I think any of them... ;^) If I wanted to go fast and light, a Roadeo. Bring a bit o' stuff and maybe engage in a S24O, the Hilson or Hillborne. Camp out for a couple of days, Atlantis or Hunquapillar. Enjoy freedom from shifting, the Quickbeam or SimpLeone. Stay out until my facial hair makes me look like a Wookie, The Bombadil. Versatile darned designs, these Rivendells... - Jim -- Jim Edgar [email protected] Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Gallery updates now appear here - http://cyclofiend.blogspot.com "Then I sat up, wiped the water out of my eyes, and looked at my bike, and just like that I knew it was dead" -- Robert McCammon, "Boy's Life" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
