I will write something up when I finally get the Roadeo built up. I've had a few other bike projects to do for our kid and his friend first, but once I get the cash for some wheels I should be good to go. I don't think I can do 10 bikes for me, but in my family I think I could now that I have had a chance to ponder it. Here is what I would do. 1 - full on touring bike: Rivendell Atlantis with the stock Noodle build with added front and rear racks and fenders. 2. - Roadeo go fast with light wheels and a modern groupset. New Dura Ace would be cool. Mark bars and I would keep it quill stem just because it is sexier. 3. - Wife's road bike which is now a Mustached bar Nishiki International but I would think about Soma San Marcos for her. 4. - Kid's road bike which is now a Cannondale Synapse w/ Tiagra 5. - Wife's mup bike which would be a Betty Foy with basic Albatross build 6. - Mountain bike for me. I would really dig a Bombadil w/ Nitto Bullmoose bars or a Rivendell custom mountain mixte. Either way it would be totally cool. 7. - Kid's mountain bike. Something modern from Trek. Hardtail w/ front shock fork, probably 29er. 8. - Yvez Gomez for me. Albatross bars and set up for commuting with a front basket and rear foldable double basket. 9. - My Sam Hillborne. Noodles, barend silver shifters, 650b dyad laced to phil rivy 7 speed freewheel, Pari Moto or Hetres. Handlebar bag and small saddlebag. 10. - Modern fast carbon road bike like the Trek Domane. I rode one and really liked it. I would be cool to have one and compare it to the Roadeo.
