Maybe.
The last Rivendell I saw in public was a beat Homer Hilsen.
Four weeks ago.
Homer Hilsens are practical, capable bikes. He should take advantage of this if he is ahead of "trends" and get his "country" bike out in the market while the segment is building.
Don't get me wrong, I like many of their bikes, but market penetration in the bike happy Twin Cities market is zipp.
FWIW I'd reissue the Quickbeam in a reasonably priced version, but make sure it has a load of utility built in.
$1,500 to $1,800 out the door and he would sell a boat load.
As for his photos, they are a bit of a head shaker. imho
