I went with the Dyad 36 hole rim and Phil "Rivy" freewheel hub when I had
wheels built for my Hillborne. Rich built them and they have been nothing
short of incredible, haven't been out of true yet and I rode probably at
least 5000 miles on them this year. My vote goes for the dyad laced to a

I agree with you John, I totally dig the name.
I can't say I am in a market for this type of bike being that I need
something for club road riding more than anything else right now. I do like
the stays in the rear, they do give it a unique and pretty cool look. Dig
the color.

I am in the same boat since I didn't win the custom. This is the reason
that I bought a gift certificate instead of buying
This year I am going to do a week trip on the Katy trail with a friend,
probably in spring.
I am going to ride many of the same local charity rides I rode last year.
Stuff called, Spokes for Strokes, Tour de Corn, Horsey Hundred, Tour de
Shawnee, Tour de Reelfoot, Misaligned Minds, Superman Bike
Do it before Feb. 1st, the prices for many are going up after then. :(

The difference in ride and speed when I swap from Soma tires to Pari Motos
on my Sam Hillborne is noticeable, noticeable enough that I have a second
wheelset for each tire; one for clubby rides and the other for Just Riding!
The difference is 120 grams per tire, I believe. The performance diffe
Well, I did it!
I ordered a Roadeo frameset. 53cm Ram Orange with cream accents, threaded
fork (going to use my Nitto lugged stem). When the custom raffle was going
on, I bought a gift certificate just so I could get entered into the
raffle. I didn't win, of course, so I am using the gift ce
You know, I have to say I am too.
Looks like a great place to work; the employees seem to believe in the
company and I believe that respect, for lack of a better word, comes out in
the products and the service that I have always enjoyed when I buy from
them.
I can tell you this, I don't no
I am going to be able to answer this in 4 months or so, that is about when
my Roadeo will be coming in. I have been using the Sam as a "go fast" bike
for club rides, as it is my only bike so I had to make due. The Roadeo will
be my fast bike once I get it, so I will be able to compare the two o
I have made a few reviews of products I actually bought on Riv, and I am
usually honest but tend to only review things I like. I don't really
understand reviewing something that you have never used. The review in
question seems to be based solely on the gear spacing and not the actually
quality
Thanks for the write up, great input on the handling differences.
I ordered a Roadeo in January and can't really wait to compare it to the
ride that the Sam Hillborne gives. Like you, I am going to keep it slimmed
down and built up for fair weather riding. I want it to be my club riding

I was checking the website today and noticed no bombadil. Say it aint so,
joe. Say it aint so.
This saddens me as the next bike I was thinking of getting after I get my
Roadeo built up was the bombadil. I guess the Hunqapillar can do most of
what the Bomb does though. Anybody know the scoop?
Just saw the note. It is good that they are keeping it on a limited basis,
I think it is a cool bike.
You know, my size for a bombadil would be the 48cm, so I think the pricing
would still be in the lower 2k mark. I like the Bombadil name, but like the
headbadge of the Hunqapillar more. Go f
