Bill: You totally misunderstood what I typed. I wasn’t saying you would have the handling of a Rodini. I was not suggesting that you buy a custom. I was not even talking to you.
I was just throwing the idea out there that a person can also have those benchmarks mentioned while also having a 646 bike. Sorry for the confusion. I am not a good writer. I have sold my Sam and two Bleriots. They were great bikes but when I decide not to commute because I am bummed out by the hills it’s time to look for something that rides better for me. Now I don’t fear the hills. Now recovery is quicker, enabling me to commute more days per week and have more fun. More efficient bike= less energy spent= quicker recovery from less exhaustion. The rodeo does that for me. But that is what I’m looking for in a bike. Everyone here has something they’re looking for in a bike and the cool thing is that Rivendell makes so many models just about everybody can find something that works for them. I think every bike they make are equally good, just different. PS- I’m keeping my 858 Ram!😀 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
