From Rivendell:
The Joe Appaloosa is as good an all-around bike as we make. 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. Ideal for tires between 1.5-inches and 2.2-inches .
I/Grant have ridden it on the roughest, boulder trails of Mt. Tamalpais, on the soft-soiled and leafy trails in the redwood forests overlooking the ocean way north of here, on the fire-roady local trails of Shell Ridge and Briones park, and on thousands of commute miles and Trader Joe’s runs. All with the same smoothish treaded 1.75-inch tires and wide-range gearing. When I wear those out, I’ll go a bit fatter.
The Appaloosa has equal amounts of everything we like about bicycles. As versatile and all-around useful as you could ask for, with beautiful, unique-to-Rivendell lugs, crown, and graphics.
