Totally agree with you, Paul. I know I'm being picky, but the welds on my
Roadini look pretty sloppy. Best believe it's going up for sale just so
long as (1) the Lugged Leo has the same snappy ride quality and (2) it
comes in blue. Not sure what compelled me to sell my Soma SanMarcos ten

There is truly no equal to Blue Lug. As Eric said, the combination of
perfectly curated builds combined with excellent photography and an eye for
getting the best angles. A lot of great shops out there, but BL are on
their own level.
I also really appreciate how they note the frame size for
Eric - an excellent filming of your workshop and exterior plantings. What
a nice place to live and do your work. I was reminded, though, of a
similar but not quite as professional episode as this one from several
years ago where you were doing a rebuild of a mixte that your "partner's"

Valerie, I would love to hear every single thing you say about this bike. Do you have sweepy bars? Drop bars? Have you ridden it on a club ride? Do you find it to be quick and lively? What was the reason you bought your Charlie? I don’t know why the lugged Roadini, either. Anyone know?LeahOn May
I always toss grip shifts and replace with microshift. $20, best money you
can spend on a rehab. But I agree, friction would have been better.

Pics of the Ridge Searcher? (And who comes up with these names? It's as bad
as pharmaceuticals.)
As to why bike mfrs complicate what is really a very simple and easily
learned action -- shifting a chain to different cogs or rings -- I think
it's largely marketing: #1: make it idiot-proof (*) so

I recently finished rehabbing a '95 Schwinn "Ridge Searcher" that was in
very neglected condition. It was given to a lady who has little or no

Oh, and Leah: you really must give a good quality, light, and well set up
drop-bar road bike a try. Really, for modestly energetic riding there is,
IMO, nothing like a well designed drop bar (ie: Maes Parallel). If your new
road bike fit you as well as this bike fits me, you'd be twice as fast as
I'm curious about the whole lugged Roadini thing now. The Susie I
understand because its a cost/time of manufacture thing but in the case of
the Roadini it basically is just upping the cost. Unless the feeling is
that a lugged model will just sell better regardless of a higher price.

I saw the mention of the lugged Roadini. I am 99% certain I will order one
once they become available.

According to Rivendell Reader, the suggested seat height is 69-72cm for
this. My PBH is 83, and I am 170cm tall. I'd wager I'm on the short-side
for this bike, despite my saddle (71-72cm) being in range.

The Rivendell product schedule is like a fever dream.
So many variations on one theme -- or maybe two themes. Go-fast yet
comfortable, which are the most interesting bikes to me (Roadini, Gallop,
AHH, maybe Sam), plus the long

Doing some spring cleaning and listing the following up for sale:
Ron's Bikes Tulips cycling cap *20$ shipped* - this was a one off for the
2021 Nutmeg Nor'easter.
Ultradynamico grey cycling cap - *20$ shipped *
**buy both caps for 35$ shipped*
IRD QB-55 Square taper BB - 68x118mm - *30$
I hope I'm not spreading misinformation but in Grant's latest Blahg he
mentions a Lugged Roadini in October. Does that mean fully lugged? It think
so but not 100% sure. This Blahg is loaded with good stuff too if you
haven't seen it check it out.

There is a lugged Roadini coming? Has that been discussed before?

Glad you corrected me on that one. I know Grant prefers lugs so makes

My understanding (which may be wrong, my memory for stuff I read a while
ago seems to have left me as I recently approached my 62nd birthday) is the
CHG will also be lugged and probably not cheap. It will be longer-stayed
than the Roadini. It's coming September! I know at least one

I’m so impressed you did this ride. I was talking to Sarah and she was
telling me how miserable that weather was, so the fact that you muscled
through is super-impressive. I’m interested in getting a Gallup as a road
