Re: [RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

In sizes larger than 57cm, the tubing for Roadeo isn't much different than their other previous road-going designs and is similar to the Ram and AHH. It's the size 57 and below that gets the light 7/4/7 tubing...at least for the original Waterford-built renditions. Based on that, my guess is

Re: [RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

A 63cm Roadeo remains the one Rivendell that I've always wanted but never owned. My current daily driver is a 64cm Quickbeam which based on the geometry would seem to give me a taste of Roadeo handling in a slightly more stout package. I'm really enjoying seeing Austin and Matt's 63cm builds,

Re: [RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

@Drew. My PBH is right under 85, which puts me squarely in the 57cm frame range according to this chart . But I decided to compare the overall frame measurements to those of the best-fitting bikes that I've previously

Re: [RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

@Tim... I also have a 93 pbh with a 84cm saddle height. I decided that the 63cm Roadeo was just not large enough. I do not like elongated stems (vertical or horizontal). I got the 2018 Roadini instead. It fits perfectly. My only gripe with the Roadini is that it is too stiff for my kind of

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

Drew Henson asked: "does pbh still provide the best guidance for sizing a roadeo?" As with most things: it depends. If by "best" you mean "quickest easiest way to make a best guess for a rider who doesn't have a solid idea how they want to fit on a bike", then YES, it's still the best way.

does pbh still provide the best guidance for sizing a roadeo? two posters in this thread think they should have gone a size up. my pbh is ~87cm. i have a MIT 58 CM AHH. That bike is perfectly sized for swept back bars but I found it to be a tad too long when i used drop bars. for my pbh, in

Dear Tim et al: Here is a Flickr gallery of my Roadeo. It's a 61, I sort of think I should have gone with a 63 - but the bike rides great and looks terrific. https://www.flickr.com/photos/41563482@N06/albums/72157719068508932 Max Beach Santa Rosa CA On Monday, September 20, 2021 at 8:22:19 AM

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

Tim, I measured the head tube at approx 21.1 cm from top to bottom. You asked about ride compared to Sam Hillborne. I rode a Sam until about 2012ish, so been awhile and feel of the Sam has faded a little. In my opinion, the Roadeo has the standard balanced feel of a Rivendell. It does

Tim, try bikeinsights.com. You should be able to compare your Sam to a 63cm Roadeo. On Tuesday, September 21, 2021 at 1:59:24 PM UTC-4 Tim Bantham wrote: > Thank you all for sharing and commenting about your Roadeo's. This gives > me something to go on as I contemplate one for myself. > > To

Thank you all for sharing and commenting about your Roadeo's. This gives me something to go on as I contemplate one for myself. To those of you with a 63cm Roadeo (Matt and Austin) can you let me know the HT length along with your saddle height as pictured in the photos you shared? I'm trying

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

@Tim, sure am excited! Don't want to think about the wait being even longer, but it is what it is. To current owners: What tubing does a Nobilette-built Roadeo use? I was thinking 853? On Monday, September 20, 2021 at 6:50:14 PM UTC-7 peterso...@gmail.com wrote: > Just before my 1000k ride

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

My Roadeo is of a similar setup as Bill's--threadless setup, modern components, 35mm RH Bon Jon tires. For me it's exactly what I want--fast, comfortable, and I don't wince at rough chip seal roads. I did try mounting the Barlows on the Roadeo but it was a no-go. Before my Roadeo, I picked up

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

To John G, if it were a 62 cm Roadeo (I know, they don't come off the peg in that size) I would still have the Roadeo and John may still have the Atlantis. Mike "Rivendell-ess" in SLO CA On Monday, September 20, 2021 at 5:13:09 PM UTC-7 Tim Bantham wrote: > @Doug H I have the same question

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

My Roadeo is pretty close to what mainstream roadies would call a retro-leaning regular ass road bike: a nice 18.5 pound road bike with 32s. It's a 2x10 with barcon shifters. At its most stripped down my Hillborne may have been a 23 pound bike, and today it's probably more like 26 pounds.

@Doug H I have the same question about the fork. How did you decide between the two? My saddle height is 84.5 cm with a PBH of 93. My bars are 1.5 cm's below the saddle. On my Sam the 6 degree top tube slope creates a bit more stack height. In comparison the Roadeo has a 2 degree slope. This is

John, You've got two great bikes with the QB and Roadeo. Both are high on my list to own. I mostly agree with your comments about taking the versatility of a Rivendell to far. I have an Appaloosa and a Sam. I had a Clem H and quickly sold it. The Clem was one I regretted and wished I hadn't

I ended up placing a deposit for the Roadeo instead of waiting for a Roadini. 10 month wait. I plan to put Ultegra on it like what's shown above. On Monday, September 20, 2021 at 3:46:17 PM UTC-7 John G. wrote: > I've owned a Hunqapillar and an Atlantis. I currently own a Quickbeam and > a

I've owned a Hunqapillar and an Atlantis. I currently own a Quickbeam and a Roadeo. I sold the Hunq to buy the Atlantis, then I traded the Atlantis for the Roadeo. First thing I'll say: Rivendells are incredibly versatile, but you shouldn't try to turn a particular Riv into something it is

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

Thanks Matt and John, Both bikes are examples of how they can be built with modern parts and still maintain the beautiful look of a lugged steel Rivendell. Do either of you own other RIVs? If so, how does the ride compare? Matt, your bike is my size. Can you tell me how long the head tube
