Re: [RBW] If you convince Rivendell to bring back "one" former model

I've noticed a fair bit of interest in Bombadil and Hunqapillar frames over the last few years. The frames certainly seem to sell on the used market for quite a lot, compared to other Rivendell frames. Can someone give me a quick run-down of these bikes and what their intended purposes were? H

Re: [RBW] Re: Pedals, MKS XC Bear Trap III vs. MKS Bubble Pedals
