I think at this point the Rivendell design tenets have such a strong
gravitational pull that many of the models have more similarities than
differences. I see the Roadini more as a sportier, tigged version of the

Just to be clear about what I wrote, I don't consider the fact that some
Riv models have overlapping designs to be a drawback. Not at all. But it
can pose challenges in terms of marketing.

Hi Roberta! Stop at the visitor center first to grab your day permit and then
head to the ride start (Minnewaska). Be sure to get there by 10am so you’re
sure to get a parking spot.

Mark, I would be inclined to agree that the ebike has a lot in common with a
scooter, moped, et. Al., and riding one initially will only encourage that
notion, but prolonged exposure reinforces it's bicycleness.
My take on the whole thing now with 800 miles on mine is that (for me anyway)
it's
I am going to get on site early Saturday am, I will try to park in the
Lower Awosting Parking lot and ride to the top, but if you want you can
park up in the lot by the lake (up on top), if that is full, the other
lot that is good would be the Lower Awosting Parking lot (west of the
main entrance
What an ebike is depends massively on which one you're riding and what it's
for. My current ride is a RANS Crank Forward with a Copenhagen Wheel which is
shortly to be transferred to a Riv A/R. This is pedal assist only - no throttle
- and freewheels well enough to be run some miles at 0 assist,
No, and Superpedestrian is going to get run out of the market if they don't
expand their options soon. They need 650B/27.5, and all sizes need a disc mount
option.

Spencer, since there are so many parking lot optionscan you drop a pin

I have a carved C-17 allweather and it's a pretty stiff saddle to me, not sure
if foam would really have any positive benefits? Maybe if you are much heavier

Joe, I think what you are talking about is Apple's vs. Oranges in the Ebike
sphere. I guess technically it's still an Ebike, but it's different at the same
time. Which kinda goes back to what I said about regular bikes and Ebikes
diverging.
The "Ebike" is evolving so fast and the bikes and their
"...were "wow, everyone should have one of these " and "hmmm. . . I wish I was
riding a real bike" it's the sort of contradiction that only a dedicated
cyclist would think of."
Yep, I have both. I did a nice loop on the RANS/Copenhagen Tuesday, then a
shorter shop-and-ride on my Bike Friday yes
Yes, I think insta-ready all-road bikes have been *en vogue* for several
years, and a 28mm-tired bike called "Roadini" isn't that, even if
UltraRomance rides one.

Hi Mat,
Funny, I didn't notice you had expressed the cut in a ratio, I just
read your meaning and knew what you were talking about. Thanks for sharing
your experience with layering Newbaum's and shellac penetration, that's a

It's like a form of anticipation, but as an adult, you can't hold that
