Just discovered the 2020 Roadini's will facilitate that. If I had waited a
year, that probably would've been my forever bike.

Has anyone fit jack brown tires with fenders on their Roadini?

Thank you, everyone, for your input. I didn't end up bidding on the XO-1.
I'm going to call Riv about a Roadini shortly!

I just bought a new 54cm roadini this week, built it up with mostly leftover
parts (as quick as possible without sleeping) and took it for a shake down ride
in the hills yesterday evening. The ride climbs 1200 ft or so on not great
roads and descends quickly on pretty sketchy road.
I ride
Zack,
Your question refers to the Homer.
Mine checks all the boxes. Did a 46 mile ride on it yesterday in 90 degree temp.
Ride quality: Smooth as silk.
Luxury: As far as appearance goes -It’s a looker for sure.
Speed: How fast do you need to go?
Best,

Agreed. I made this post to the group a few days ago when the price was
still reasonable! Definitely off my list now. And encouraging to know that
all of you would prefer the Roadini anyway.

Yeah I'm really glad I didn't waste my time bidding on it.

I’d be getting a 50cm. My understanding is that the newest models have wider
clearance and can clear a 38mm or 33mm with a fender.

Many thanks, Rich! For me it was down to a Roadini or a Homer. The fact that
Riv just sold out of my size in Homers really decided it for me.

I don't think it's a silly comparison. The X0-1 on ebay looks pretty
fantastic. If it were me, I'd look at how much it was going to cost you to
do the full build of the roadini. If it was similar or just a bit more
expensive, I'd go roadini. If the X0-1 can be had for less, then I think
it'd
Jason, when you say luxury, are you just referring to the aesthetics of also
the ride quality.

$2515?? No. That's madness.

I'd love to know how this turned out. That XO is gone.

I'd get the Roadini. I like the looks of the roadini and the price is
pretty good too. The tig welding does not bother me over the lugs, even
though I personally would pony up cash for lugs.
Or I would be looking hard at the A Homer Hilsen too. I kinda like the
looks of the Homer better and
Yes, I have similar dreams about swapping this part or that part on whichever
bike or a custom or a. . .
It never stops does it?
Keep on dreaming!

Interesting info Rich, now you've got me dreaming about swapping my Sam

Zack,
No experience with a Roadini but a synopsis of
my current Rivs:
MIT Homer - Lightest of the three. Now this is only a guess based on past
observations from others on the list - the Homer and the Roadini frames
weigh about the same. No doubt about it, the Homer rides lighter and

There are some advantages to the XO I find it to be much more compliant then

I can vouch for the Homer being luxurious. I was considering a Roadini or
a custom 90’s Rivendell bike for sale on their website. Grant recommended
the Homer instead. It’s been an awesome ride.

The XO-1 is a very cool collector item, but I'll come right out and say it:
it is overpriced for its ride quality, due to its collector status. For a
Sunday driver I think it's a great bike but for an everyday, long distance
road bike, the Roadini has another 30 years of Grant's experience
Oof, I've seen the XO you're looking at..your competition for bidding have lost
their minds! It's a lovely piece of history but I don't think they're worth
what those folks seem willing to pay. Modern Rivs are better bikes.

Roadini. The XO-1 is a fun bike but achieves its low-standover sizing at the
expense of a short headtube..getting them bars up is an exercise in searching
for tall stems and bars.
I've owned both and the Roadini is a truly great bicycle.

I like my X0-3, but honestly the new bikes are more refined and easier to
size. If I had one I'd keep it but I wouldn't pay collectors prices for
one.
Currently the Sam Hillborne is most like the 93 X0-1 (cantis, max 47mm
tire) and the A Homer Hilsen most like the 92 XO-1 (sidepulls, max
Are you sure that a Roadini will fit 38mm tires? Would you be getting the
47cm size that is built for 650b or one of the larger sizes that is 700c?
