Rivendell’s Appaloosa is a true all-rounder. It’s 100 percent perfect for 90 percent of the riding you’re likely to do, and 90 percent perfect for the other ten percent. Make sense? It’s ideal for tires between the 1.5 – 2.2″ range. Build them as a hilly bike or a ’round town cruiser. Available today at noon PST as a presale, Rivendell’s running a classic frame pre-sale ($1,750 frame/fork) or offering up two employee spec builds: Antonio’s mountain bike (pictured above) or Mark’s road-ish build.

- 650b wheels in size 51cm
