Thanks Bill. your Roadini is just a little big. I think you like a longer top
tube though we have the same saddle height. I am curious do you know the
measurement from the top of your saddle to the stem, assuming the saddle and
bars are close to level?
John - if you sell your Sam let me know.
Jonathan and John wanted a comparison between the Hillborne and Roadini.
The Roadini is a really good pure road bike. It’s perfect with 32mm tires
without fenders, 28mm tires with fenders. The Hillborne is ideal with 38mm
tires, with or without fenders. I’ve run it with 43mm BG Rock and Roads
+1 on the Blundstones. I wear my dressier 063s to work whenever possible.
Comfortable right out of the box, nice looking and great on platform pedals. I
also have a pair of Red Wing Postman Chukkas that are also great on the bike.

Sorry to hear of your foot issues. I can empathize since I’m nursing a foot
injury myself right now. I’d love to hear how the Catalyst pedals work out for

Hi Bill, is that stem powder coated or painted? Has the finish held up well?
Thinking about a color matched stem for a build I am working on.
I like the red with the blue green.

Greetings, I recently bought my first Rivendell, an Atlantis. Wanting to

I ended up with 2 purple xo-2`s at about the same time last year I only need
one and I am looking for a quickbeam/simpleone.
Neither is complete/original, if that is what you are after, but I can probably
get one close.
Condition is excellent on both, for the age. No dents or other

I saw your original post about JA sizing but I'm not sure if it was B4 or
after I ordered the Atlantis. I have Billie bars with a 110mm stem. They
come back a long way and I feel I would have felt a bit cramped even with a
130mm stem on the 50. FWIW, I had a Berthoud Aspin saddle with cut out
Same here for my Appaloosa. Bought it as a road/touring bike not a
dedicated trail rider.
Was sized by Riv charts as a 55, but felt it was too small when I got it
and built it up. Ordered a 58 and it couldn't be more perfect for me.
Semi related: I have a blue 55 Appaloosa with under 200 miles
I wanted a MIT Atlantis and Riv recommended a 50. I told Will that I would
not be using it as a single track but as an all rounder with some light
trails. I'm at the top of the 50 PBH range and the bottom of the 53. I got
the 53 and it is the best fitting bike I have owned. Hope this helps.

The Legolas and Roadini have completely different tubesets. Maybe you mean
geometry? That's also very different, in my view. The Legolas is a
cyclocross race bike. The Roadini is a road un-racing bike. The biggest
difference is that the Roadini has a much larger stack. This means it
