I've had a Sam for 4 years now. It was my only bike for 3.5 years. I
started with drops, then Aherne MAP, then back to drops, then SimWorks
Getaround, then... bought a Roadini frame and built it up with Sam's old
drops.
Swapping got tiresome, and while the Sam was equally great in "fast mode"

That Facebook post is from Jan 2023 so I gotta assume that bike is gone. Also the head tube looks very tall for a 54. Does anyone know if there were 700c versions of AHH in 54.5?On Apr 27, 2024, at 9:04 PM, Kim H. wrote:@Brenton -If you go FACEBOOK Rivendell Bicycle BUY/SELL/TRADE, there is a

Definitely would need to know your frame/wheel size. My 57cm Sam with
tektro side pulls and 700c Velocity Dyad hoops clears a 47 teravail, 48
Rene herse, and 50 gravel king. Not sure how much bigger you’d need.

If you ever want to bike-pack and go somewhere remote or accessible via
single track, having your luggage up in a basket, frame bag, saddlebag,
avoids the risk of catching a pannier (or both) on roots, branches, downed
trees cut just wide enough for passage, etc.

I have a B17 on my Sam that I love. 12 years old and showing very little

[I'm curious why you didn't just replace the fork with a disc mount option
and leave the rear a canti/linear pull brake?]
While an exploratory project like this might not be the quickest or most
logical route, it results in a very unique ride!
There are probably lugged frame+forks out there
Looking very sweet. I love the twin bags front and rear. What size
Carradice are those?
Hope you let that cola settle down before opening!

many! I was reading that they are shaped more to match the curve of
53/39/30, but does that really matter outside of
Dibs! Sent you an email.

Hi,
I am thinking about going NOS or near-new-vintage crankset for a build.
Nothing against modern stuff, but eBay seems to have a plethora of nice
shimano 105/600 cranksets in great shape for under $100.
I know 90s road bike gearing was more focused on racing with small
cassettes in the

The seller said he’d go as low as $1600. There’s gotta be some opinions
here. I have debated 90s road bike vs Roadini in previous threads and I’m
still considering both. Building a Roadini would cost me
I suppose I should have mentioned it would be a 57cm frame. Love the mix of
reviews+experience. Thanks all!

I am considering buying a Roadini frame to build up with a mix of
new/old/bin parts.
I have a Velocity Dyad/Deore/SP dynamo wheelset I used on my Sam Hillborne
and I'm wondering if that's a safe/doable option to put on a Roadini.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards an RB-1 or something similar.
Swap in some Noodles and a reasonable stem, ~30mm tires, and try it out.
Definitely less risky than $2500 for a new bike from Riv.

I've read everything Riv Staff has written on the Roadini and I believe
they are being honest. Lot's of folks here though, have said it's
underwhelming.
The geometry is remarkably similar to the Hillborne and I guess I don't
know if it makes sense.
