Re: [RBW] Re: 650b Roadeo
No, not talking a conversion, talking a bike with the Roadeo's geometry and light tubes, built around my favorite wheel/tire size... Custom would probably be the only way to get it...

Re: [RBW] Re: 650b Roadeo
Gotcha... But, if you're selling this hypothetical 650b Roadeo, then I think that would be part of the description up-front, eh??

[RBW] Re: 650b Roadeo
It would make a pretty neat custom. I will say my Roadeo is pretty awesome...very smooth and nimble, feels faster than my Sam but a lot of that has to do with the way I set it up. It is a good club riding bike. On Tuesday, March 11, 2014 2:54:11 PM UTC-5, stevef wrote: I'm starting to think my perfect bike might be a Roadeo built around 38mm tires on 650b wheels.

[RBW] Re: 650b Roadeo
You can still make it happen. A custom Riv that has the geometry of a 650B Hilsen, the tubing of a Roadeo, with cantilever brakes would be SICK Well worth pursuing as a custom.

[RBW] Re: 650b Roadeo
I didn't really think I could get a Roadeo done this way but it would be a cool bike. Yeah, maybe a custom down the road...

[RBW] Re: 650b Roadeo
The short answer is no. The made to order models are already designed. You'd be ordering that design The Roadeo, Atlantis and Hilsen are made to order to the extent that when you pay money, they order it, and then it gets made. There are no custom options, certainly not wheelsize. If you rolled in and said you wanted a 650B Roadeo, they'd first figure out what size you are, and then try to help you figure out if a 650B Hilsen would work for you. If you ended up still wanting a 650B Roadeo, you would be buying a custom.
