I like 'em. I'm certainly curious if the hanger addition will be
accompanied with any other spec changes like going from 120-130/132.5/135mm
rear hub spacing or just as a nice option on the 120mm frame. I recently
just found a crack on one of my single speeds reducing my fleet to a Clem

The "Quickbeam style ends" were shown on Rivs instagram. It's a plastic

I have not put together a complete bike although I've changed out many
parts over the years. I think I will begin acquiring parts with the plan to
build up a Roaduno in 2023. WI freewheel is a no-brainer for me but all the
other parts are TBD. I agree about TCO Bill. Although manageable to ride
That sounds about right to me, Eric. I'm guessing something that is kind
of like a Leo Roadini with cantilever brakes, clearance for 50mm tires and
Quickbeam-style ends. I hope it has a long front center to avoid TCO. My

I saw the earlier images, but it’s still not super clear. I’m guessing it’s
like a long wheelbase-sloping top tube Quickbeam?

Exciting indeed. I will be first in line for the production frames. I
wonder what the color options will be?

The Roaduno samples are on the boat, at the dock in Oakland this week, so
those sample builds will be along soon. Exciting.

I think the Gallops are 2023 and they have already gone through two proto

The plan had been that the Prototype Roadunos would be in one of these
Summer Shipments. I think that the prototype Roadunos maybe were in the
shipment with the Atlantis' or maybe will be in the next shipment. Those
will be prototypes, so we'll presumably get to see them built up, and

Hey all, I wanted to revive this old thread to see if any one has any new
information about when the Roaduno might be released for sale.
Thanks,

This excerpt is from the August 6 newsletter. I'll be shocked (but bake in
that I tend towards the skeptical) if we see a Roaduno before 2023.

been pushed back to 2023. We're still waiting to hear for sure what we can
Is there any update on the Roaduno? If there was, I missed it.

That's dynamite news for you long-leggers! Start planning your builds!
If anybody wants to go uber-traditional I have a NIB Dura Ace Track hub, 32

Hi -

Supremes fit with room to spare. My Rene Herse 38mm Barlow Pass tires fit
with OODLES of room to spare. I have seen numerous posts and articles
ascribing usage of 44mm tires on Quickbeams. Perhaps your Rock'n Roads
Bill,
I love the idea. I remember Grant writing in an email or blahg or
somewhere, in terms of the business, "We're smaller than you think." We'd
really prove that in a lovely way if we realized a larger run of a new
singlespeed.

Super interesting to see this new single (double?) speed! This past fall, I
finally had the funds to get my SimpleOne built up for riding here in hilly
western mass. Here's a link to some images post by my LBS, they put
together the bar, stem, brake, and fenders (they also built the wheelset).
If you ~100cm PBH folks are serious, I bet you could make it happen. We
all know Grant knows how to design a 65cm Roaduno. I'd say the chances are
decent that he already has it. The only reason Rivendell Bicycle Works
doesn't go 'one size larger' or 'one size smaller' is they don't have the

My Quickbeam is spaced to 130mm and I use the Surly cassette spacer and cog
kit to get a perfect chainline. I like the 130 spacing as I can use any of
my road wheels. Also, I run 43mm Gravel Kings on my QB no problem. I
consider the geometry on my QB near perfect as an all around road bike, and
I had a feeling there must have been some discussion on this one after
finally catching up with the Blahg and seeing the teasers. Like Kai I have
my fingers crossed for a biggie in any color but assume the working text
from Ian's link confirms it'll get capped at 61cm. I have a tall 27"/69cm
This bike sounds a lot like the Rosco Roads, which used SimpleOne forks,
but tire clearance with fenders is apparently better . My Rosco Road has
130mm rear spacing and I do 700x35 to be on the safe side, but could
probably do 700x38. The RU is supposed to do 700x45 with fenders. I
wouldn't
I expect these are sized like the more recent Rivendells such as the Sam
Hillborne, etc. The 54cm would be the right size for me, and I would have
ridden a 56 or 58cm Quickbeam, for example.

Okay, after reading the obscure details on the R1, I stand corrected.
Despite the shocking shortcoming of its very limited PBH range, it has one

To Patrick's point on tubing, I get the sense that today's Rivendell "road"

Just hit the link, 61 for the biggie? sadface.
I too loved my Quickbeams, two 68s. I'd buy more if I could but would
welcome a brand new slightly tigged Roaduno in a size huge. Sloping tube 64
might've done it, alas, it isn't meant to be...
Won't be fitting any of those 40 new Roscos either, but
I think one key thing will be the dropout design. The draft copy says it
can handle a six tooth gap. That's what my Surly Cross Check could do with
careful gear selection, and it's forward facing horizontal dropouts are
much easier to live with than the rear facing track ends of the Quickbeam.
Hi Nathan,
No secret - I just searched "roaduno" using the search (magnifying glass
icon) on rivbike.com.

I’m curious why they went/will go with a 120mm spacing. Correct me if I’m
wrong, but it seems like 130 would allow for a larger variety hub options.
In theory, wouldn’t a 130mm SS-specific hub have slightly wider flanges
thus allowing for a stronger wheel build?

I'd like a Lime Olive one. Single top tube? Probably. Sloping top tube?
yes, since there are only 4 sizes. Rebirth of Roadini? It is a Roadini

It looks great. So far the colours are more along the lines of green and
orange/gold which both sound great.
