A beautiful pure Rivendell. I love my Roadeo, but I could sure enjoy a Rosco. Cheers, Don C. On Wednesday, December 14, 2016 at 3:37:22 PM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > > <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gzyIPLdbTQ0/WFHXoolCYOI/DVI/7MBrRsmymLs7eYXTSvUoQPe88C5xD5Q6QCLcB/s1

OK. After about a 150 miles I measured the tires. They both measured 32.3. On Monday, December 5, 2016 at 9:40:46 PM UTC-8, Don Compton wrote: > > It's Christmas time and I thought that it's my turn to splurge on some > fancy tires. It was not a mistake. These tires rock!! My

[RBW] Re: Just bought Compass 700x32 Extra Lights

I am sorry that I haven't measured them. They're wider than the Grand Bois 28's I had used before. I have so much room for tires on my Roadeo that I don't worry about actual width. On Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at 6:55:35 AM UTC-8, Paul G wrote: > > Don, what is the width of your new St

I bought a custom Steve Rex for my wife 8-9 years ago. We spent about $5000. My wife is 5'1"and needed a custom frame set. She has nevered even considered wanting another bike. It really fits the author's experience. Don C. On Monday, December 12, 2016 at 6:40:16 AM UTC-8, Edwin W wrote:

Another note. I am riding the tires at 48psi front and 55psi rear on 23 mm rims. They do not feel mushy, but have a wonderful ride. On Monday, December 5, 2016 at 9:40:46 PM UTC-8, Don Compton wrote: > > It's Christmas time and I thought that it's my turn to splurge on some > fa

I am not a long distance rider, but I rode the Wine Country Century twice on my old Ram, and 4 times on my old Roadeo that I sold to someone on this forum. At 65, I am enjoying my new Roadeo, but shorter distances and less hills. I have ridden lots of centuries over the years and wish I had

Re: Noodles uncomfortable? Was: [RBW] Re: Nitto M151F bar story behind it on all those riv builds lately?

I rode noodles for years using Campy Ergo Shifters. On my latest Roadeo, I installed a Shimano 6800 group ( with Shimano std reach brakes). The brifters are longer and I needed a shorter reach bar. If I had used a shorter stem, the tops of the bars of the Noodles would have been useless. So, I

I've been a Rivendell fan for years having owned 4 different bikes. I used B-17 saddles for years, but with wear, as the area under my sit bones would settle, the hump in the saddle( running for-aft) would cause extreme discomfort. I just had to give up on Brooks. I have been using a Secialized

Re: [RBW] Re: Which bikes should Rivendell keep selling?

Patrick, I live in N. Calif. and stay away from riding in the rain. I never use fenders on my Roadeo. So, in that context, my Roadeo has room for some fairly large tires, atleast 38c without fenders. It has more room than my old Rambouillet. On Thursday, September 15, 2016 at 9:19:42 AM UTC-7,
