I wish that they would run a short run of a super lightweight Flexi road model. They do short runs of bikes like this and the Bubbe it would be cool if they did a super Flexi light one one day. Would be cool to see what they make in that style. Yes I know that's not their thing so please

What I wish was also mentioned was 'stack and reach'. It's 'easy' to plug these numbers into a CAD program (bikecad, rattlecad) to find them, but seems like a really quick thing for RBW to start including as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I'm curious about Don's comments regarding tire clearance. Does the Roadeo really have more chainstay clearance than the Rambouillet? It sure doesn't look like it in the last thumbnail image currently on the website. I'm also not sure this is the critical area - I would have guessed that the

I have a Ram, a Rom, A Roadeo, a Soma San Marcos (see a pattern here?) and I find that the Roadini is closest to the San Marcos, then the Ram/Rom, and least like the Roadeo. YMMV. On Monday, November 27, 2017 at 11:59:16 PM UTC-5, Patrick Moore wrote: > > Don: I'm at least somewhat personally

Just looking at the Roadini frame from the side, it looks like it has the longer chainstays of the Ram vs the Roadeo. The Ram had less room between the chain stays ( width) than a Roadeo or many of their current models. I bet that the Roadini is a great road bike that can handle today's fat but

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadinis could be arriving any day now?

The Roadini is a nice looking bike, and I totally understand the reason to go with a sloping top tube. The other thing Grant didn't say in regards to this model but, the sloping top tube allows them to make less frame sizes to fit more people/sell more bikes :) IMO i very much dislike sloping

I currently own a 59cm Roadeo and owned a 60cm Rambouilet in the past. With the exception of the sloping top tube and the extra space for fat tires, the Roadini's geo looks very similar to a Ram. On Sunday, October 15, 2017 at 12:21:34 PM UTC-7, Daniel D. wrote: > > Anxiously awaiting their

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadinis could be arriving any day now?

Roadeo (iirc) is made of thinner tubing and comes in more sizes. The geometry is also different. I am so hung up on the sloping top tubes on bikes that I asked Gunnar to make my custom w/ as horizontal top tube as possible,. On Friday, November 3, 2017 at 10:06:40 AM UTC-4, RichS wrote: > >

I'm not Paul, but I can tell you that, given the same parts hanging off the frame and fork, the difference in weight will be minimal--ounces, not pounds. Slightly more metal in the tubing, but less tubing for a given size. Essentially weight between the two should be a non-factor, unless

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadinis could be arriving any day now?

Paul, I'm curious. Do you think the Roadini would be much different than the Roadeo? They seem comparable other than frame tubes, number of lugs on the Roadeo and perhaps a couple of pounds weight difference. Thanks very much, Richard On Fri, Nov 3, 2017 at 12:50 AM, Paul Y
