Good point re overall design; i agree; bad phrasing on my part. I was curious what difference there was, if any.
I suggested a friend get a Roadini (and he did) and we both love how it rides. Having ridden a bunch of longer chainstay'd Rivs, I do feel they ride differently than my [former] Saluki, and other older Rivs I've had; and different than my wife's Riv mixte, which is likewise an older one. Though the mixte has some of the feel of the newer bikes. The tandem we have likewise has that feeling of tracking, yet quick to turn that the Roadini has - and yeah, it's oversimplification to attribute it to that one more obvious thing. I picked up a BMC road frame as a stop-gap when the bike i ride the most needed a frame repair (i moved the parts over from it), and while i love how the BMC rides, the Roadini kinda got me thinking that would have been a good choice. Further up [Bill] yr description of the BMC is good; it's a quick, comfortable, well handling ride; my friends Roadini feels the same, ie quick and comfortable BUT - there is a singularity to it's handling that is obvious and great. It feels smoother, and turning is different (and no, not 'planing') -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
