Paul, Great writeup. I have had a ton of bikes in all shapes and sizes. At 65yo, I am no longer looking for that magical bike, I have found it in the Roadeo. By the way, have you consider Compass 32c ultra lights? They're expensive, but they really fit a Roadeo's ride. Just a thought. Don Compton

Paul -- Yes, I am barefoot. I have constant neurological vertigo and riding barefoot, or at least with maximum pedal feel (equivalent to ground feel in walking or running) makes it so proprioception tells my body where I am in space, allowing me to ride (and walk and run). If I were to try ridin

John, You've gotten good advice so far. I'll reiterate the observation that the GDR is 99% dirt road riding. I'd make my selection of handlebar based on comfort for long hours, days and weeks in the saddle, and not the ability to sustain "big hits on singletrack". I've ridden chunks of the ro

I have bullmoose on my Bombadil. They are sturdy bars that don't flex like an albatross on rough terrain, which is why I like them. I've never been a fan of albatross. They sweep back too far for my taste, especially for rougher riding. But if the shape works for you and you want something less

Depending on how high you want your bars, the choco-moose might be just the ticket. They're more aggressive than the bosco-moose while holding on to the bonus of never having to second guess your handlebar angle. I've ridden both and own both, but I've set aside the bosco-moose for a future of e
