My area is way too hilly and I am way too old to entertain a single speed
(or two or three speed) anyway so its not something I am interested in BUT
I was still curious. If its designed to use a tensioner then why not just
single speed one of their existing bikes?

Johnny - no tensioner required for single speed; the dropout allows the
rear axle to slide to tension the chain. There is also derailleur hanger to
support for tensioner for a 2x1 or 3x1 setup.

You could singlespeed an existing frame, but this one is designed so you
DON'T need a tensioner for it if you're definitely-fer-sure going to stick
with one gear.

Question about thatif it requires a string tensioner then what makes it
a singlespeed specific frame? He said it had horizontal dropouts which is
what would typically fix the need for a tensioner.

Grant wants folks to be able to run a double crankset and front derailleur

a shift cable for a front derailleur if they can't find a good bolt-on
I have a Clem Smith Jr. "L" bicycle. It has a SILVER crankset 110/74 bcd
with rings of 34T and 24T. in the rear I have a SunRace 14-42T 9-speed

…or use a 120mm rear wheel and have a full on geared bike. I’ve fit 8 cogs
with “10-speed” spacing onto a 120mm cassette hub from Grand Bois. A 2x8
RoadUno would be pretty funny.

Thanks for sharing this Max. I enjoy geeking out on the numbers!

Hi George,
That's great news. I hope your shifting continues to be trouble free!

I want to try an Albastache. Anyone have one to sell? The less pristine the
better as I’m in a “change the stem a lot” phase and the stems are not
faceplaters.
I’m in Sacramento, reply off list please.

I can pretty much guarantee you that it will not have any braze-ons for
rear shifting, so one would need to

Hey Brian, you can always track down a Quickbeam (I've seen a couple up for
sale recently) or a Simpleone. I had one for a bit and it was a really fun
bike with great tire clearance

And if you went with removing the inner ring, you'd need single speed chain
ring bolts for the middle ring. Not difficult to find.

I keep forgetting about the dangling hanger. Such a silly thing to have
added IMO, particularly if 120 spaced. Admittedly I don't understand the
attraction to the 3-by-1 drivetrain, but regardless, a regular
vertical-dropout bike is well suited to that already. It's not a huge
visual impact,
46/36/24 to 42/28, 9 speed to 10 speed.

Rich - thanks for the suggestion to buy an Origin8 chainring from Riv. I
did so and it arrived today (quick shipping and great packaging from Riv)
and I installed and test road it. It looks like it will solve all my
shifting problems. Thanks again!

Rode my old race bike with 650b RH slicks & a VO porteur handlebar to New
Belgium. The next day I rode my trusty Ritchey at Bent Creek. Somewhere
along the way a rider on a well loved Riv offered me a sip of Kool Aid. I
drank it down - it was good. Less than a week later I bought a Platypus.
I used the Ritchey as a double with a 44/32, and a 32 low in the rear.
Worked great. I don't remember the bb but it was probably 110. I have no
experience with the Suntour, but I found 94 bcd to be more flexible for my
needs than 110.

I converted my original edition Sam Hillborne from a 46/36/24 triple 7

low, same gaps) I did the following:

But Rivendell offers many options for those that want a geared bike. It
seems odd that someone would want to overly gear up this single speed. I am
agreement that the hanger should not be on there. I am OK with two rings on
the front with no derailler. Thats bare bones.

When I first heard about the Roaduno I was over the moon about it, however
my interest has continued to decline as more and more details become
available. I love the clean lines single speed setups offer so the addition
of the rear hanger and routing for a front derailleur is a major bummer to
