>From MOJO's post "The Road Standard has a unique quality that is indescribable. It disappears underneath me. It accelerates well, carries light loads well, handles superbly, has no toe overlap. I attribute this to Grant's design for my body and riding style. It is my only bike with caliper brakes. The Road Standard is my favorite Rivendell bike."
I had and sold a Saluki, and still have a Rambouillet to go with my 95 Road (a pre-production sample actually, with level top tube and different dropouts. Same lugs and tubes) I agree that the Road has a super ride and feel. The Reynolds 753, low BB, long stays and Waterford steering all add up to a great ride. Mine is a 650B conversion that I did to fit 38s which add to the ride quality. It is my favorite, The Ram is a lovely bike and great ride too. It's not as lively as the Road and handles more neutrally. The Saluki was like this also. I am liking the Ram more these days with upside down mustache bars and an upright posture. It was always nice, now nicer. But I vote for the Road. I like GP's early designs, through Glorius & Wilbury best. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
