[RBW] New Roadeo!

So much for downsizing... I have been sick about selling off my simpleone, as I really craved a more lighweight single speed...when the 55cm roadeo went up for sale on the Rivendell site I scanned my parts bin and realized I could fufill my need a lighwieght 4speed bike without the expense of a

[RBW] New Roadeo!

Hi- Here's a link to some hastily taken pictures of my new 59 cm Roadeo that arrived on Christmas Eve. The build was done by my LBS, Vecchios, in Boulder, CO. Yes, it still has the skinny tires from my Ti bike that was the source of the parts. I will install some 32 mm Paselas while I'm wai

[RBW] New Roadeo

Hi all- Long time lurker. I came upon Rivendell’s bikes (and Grant’s writings) about two years ago and have wanted one ever since. After selling two of my existing bikes, I took the plunge and ordered the demo 61” Roadeo (pre-beausaged!) that was for sale on the Riv website. This weekend,

That bike is the business. Love it with the Rene Herse tires and crank. Only thing I’d add if it was mine is a dynohub. I can’t afford any bike right now, but that’s a good price for a Mark Nobilette made bike. Eamon Seattle -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Googl

Re: [RBW] new Roadeo

Beautiful, Forrest. Classic Rivendell with that look that suggests the 10 speeds I remember from the 70s. All modern parts and tires with a beautiful frame and none of the useless trendy stuff they slap on to try to sell more bikes. Very nice. Looks fast. Ride and enjoy. -jb On Sat, Apr 21,

Re: [RBW] New Roadeo!

Neat! Before reading the text entirely I was puzzling about that bell on the right side -- howtheheck? etc. Me, I'd run a 1xN and put the bell on the left. Or, I'd find a rod-actualed fd for the ultimate in style and oddity. How do you like the ride? How does it compare with the erstwhile SimpleOn

Re: [RBW] New Roadeo!

Nice to see a Campy-fied RBW bike, Doug :^) I built my Joe Starck Road Standard up about 10 years ago with a mix of interesting stuff, but mostly Campy. For whatever reason, I don't see many with Campy. Did you use Tektro calipers? Happy New Year, Doug On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 9:30 AM, J. Doug

Re: [RBW] New Roadeo!

Doug- Yep, I used the Riv recommended Tektro "Big Mouth" calipers. Hopefully, I won't be missing my good old Campy, short-reach, dual pivot calipers. I'll let everyone know how the Tektros work out. Doug On 12/30/09 9:57 AM, Doug Van Cleve wrote: > Nice to see a Campy-fied RBW bike, Doug :^)

Re: [RBW] New Roadeo!

Funny how initially I was repelled by the long necks of the threaded stems, and now the rising stem looks upsetting... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and when you close your eyes you either smile blissfully or frown in agony from your sore neck and shoulders... :-D Lovely bike!!! René On

[RBW] new Roadeo photos

Check the site for photos of 2 new Roadeos. The orange is really eye catching (the wheels aren't my style but...) while the black one is positively elegant. If I'm reading it right, the black one has Schwalbe Kojak tires - they look perfect on this bike, but I couldn't guess at the size. dougP

Re: [RBW] New Roadeo

Gorgeous bike, Eric. Congratulations! With your love of narrow bars, I think drops could work for you -- if you get them in the correct position for your body. Have you tried drop bars up high? A Tallux stem would allow you to place the tops above the saddle. And the higher you go, the closer

Re: [RBW] New Roadeo

I'd recommend the same. The bike looks very good, but IMO it deserves a slightly more "sporty" bar. And welcome out of the closet. I'll be interested in your opinions about the Roadeo's ride qualities. It's one of the several Riv models I wouldn't mind owning. On Wed, Apr 27, 2016 at 10:12 AM, ia

Re: [RBW] New Roadeo

Another word of congratulations on your beautiful bike! I have the Nitto Jitensha bars on a 1990 Bottecchia steel road bike that I "converted" to upright. Love the ride and the looks. Also have a VO Postino bar on a 1986 Pinarello Montello which is close in shape but not quite as high qualit

Re: [RBW] New Roadeo pics

Lucky you. I want one. Someday ... Tell us how it rides. 1X9 drivetrain, say 48X say 14-15-16-17-18-19-21-23-28 -- wish it fit dt shifters. Light, ~ 25 mm tires -- the bigger diameter (I am used to 559 or 571 road wheels) will make the wheels roll like 559X30s. Look Keos or Dura Aces. Nitto 44 cm
