Will,
I also find the Rodeo tempting. However if you want 38mm and larger tires
with fenders it's not going to have large enough clearances for you. Even
an AHH may be too tight for you, I find ~40mm (Soma GR) with fenders to be
as far as I can go on mine.

Toshi,
You and I have just illustrated the virtue of Grant's designs. The Roadeo
can work for many.

I use Grand Bois Cypress 700x30 tires on mine--the skinniest tires of any
bike I own. The comments I get on some rides are, "Wow, that dude is
riding on like cyclocross tires or something."
My motto is as the hill gets steeper go to a lower gear, so I have a

My Barlows have stretched out to 38mm (rated) in the rear, and barely 36mm
in front. They get smoother and faster as they stretch and relax. .

Will,
I compromise a little on the Riv theme. On my Roadeo, I have a Shimano
Ultegra 11sp setup with a compact crankset. With my 12-29 Campy cassette, I
have finally found the combo that allows me to ride on any rides ( any ride
that I want to ride ). Tires, however, I stick with the Riv theme.
This is so true. I test rode a 7 Ti with all the high end stuff (fancy
brifters, and so on), because I was looking to buy my Last Bike.
It was way less fun than my Atlantis with the old school drive train.
I'd love to ride a Roadeo. I want 36 spoke wheels. I want fenders. I want
38mm tires (a
Has anyone mounted these tires? These seem to be dream tires for my
Hillborne, but I've not yet had a pair of Compass tires, and so I'd like
some clarification as to fit. I've read that they may grow 2-3mm after
settling in?
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

The front derailleur on my girlfriend's Soma San Marcos broke, so I need a
replacement.
She is using Shimano STI shifters and a 50/39/30 triple, so the
triple-specific Shimano FDs work best. 8 speed currently, so an 8 or 9
speed version is preferred.
Please let me know what you have.

A few people have set up their Cheviut with centerpulls. You have to be a
little creative on the cable routing setup, but it can been done. Use the

Take a 4" section of wood; 2 X 4 is good.

I would think that a strong, durable hardwood would be superior to plywood.
White oak or something similar. Personally I would use bolts countersunk in
white oak over top of thin gripsters or something similar. Even better if the
profile of the pedals matches the shape of the pedal so that there
Would centerpulls work on this? Seems like it'd be impossible in the rear

The product you linked to is for using presta tubes in rims that are
