I was pleasantly surprised that the final will be fully lugged. I like the sound of the cream headtube as well, and a singlespeed that can run 55mm tires sounds awesome.
That said, I find myself getting hung up on the name/decals. I just think Roaduno sounds a little silly and the headbadge doesn't do anything for me. Pretty bad reasons to not get one, but might be enough for me in this case. Anyone else in the same boat? In my own defense, I am hoping to get a Quickbeam soon and I think I will prefer the shorter wheelbase on that for the riding I do On Saturday, August 20, 2022 at 9:07:14 AM UTC-5 iamkeith wrote: > This is turning out better than I'd hoped.
