One of the bikes you could have seen at NAHBS

I didn't catch this bike at the show in person, but it did catch my eye in the after-photos.  It's built like an old Ritchey (fillets), to a geometry like a 1992 or 1993 Bridgestone, except it takes 650B wheels.   Pretty darn sharp looking bike, IMO.  I'm still making up my mind if I think this is being retro just for retro sake.  The fact is a LOT of people are doing 1983 Stumpjumper restorations and loving them.  So those bikes still work.  Why not make a new bike that acknowledges that those bikes got several things right?

I'm a little confused by what you mean here, but I think you're having a rhetorical discussion with yourself?

If so, um, your right. Those old bikes got several things right. Making something that takes the best aspects of them is, in fact, the opposite of retro for retro sake. It's retro with a reason.

FWIW, I think the bike needs more cow-bell. (ie. bull moose bars ;-)

Yes that was a rhetorical debate with myself.  You should see the ones I have that I don't post about.  :-P

And I agree, bullmoose would be awesome on that Gallus.

That's bloody gorgeous (though the fork bend could be improved). I bet you it rides great. I have a 2009 Sam, a 2011 Rawland rSogn, and both are fabulous bikes. I also have a 1990 Fisher Sphinx (Gary's early take on a monstercross) which I have recently converted to a rigid 29er, and I am absolutely loving it. Though if someone wanted to trade their Hunqapillar for it, I wouldn't say no. :)

Cheers,

That was one of my favorite bikes from the show!
