Isn't that what GP was railing about when he was at B'Stone? No one was making a 'normal' bike? It was either racebikes, which are impractical in any situation where seconds don't count; moutain bikes, which are impractical in any situation where the road is paved; or 'city' bikes, which offend the tastes of the gentleman cyclist.

The people wanted a normal road bike, with normal angles, normal parts sizes, fender and rack mounting capacity, and built in the old style to modern manufacturing standards. That was the Rambo.

Apparently, GP has decided that the people want to be forced to use brakes that aren't made anymore on a tire size that hasn't ever been supported in an English-speaking country.

Check out the curly lugs! Dig that crazy name we gave it! A Taiwanese factory is as good as a Japanese workshop!
