They’re just Wavies with bar extensions. On Oct 9, 2024, at 3:50 PM, Jeremy Till <jeremy.t...@gmail.com> wrote:
Philip,
Can I ask what bars those are? They look like Wavies but with a longer grip area?

Good eye Bill!
(I’d expect no less).
Rack is placed there ONLY while we wait for the eyelet tap from Will! For some reason a bunch of the production frames came without that eyelet threaded on the NDS.
The brake caliper was a tiny bit wonky, you’re right, and was immediately corrected after the first ride, which was after these photos were taken.
Kyle didn’t want me getting any dirt on the frame before he’d shot it!
As for how I like it…
…I love it! Cute. Very nice selection of parts. -BUT- I'd change two things:
1. I think that front rack is the best possible front rack. Install it in the lower tabs behind the axle and you'll be able to get it a little closer to level. 2. The photo of the front brake setup makes it look pretty wonky. Like the center pull yoke is all tilted and then you adjusted the spring tension around that tilted yoke. I'd give that a good look and re-do that setup.
Enthusiastic APPROVE. Do you like it?

A couple of the photos attached for anyone, like me, that’s not on Instagram!
I finished mine up last week and Kyle from Allez just took a few very nice photos, if anyone is interested in seeing the direction I went:
P. W. "just in time for your September summit of Mount Diablo"
bet on it. The question is: will my Roaduno be a 2-speed, a 4-speed, a 6-speed, or maybe even a 14-speed?

Those are two very cool bikes. I currently own one of each. The Roaduno is definitely a much different bike than either of those two, which is why I'm getting one. Enjoy them!

Well, it's been an exciting couple weeks for me. New Bike Day x2! - and peripherally Roaduno related.
As I've stated elsewhere, I was psyched a couple years ago about what I thought was the original vision for the Roaduno. I was looking forward to a purpose-built Rivendell single-speed with 120 rear spacing, 650b wheels, cantilever brakes, and spacing for wide-ish tires. I was saving money and collecting parts. But we all know how the design morphed, and while the Roaduno is an interesting bike for sure, it's no longer the bike I want.
I started looking towards the Crust Lightning Bolt single speed, and the Crust Florida Man, and was even thinking about getting both.
Then a couple weeks ago, someone on the ibob list posted a Black Mountain Cycles rim-brake Monstercross frame/fork/headset in my size for a great price, and while it's not a singlespeed, it could easily be one and shares a lot of similarities with the Florida Man (but in 700c). Plus, I have a Black Mountain rim-brake road (no longer in production) and last year sold my Black Mountain Road+ when I built up my Ritchey Outback Breakaway, because I knew I'd probably never ride it with the Ritchey in the stable. I've communicated a lot with Mike Varley, am a fan of the bikes and his aesthetic, and have a couple friends who own a Monstercross. AND the frame was the same color, and has the same Pacenti fork crown, as my wrecked Ocean Air Cycles Rambler - the bike I've put the most miles on and with which I've had my most epic adventures. So, I bought it, I built it up, and it is an absolute blast to ride. I built it up with pretty much all parts I already had. Currently set up as a 1 x 10 with Microshift Sword, but I plan to create a second cockpit with brake cables I can swap out with a Separate wheelset to run it Singlespeed.
And last week someone else posted on the ibob list that they had a Quickbeam in my size (!) that they were planning on selling as F/F/H, but were putting out feelers to see if anyone was interested in the complete bike. Not willing to ship, but if interested party was in northern Oregon, could make arrangements. Turns out the owner lives 2 miles from me. Only asking $200 more for complete bike, including Sugino crankset, Paul canti brakes, Compass tires, Maes Parallel bars, and White Industries Dos Uno freewheel, and Nitto 32F front rack. My test ride lasted about one wide-grinned minute before we completed the transaction. What a fun bike!
Pics of both below.

The Roaduno sale begins Thursday June 27th noon Pacific time. 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!!
