Whups. My shopping bike is 130mm. Looks like I'll have to fix it rather than cannibalize it for a Roaduno. It would be pretty easy to spread the frame by 10mm, given the longish chainstays we'reseeing on the prototypes.. Or maybe you can remove a spacer on one or both sides of the axle, and re-dish the wheel? To the original question, I've been thinking about a 3 speed / coaster brake too. If not using caliper brakes allows for a little fatter tire, like 55 or 60mm, it will nudge me even further that way. I'm watching this from a classic N+1 starting point. I don't need a new bike - especially since I already have a Quickbeam - but was excited when the Roaduno was going to be based on the Clem. I would definitely use a simple, low-maintenance, weather-proof, mud-proof and sand-proof, baloon-tired, cruiser sort of thing... that isnt crappy. The ability to use 3 speed IGHs is the best thing about horizontal dropouts, once the single-speed novelty wears off. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
