Of all the bikes offered by Rivendell Bicycle Works, the Appaloosa is the perfect all-rounder. A timeless everyday classic that will ride for a long time and more. It is a frame that will appeal to both tourers and Sunday commuters alike.
As Riv's great mind, Grant, puts it so well: "I don't think a better-riding bike is possible. I know I can't design one. […] It is impossible not to like this bicycle".
