Thank you Eamon, Patrick and RichS, I feel very fortunate to own it! RichS, I have three bikes set up with Mustache bars, so I clearly fall into the love 'em bucket, something about the different hand positions work for me compared to drops. I'll post a pic when I make the conversion. Waiting o

Re: [RBW] Re: New to me Roadeo

Well the Roadeo does have room for fenders and has eyelets for them, so I probably will. I did this ride two years ago and completed just before it down poured. I was lucky. JohnS On Sunday, July 22, 2018 at 5:16:58 PM UTC-4, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > > > On 07/22/2018 05:04 PM, John Hawrylak

They're the new Stampede Pass. I only have about 500 miles on them, but the rear shows very little wear. Awesome tires. On Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at 6:53:40 PM UTC-8, Paul Y wrote: > > Don, > > Are 32c ultra lights the Stampede Pass extra light or another tire ? > The bike currently has Stamp

[RBW] Re: New (to-me) Roadeo!

I love the Sam on off roady tires and had 40c marathon extremes on it for a long time, taking it out on many trails in Chiang Mai with those tires... however I also managed to break the HT/TT lug joint doing so! Later on I got a Soulcraft Option 3 (pic ) and riding trai

[RBW] Re: New (to-me) Roadeo!

Don, Are 32c ultra lights the Stampede Pass extra light or another tire ? The bike currently has Stampede Pass (standard weight), which are just lovely. I will no doubt be using them for a while before needing to get a new pair. On Monday, January 9, 2017 at 11:18:15 AM UTC+8, Don Compton wrot

[RBW] Re: New (to-me) Roadeo!

Thanks for the write up, Paul. It confirmed my suspicions re: a Roadeo/Hillborne comparison. While I love my Hillborne, the dream is to own a Roadeo and a 650b Hunq or Jones for true range. Congrats on the new ride. The Hillborne is a lot fun if you put 45c Smart Sams on it. Might get it of

Re: [RBW] Re: New (to-me) Roadeo!

If my stable were limited to a Roadeo and a Sam Hillborne, I'd happily keep and ride both. Set up the Roadeo as a gofast only bike, and keep the Sam as a loaded commuter/errand bike with tires fat enough for at least firm dirt and gravel. (How fat a tire will your Sam take, anyway?) Puhleeze! Don'

[RBW] Re: New (to-me) Roadeo!

I can attest to the lovely ride of Compass 32mm extra-lights; I have them on my Riv road and they're excellent tiresbut probably not the best choice for commuting. In 2016 I also tried the McClure Pass tires...26.. X 1.5. They look similar to Paselas ; they are lighter and more supple , but

[RBW] Re: New (to-me) Roadeo!

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

[RBW] Re: New (to-me) Roadeo!

Thanks for all your comments. I am indeed loving this bike even more after a few days of commuting on it and a couple of recreational rides, I don't feel the need to have both this and the Hillborne in the stable, so I will probably put the Hillborne frame up on the wall and appreciate that I ha

Re: [RBW] Re: New (to-me) Roadeo!

Paul, you'll enjoy the Roadeo. It's just a lovely bike, light and comfortable as can be. I have a 61 in that same grey/burgundy color scheme, and it's one of my favorite bikes - I drag it all over the place: here in Sonoma County: https://www.flickr.com/photos/41563482@N06/albums/7215762537

Nice Roadeo Surely you're not ditching the Sam? But sounds like you may be... I get that you are using the Roadeo as a brevet bikeso fenders, lighting and luggage carrying ability is important...I'd still keep Sam for commuting though, then you would have the best of both worlds On Monday,

Re: [RBW] Re: New (to-me) Roadeo!

Congrats on the new bike! I am also looking for a lighter snappier bike like a Rodeo or Boulder bike. If I got a rodeo I would ask them to put on rack hanger barrels on the fork though. They allow the option now I think. But that's buying new. Last July I traded my Sam frame for a Rambouillet
