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

[P W]

To Bill’s all silver idea: I’m going very, very black with mine. Originally I wanted all black everything, to make the silver pop and because I figured most people would do a silver-leaning build. But have had to make some concessions along the way, due to availability and deals too good to ignore. I’d post the photo I took of the build kit, but don’t want to ruin the reveal before the bike is even in hand! P.

Who is planning to buy one? Will you buy a frameset to build up or a complete? Color preference? I'm curious as to the demand for this bike. It's not JUST a single speed which I think is cool. And, cool is good in my lingo. What do you all think of the stock components? Let's talk Roaduno!!
