From Rivendell:

We've called the Homer a "country bike" because it's between a too-skinny/ techy modern road bike and a gonzo-bozo techy mountain bike. But if you ride on roads exclusively, it's a pure road bike, with no compromises. Its ability to fit tires to 43mm with fenders and a rack or two doesn't detract from its roadiness AT ALL. It is the most versatile, useful road bike we make or can even imagine.  I have two--one with Albatross bars, one with drops.

Since the first Homers in 2006 (or so) we've offered it in Homer Blue, and now alongside, we've got a dark green coming in2025.
