Subject: [RBW] Rodeo re-do

A little background, at 54 years young my brevet days are good memories. I love 
the Noodle drop bars but in the last few years have been riding the Albatrossed 
SimpleOne more and more for the upright comfort.

Ever since the Albastache bar was introduced I could not stop thinking about 
how these would be on the Rodeo. Made the switch a couple weeks ago.
The comfort level is through the roof fantastic. The more upright position 
feels totally natural. 

Also put the longboards on and took off the big ring(never used it) and added 
the chain guard.
And I obviously am not too concerned with fender lines :) The bag is a 
Carradice Barley. I plan on adding a front rack at some point with another bag 
or basket.

RE: [RBW] Re: Roadeo first ride impressions

[Paul Gong]

Thank you, Tony!

I have long arms (and legs for that matter) and the reach to the hypothetical 
downtube shifters is natural for me when riding on the hoods. 

As far as the stem is concerned, it is a Nitto Deluxe with a 110cm extension.  

Based on what I know about the San Marcos, the Roadeo has slightly more 
emphasis on light weight, shorter chain stays and a slightly steeper head tube 
which would make the handling a tad sharper. On the other hand, the San Marcos 
is more flexible with its rack eyelets and is a LOT less expensive! :-)

Regards,
Paul

Beautiful bike, Paul.  A few years ago, I thought that a Soma San Marcos would 
give be enough of a Riv fix to get me by for a while.  Since I bought the 
Atlantis last Summer, I have been tempted to see what the other end of the Riv 
spectrum is like.  At 6', 170 lbs, and 89 PBH, it is nice to know that the 61 
is the way to go (my Atlantis is also a 61).


How is the reach to the down-tube bosses and what is the length of the stem 
that you are using?   I have talked to cyclist that have ridden both the San 
Marcos and the Rambouillet, but I have never heard of a comparison between the 
San Marcos and the Rodeo.
