I gotta admit about that Roubaix. It looks like the Devil's own bike (to me). But with the saddle back, handlebars up, decent tires and gearing (i.e., as built), it looks like Devlish FUN to take for a ride!!

photos of my coupled steel Curtlo and my swoopy carbon Roubaix with upjutting stem. Definitely prefer more traditional steel aesthetics, but can't beat the road and ride feel of the Roubaix. https://picasaweb.google.com/107231724174916923201/CurtloSteelRoubaixCarbon# On Thursday, October 4, 2012 10:16:04 PM UTC-7, lungimsam wrote: ... the Bleriot's Twin Hollow/Deore wheel is in the shop for a hub overhaul. Gettin' it back Saturday, I hope. I must say, the folks at Rivbike.com know how to make a comfortable bike. When I got on the Defy today, I felt disoriented for the first 30 seconds or so, with the bars so low. Wasn't fun riding so low with the threadless headset. Don't wanna do it anymore. A lot of weight on the hands. Can't sit upright easily to see the views. I could really feel the difference now that I am riding the Bleriot more. I cannot wait to get the Bleriot back on the road with those high bars to get in the comfort zone again. During the ride, I kept thinking that I need to sell off the modern road bike and search for a Rambouillet, so I will have two high barred road bikes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
