Very nice bike, Chris. I love the color. You will love the Paul's breaks, easy set up, great control. I liked them so much on my tandem that I bought a set for my Rambouillet. Two questions. I see that the front fender stay is nearly horizontal. I installed the same fluted Honjos on my Ram that way and got considerable TCO. I moved the stay down a couple of inches and solved about 90% of that. What's your experience with TCO on the fendered Rodeo? Also, what's the crank & ring set up?
For a while I made all my bikes a black free zone, then a Shimano free zone (after quite a few negative experiences) but now I take a more judicious approach. I love my White cranks, black and all; and I have to say my new Ultegra RD 6700 is the best shifting derailler I have used in 30+ years of riding. Anyway, enjoy the ride. I love my Ram as much today as I did when I bought it - six or seven years ago. Wish the same for you. michael On Jan 25, 7:05 pm, "XO-1.org Rough Riders" <adventureco...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks to Sky, Tom, Anthony, and the rest of the Velo Cult team for > their amazing service as San Diego County's premier bike shop which > caters to everybody except the mainstream - which means we fit right > in!
