Gotcha... But, if you're selling this hypothetical "650b Roadeo", then I think that would be part of the description up-front, eh?? On Friday, March 14, 2014 9:34:02 AM UTC-4, stevef wrote: > > No, not talking a conversion, talking a bike with the Roadeo's geometry > and light tubes, built ar

No, not talking a conversion, talking a bike with the Roadeo's geometry and light tubes, built around my favorite wheel/tire size... Custom would probably be the only way to get it... On Wed, Mar 12, 2014 at 6:27 PM, Joe Bernard wrote: > I believe it's technically feasible..you should be able

It would make a pretty neat custom. I will say my Roadeo is pretty awesome...very smooth and nimble, feels faster than my Sam but a lot of that has to do with the way I set it up. It is a good club riding bike. On Tuesday, March 11, 2014 2:54:11 PM UTC-5, stevef wrote: > I'm starting to think

I believe it's technically feasible..you should be able to find center-pull brakes with enough reach to get the pads down to a 650B rim. But I suspect one ride on a 700c Roadeo would disabuse you of any notion that you need this option. Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA. On Tuesday, March 11, 2014 12:

I didn't really think I could get a Roadeo done this way but it would be a cool bike. Yeah, maybe a custom down the road... Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails fr

You can still make it happen. A custom Riv that has the geometry of a 650B Hilsen, the tubing of a Roadeo, with cantilever brakes would be SICK Well worth pursuing as a custom. On Wednesday, March 12, 2014 11:39:03 AM UTC-7, Bill wrote: > > (Sigh) ... Another dream bike that will never h

The short answer is no. The made to order models are already designed. You'd be ordering that design The Roadeo, Atlantis and Hilsen are made to order to the extent that when you pay money, they order it, and then it gets made. There are no custom options, certainly not wheelsize. If you ro
