To Patrick's point on tubing, I get the sense that today's Rivendell "road" tubing is practically yesterday's "mountain bike" tubing. Looking at the CHG's engineering print, for instance, it's a 1.1-0.8-1.1 31.8 downtube and 0.9 25.4 top tube (ovalized). Not sure on the rear end. But you could build a touring bike with that tubing by older standards. If I were placing a bet, it would be that this bike will use the aforementioned tubing that the CHG is.
I love the simplicity of a singlespeed, and how you quickly adapt to just pedaling and not thinking about gear changes... but I can't justify one in our mountainous region. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
