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

Does anyone know if the Roaduno (completes) have a plastic cable guide installed under the bottom bracket? On Sunday, June 30, 2024 at 12:56:22 PM UTC-4 Bill Lindsay wrote: > The risk is pedal strike. The RoadUno has a low BB height. Riding fixed > forces the rider to pedal through corners,

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

The risk is pedal strike. The RoadUno has a low BB height. Riding fixed forces the rider to pedal through corners, so the risk of pedal strike is real. A optiomized fixed city bike might have a higher BB. If you know how to steer at speed without leaning, you can mitigate that risk. Go for

The OP anticipated a buying frenzy, but that clearly hasn't happened in week 1 of the pre-sale. I hope that turns out to be a good thing, and gives people the chance to really think about it and decide calmly rather than panic-buying with a huge fear of missing out. Now that the real

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

It's clear lots of people wanted a single speed Appaloosa or a single speed Hunqapillar. It's natural for those people to be sad that Rivendell offered a single speed A. Homer Hilsen instead. Those who wanted a single speed A Homer Hilsen are presumably pleased. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA

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

I agree on this. I love single speeds, and the 3x1 flexibility looks fun, and the 61.5m profile looks just right for me, but those long reach brakes are a deal breaker for me. I've built bikes with them in the past, and their stopping power in the wet is inadequate for me. Maybe the Riv guys never

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

I wonder how many they ordered of each iteration - with three colors and 5 sizes of frames and five sizes of completes, that could be up to something like 150 bikes (frames and completes) if they got 5 of each iteration listed, or 300 if they got 10. Or something in between if they mixed and

One 54.5 in Ana Purple complete ordered. I decided that I like the high flange hubs on the wheelset and the new crankset so I ordered a complete instead of a frameset. Laing Delray Beach FL On Sunday, June 23, 2024 at 4:59:43 PM UTC-4 Doug H. wrote: > The Roaduno sale begins Thursday June
