Carla asked about what surfaces I've ridden on and how it rides. It's my daily commute bike. It's essentially aroad bike with 700x35 Bon Jon Pass tires. There's a short mud trail on my path through the hills, but I wouldn't call that mountain riding. Now that the rain has appeared to let up, I'm thinking about running Rock and Roads with no fenders, but it's great the way it is. It rides like a Rivendell Road bike. Solid, lively, comfortable, predictable.
John asked about the front rack. It's a mini-porteur rack by the builder "Haulin Colin" Jay asked 'why go to all the trouble' of making my own super compact double instead of buying the Rivendell offering of the shelf. Certainly if you have more money than free time, or more money than inclination to pull together a concept, then a turnkey solution like the Rivendell Sugino offering is way easier. In my case, I ended uip with a crankset that is lighter, stronger, prettier, has 172.5mm arms, a lower q-factor, and cost about half the price. Also, as Jeremy pointed out, I love it when a plan comes together BL in EC On Saturday, March 18, 2017 at 12:59:12 PM UTC-7, Carla Waugh wrote: > > Bill what type of surfaced have you ridden and what tires are you using? > Would you describe how the Rosco feels when you are riding it?
