The down tube graphics are exceptional. I agree the purple "1" on the silver pops. I'm hooked on the Saint Jump stickers. I bought two different R05C0 8U883 bikes because of the rocket headbadge. The Rosco Bubbe Road that I owned is available from CMR right now, and I endorse it. I half

Re: [RBW] Re: Roaduno - Are you buying one?

Question to the group; anyone ever bought a bike solely for the downtube graphics? Riv nailed it with this Roaduno at least in my book. I do particularly like it on the silver but all three look good to me.Sent from my iPhoneOn Jun 26, 2024, at 5:50 PM, Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA wrote:And I a

I took the 3x1 inspiration to do a 3x1 Rivendell build on a Romulus. I rode that bike up Mount Diablo this month and it's becoming a favorite bike in my large stable. Here's a photo of the bike at the summit: https://flickr.com/photos/45758191@N04/53778626719/in/album-72177720313832831/ I feel

" I like the idea of a front shifted 2x1 or 3x1 setup. If planning on such a setup I'd probably just get a Homer vs the Roaduno because I always end up wanting fenders on a bike like this and vertical dropouts make fenders so much easier. But I do see that the Roaduno with its 120mm rear spacing
