[RBW] Re: Roadini vs Homer

Get it, Validate it as your bike to lock up outside the cafe. I'd never 
want to lock up a Homer, too pretty!

Ah, Patrick, you're the voice of reason.  Thanks for that.  As for the rest
of you enablers, thanks for that, too.  :)

Thanks, Ed, for the reminder of the Roadini vs Sam thread.  I'll look it up
and get that angle.  And, I'll start another thread for a more general +1
discussion.

[RBW] Re: Roadini vs Homer

[Ed Carolipio]

I have a Roadini set up as a "roadie" (no fenders or rack, and just a small 
saddlesack for stuff) and I weigh 215 lbs. Sadly, not a Homer owner (yet) 
but I do have an Appaloosa and lots of folks weighed in on a Roadini vs Sam 
discussion recently.

Based on that, the "stripped down" part of your question is probably more 
important than the "Roadini vs Homer" part. It'll be hard to tell the 
difference between a stripped down Roadini and a stripped down Homer, or at 
least for most situations we will see, but having a second bike set up that 
way saves you the trouble of swapping stuff around on the single bike to 
get the different ride characteristics. As for rider weight, the Roadini 
doesn't seem bothered with my ... err ... bulk.

Great excuse, but mininimal practicable difference for a non-racer is my guess 
based on experience with my similar yet wider apart hunqa v QB. If you need an 
excuse, you have it! Grin.

With abandon,

[Brian Campbell]

I think the lighter bike feels different enough to warrant having it. I 
bought a used Riv Custom off the this list as a partner to my fendered and 
dyno equipped Homer. There is a bout a 7lb difference between them, so not 
really a huge difference but the Custom gives a different feel when riding 
and I notice it most when climbing hills. More lively. Not scientific but 
variety keeps riding interesting.
