Tim, I grew up at the base of Mt Diablo and have ridden just about every road and trail in that county. I don't have a Rodeo but my road bike is pretty similar, i run 35mm tires on it and I would ride most of the fire trails in the Diablo environs on it. Moab is a bit different, I would def

The hills on the Riv site are mostly around Diablo and provide good trail riding. If you want to go all the way to the top, it's easier to take the paved road, or trails part way and paved part way. On the trails you can see coyotes but not a dire wolf. Don't worry about slowing me down. I hav

Sometimes something as simple as a burr on the inside edge of the seat tube can make a seat post feel too snug, in which case a round bastard file will take care of it in a few seconds. If you get the bike back feel inside the seat tube with your fingers. On Monday, January 30, 2017 at 4:26:1

Dan, seems like that 55 would be the perfect fit for you, according to the Bleriot brochure and my experience. Try to straddle the top tube barefoot near the stem, it should be quite snug there. Then with shoes on and standing over the middle you have a nice inch of clearance or so. Typical rider

My vote goes to the Hilsen. If you've done PBP on it, you know the bike and the bike knows you. Fenders and racks are good features to have and one of the detractions from the Roadeo and a long trip as this. The Hunq is not meant for this kind of trip, IMO, specially if you have the other choice
