I got the same frame and it rides great. I think the BB could be 5mm lower, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find a production frame that's got a 80mm BB drop anyway. The bike handle greats on pavement and even better off pavement --- I've ridden it with 25mm tires, 30mm tires (which measur

I have the 2020 Roadini in 54cm. I would describe the ride quality as "fabulous." By comparison, I also have a Black Mountain Cycles Monster Cross that I set up for randonneuring. In most situations, I would say the bikes are quite similar, even allowing for the fact that the BMC is shod in 44

I looked up the BMC Cross geometry and it has a higher BB and with bigger tires would ride even taller, which would lead to the feeling of instability at speed. I've never understood why gravel bikes that aren't going to jump logs are designed with such high BBs. It seems to me that the bigger

I just picked up a late 2000's Toyo Atlantis and I've ridden some of the longer chainstay more modern Rivendell frames. The biggest difference I think would be the chainstays for sure. The ride quality will be in my opinion vastly different, as the older Riv's had shorter (still longer for the

These are lightly used. I don't think Swift makes canvas panniers anymore. You can see from the photos that there's a black spot on the inward-facing side of both panniers where the hook rests against the pannier. I'm not sure how to avoid that. But other than that blemish, there is very little
