[RBW] FS: 55cm Roadeo, F/F/HS

[sjauch]

Hi,
 
Selling my Roadeo which is about 2 years old. Some paint chips around the 
rear dropouts and a small chip in the top tube that's been touched up but 
still visible.
 
I'd like to get $1350 shipped. This is for the Frameset, Cane Creek Classic 
100 headset and if you need the 9cm stem & steerer shim. 
 
There are photos here: 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ironsightimages/sets/72157623465484739/
 
If you have any questions or would like any more photos please let me know.

Thanks.

[RBW] Re: New Thoughts on Saddle Height?

[sjauch]

Saddle height is very person specific. I went with Riv method of PBH
minus 10 for a saddle height of 72cm. Earlier this year I developed
knee pain that prevented me from riding for 2 months. I went to a
fitter who raised my saddle by 1.5cm and it has made a world of
difference. This was in addition to adjusting the cleats on my shoes.

It can't hurt to play around. The fitter had my bike hooked up to some
fancy trainer that measured watt output and noticed an increase with
the changed made. It was a pretty interesting experience.

Roadeo and you can get it painted any color you want for no extra

[RBW] Speaking of Roadeo's, I'm loving mine.

[sjauch]

I'm digging my new ride, a 55cm Roadeo, so I just wanted to show off a
little. I've uploaded some photos to the Flickr groups, but incase
some of you haven't checked there lately, here it is:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ironsightimages

In January I visited the Riv. shop and test rode Mark's 55. At the
time I was thinking the 53cm would be the right size but after talking
to Jay and Mark I went with the 55cm and am happy I did. This is the
largest bike I own so was nervous that it was going to be too big. Now
that I'm riding it though the sizing makes sense and am glad I didn't
go smaller. I'm 5'7 with 81cm PBH, 71cm seat height. Currently using
30mm of spacers and stem is zero degree. I originally had it flipped
for a positive angle, but am a bit more comfortable with some drop.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to get out and do a real ride and
have only commuted on it. Have about 100mi on it now.

I decided to go with the standard white/blue color. I was really
excited by the option to choose a paint color for no additional cost,
but in the end couldn't decide on any one color and really liked the
clean look of the white with blue. The only thing I wish I did get was
d/t shifter bosses.

I had been looking for a new road bike for about a year. I wanted
something more comfortable than what I currently have, a '05
Specialized Allez Comp. I had considered the custom route for a frame
but couldn't make up my mind. When I saw the Roadeo released it really
interested me as it was the exact kind of frame I was considering
having made. Being able to go to Riv and check out the bike and take
it for a spin is what sealed the deal for me instead of going the
custom route. I intend to use this bike for regular weekend road
riding and am going to try the Randonneur thing this year, first 200k
is coming up April 10th.

[RBW] Re: Best Riv for Centuries, Charity Rides, Supported Touring

[sjauch]

Roadeo does sound like it would fit the bill. A larger saddle bag like
the Kevins Bag stated above or maybe even the Mark's Rack with the
Small Trunksack. You can fit a lot in there.

[RBW] Re: Schwalbe Kojak vs Jack Brown

[sjauch]

I asked Mark about which tire he prefers when I ordered my Roadeo,
here is his reply:

"I like both tires but if I had to pick just one, I would go with the
Kojaks.  They cost more, but will last longer and are a bit tougher
than the JB Greens at about the same weight."

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Roadeo or Other

[sjauch]

Thanks all for the for the input, keep it coming. I am leaning towards
the Roadeo (digging the white & blue) and will see what the Riv crew
says when I pay them a visit. I've visited them before and appreciate
their honesty.

Jim: Grant's knowledge and experience is another comforting factor as
well as buying from an established business.

[RBW] Rivendell Roadeo or Other

[sjauch]

I currently have a 2005 Specialized Allez Comp. It was my first road
bike and it is about a size too big and only recently got comfortable
riding it once I put an 80mm stem on it.

Anyway I have been looking for a new road bike and want to go with a
steel frame, preferably lugged. I have been eyeing the Rivendell
Roadeo, as well as the De Rosa Corum (not lugged) and custom builders,
Jeff Lyon and Circle A Cycles. I am very close to sending in a deposit
to Jeff Lyon because of his experience with building the type of
frames I'm interested in. However, I have resisted because I am drawn
to the Rivendell Roadeo since it is similar to what I would like Jeff
Lyon to build me. Also I am out in CA two or three times a year and
stay pretty close to where Rivendell is located. So, I can visit them
and test ride a similar frame to what I would be buying. They have 2
55cm's built up and I'm a 52 or 53, so even though It's not my size I
can hopefully still get an idea of how it rides.

I also really like the De Rosa, but none of the shops I called keep
them in stock and if I am going to buy it locally I'd like to be able
to take it out for a spin to see how things feel. If I'm dropping over
2k for that frame I might as well send my $ off to Lyon and let him
build me something since I couldn't test ride that either and is
probably more what I want.

That brings me back to the Rivendell and Lyon dilemma. I want a lugged
frame that is as light as practical and can fit fenders if I want to
use them. I like the Lyon option because for about the same as the
Rivendell I am getting something made just for me. However he is
relying on the measurements and info I provide to make the correct
frame. With the Riv bike I can visit them and let them take my
measurements to determine which size Roadeo is the best fit.

So I am really confused and am asking here to see which way some of
you would go.

Thanks!
