I own a 59cm Roadeo and it is indeed a terrific road bike. On behalf of your potential customers, I guess I have a question. The Roadeo is clearly a straight ahead conventional and contemporary road frameset. As such it is built from the factory with 130mm spacing, to take any normal road wheelset. Your build list indicates you are running Deore XT hubs, which by definition are 135mm. Can you clear up that apparent mismatch? Was the frameset spread out by you or a previous owner from 130 to 135mm? Was the rear hub respaced to 130mm by the shop that built the wheelset? Or are you just squeezing it in there and it seems to work? Lots of other Rivendells are 135mm in back, like the Atlantis, A Homer Hilsen and Hillborne, among others. Some historical Rivendells were deliberately made with 132.5mm spacing so they'd take either/or. The Romulus was one of those. Perhaps your buyer would like to hear the story there.
