Great looking bike! From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Trevor saxton Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 2:14 PM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: [RBW] New Roadeo!
So much for downsizing... I have been sick about selling off my simpleone, as I really craved a more lighweight single speed...when the 55cm roadeo went up for sale on the Rivendell site I scanned my parts bin and realized I could fufill my need a lighwieght 4speed bike without the expense of a custom....I jumped on it and just finished the build yesterday...behold my 4speed Roadeo! White Industries Crank (42/26) with vintage front deraileur mated to a Paul Melvin Chain Tensioner and a White Industries DOS freewheel....actually its more a 2spd bike as its a bit of work to respace the chain tensioner to align with the second cog. Took it out for a 15mile cruise ride is exactly what I had hoped for, quick and fast and nimble while still being stable... I am debating keeping this setup for a charity ride in early June, (200km over 2 days) downshifting makes quick work of short steep climbs, but not sure if I could grind out a long steep climb in the low gear...so may swap out the rear wheel and go with a conventional set up for that ride http://www.flickr.com/photos/78462625@N07/8723017733/in/photostream -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
