I do, or use "Adam in Indiana" instead, to help differentiate me from the one or two other Adams.

[RBW] Re: New Roadini or hang on to Sam
This does make for an interesting question... So the Roadini has slightly steeper (.5 degree, I believe) head and seat tube angles, the top tube is baseball-batted in diameter, but does anyone know what the wall thicknesses are? Not entirely indicative of sportiness, I know, but these stats are always what I fall back on when describing how "sporty" one frame feels from another, components being the same. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

According to Riv' s write-up, the new canti-Sams have a bit more tire clearance...I would assume that with the removal of calipers, the chainstays or upper fork spacing would be the new tight spots. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rene Herse "went to go-fast 700c rando machines many years ago for a good reason"?
I've found that to be true in my case as well; I commuted for several years year-round on 25's and 28's here in Indiana, and on most types of snow, the narrower tire would cut through it and find some traction. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Real ride comparison: Joe Appaloosa vs Sam Hillborne vs Roadini?
Doesn't the Roadini use some of the same tubes as the Sam? And for the ones that aren't shared, how do they compare with the equivalent Sam tubes? I know a comparison like that, in addition to geometry charts, helps me to know how a frame will ride and perform. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I'd put the White Industries hub up there in the "pricey" category as well... The VO is better, but I suppose what I'm looking for is something in the $100 range...
