Piaw, thanks for the comments and pictures! Looks like you're having loads of fun. I would likely be running downtube shifters and a 2x with a long cage derailieur to get my low gears. You must be running, what, an 11x50? I'm sorry for the redundant question if it's listed on the website, bu

Max tire width according to Rivendell is 42mm. I don't like to push it that close, so I think in practice I won't run anything more than 38mm actual width. I have no TCO on the Roadini. The TCO exists on my custom touring bike, which has a geometry copied from the 1993 Bridgestone RB-1 with a longe
