[RBW] Re: NBOD: New Bike Ordered Day! The mythical canti-Roa!

Bill, That sounds like an awesome bike! I've been thinking that if I could get Roadeo tubing on a frame like the Roadini with long chain stays and cant or center pull studs that would be a perfect bike for me. All the other options sound great too. I look forward to seeing it built up. JB,

Nikko asked about geometry nuances. The Legolas has a little steeper STA and a little slacker HTA. The Legolas has a higher BB (less drop). The Roadeo has a longer effective TT. The fork rake and chainstay length is essentially the same. I downsize a race bike so I run a 57 Legolas and a

I love that you're gonna have a Legolas and a canti-Roadeo. Other than the bb drop, what are the main geometry differences between the two? The ST/HT angle is more forward, correct? And they both will have different fork rake? Also, I think it's a solid choice for the tuxedo paint. That Sam is

Do what you want and don't get caught up with what others think. I imagine when I put canti's on an early 70's Motobecane LeChampion, people thought I was trying to make a cross/touring bike. I just really liked the bike and wanted different brakes...and a small trunk sack up front. Of

Mike You are right that there are gatekeepers. In this case, the gatekeepers are Grant and Mark A. Grant's main thing is if you buy a Roadeo, and they put Roadeo on it, it's got to be a Roadeo. I asked them about the concept in principal back in 2020, and I was only like 60/40 that they

[RBW] Re: NBOD: New Bike Ordered Day! The mythical canti-Roa!

That sounds really neat Bill. I was always under the impression that a canti-roa may not fly with gate keepers at Riv. But since it is a custom from Riv and you are staying with the Riv design principles then it is go. Can't wait to see it. Mike SLO CA On Tuesday, April 5, 2022 at 1:01:28 PM

Marty "Compatibility with red" is a nice-to-have feature: Corwin elected to sell back the RED Chris King headset to me, and I have the red Fizik Arione saddle also. Silver with red could tie it all together. Cream with red headtube is the classic Roadeo trademark color. It's what I had,

[RBW] Re: NBOD: New Bike Ordered Day! The mythical canti-Roa!

George OK, I understand your point, but I disagree with it. The major difference I see between a road bike and a cyclocross bike is BB height (aka drop). A cross bike with little drop has a higher BB, is more "nervous" aka "agile". A road bike with more drop is more "planted" and "stable".

[RBW] Re: NBOD: New Bike Ordered Day! The mythical canti-Roa!

I like the idea Bill, and wholeheartedly APPROVE! Are you thinking cantis, or v-brakes? Timing-wise the new Riv Vs might coincide with frame delivery. I'm guessing drop bars? Back in my distant past (and before Riv) I had canti bosses added to a Paramount I had custom built. That was a sweet

[RBW] Re: NBOD: New Bike Ordered Day! The mythical canti-Roa!

Bill - none of the above really. I just see the geometry of the Roadeo as those of a typical "road" bike and, since those are the dimensions that cross bikes also have, adding canti's to it makes it more or less seem like a cross bike. No big deal about it at all, just an observation. Many
