I've gone back and forth on the Roaduno. The majority of my bikes are set up single speed when I first heard about it I was enamored. My enthusiasm waned when I heard it would be more of a homer SS vs a clem SS (I think the very first info was talking tire sizes in the 55 range?). Then the photos of the products bikes started coming in. Woo baby! What a nice looking bike. And that purple! I think the roaduno would be a great city commuter bike. However, I don't think I'll buy one. Maybe I will regret it. But the 45c no fender clearance just isn't quite enough for me for a bike with such high versatility potential. Could i ride 45c tires on singletrack? Sure. Would I have as much fun as i would on a 55c tire? I personally would not.
