Very nice bike, Chris. I love the color. You will love the Paul's breaks, easy set up, great control. I liked them so much on my tandem that I bought a set for my Rambouillet. Two questions. I see that the front fender stay is nearly horizontal. I installed the same fluted Honjos on my Ram

Beautiful bikes Chris. I have always had a passion for the older black Competitions. The bar on the Raleigh looks very interesting, what kind is it¿ ( i can type the ? upsidedown because Im currently vactioning in the Yucatan with my wife) The 3 speed hub sounds pretty cool too. Velocult is a

Mike, the bars on my Raleigh Competition 3-Speed Fixed Wheel are track bars from Eighth-Inch: http://www.eighthinch.com/track_bars.html I was going for a Path Racer kind of set-up. I haven't decided if I like the bars yet, or not. They feel great in the drops. I want really shallow drops because

Hi Rob I've been riding all those same roads since my first double century in 1983. Up through the 80s, including when I raced RAAM in 1987, nobody had a lower gear than 42x23. We sneered at C-Record when it came out with a 39 tooth small ring. Eventually I got older, grew out of my skinny

Beautiful bikes, Chris. I was more into the Raleigh than the Roadeo, too, and I'm glad Mike asked about the bars. The Rough Rider decal and headbadge, on the Roadeo, though! Too cool. I look forward to the slideshow of these bikes, and how you like the s3x hub. I'm not likely to get down to San

I have a 48x34 crankset (Velo Orange) on one of my bikes and an a 50x34 (Campy) on another. I don't find the big jump to be a drawback. In practice, I use the big ring for 90% or more of my riding, switching to the small ring just for the steep stuff. Once I'm in the small ring, I stay there

Looks great, Chris. I saw a guy rocking a RoughRiders Anybike Anywhere jersey at the SFR Lighthouse 200k this weekend. He rode a fixie. Nice guy. Oldtimer with a great grey beard. What brake calipers are you running on your Roadeo? On Jan 25, 4:05 pm, XO-1.org Rough Riders

Thanks, William. Those are Velo-Orange Grand Cru brakes on my Roadeo, but I'm in the process of making all my bikes VO-free Zones, so Velo Cult is ordering me some Paul's Racer M's (center-mount since I don't have the braze-ons) to run instead. Those will go on the bike along with the new Classic

Chris, it should be a really fun ride. I have done many of the pieces of the route, but never all at once they way it was put together for this brevet. I know you are a strong rider, but put some thought intio your gear range, there are some pretty serious hills thrown in there, mostly in the
