Stopped by RBW for a few small things today and got to try the proto-Roadini. Here's an album with some pics: https://goo.gl/photos/uNuwi6pGPSEJf71w5
It is a very comfortable bike to ride, as are all Rivs. 46cm chainstay on this 57cm, so it's longer than a Roadeo and shorter than Clem, etc. Rides very smooth, corners confidently, and it's easy to envision the miles easily rolling away under the wheels. When I got on, I checked the barends for shifters. Not finding any, I reached for the downtube, but what do you know, it has brifters. This proto is set up with a rapid rise XT derailer, which I like. Interesting new fastback seat lug. Cool headbadge. Grant's shin in one of the shots. And at the end is the top secret Riv proto carbon fiber fixie, badged as a Calfee to keep it incognito. jim m walnut creek, ca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
