I am your 0.1 ton test rider. I own two bikes that have appeared and favorably reviewed in BQ, a Velo Orange Randonneur and a MAP Randonneur Project. My bikes are slightly different from Jan's: 8/5/8 tubing vs his 7/4/7. Otherwise, my bikes are exactly as he describes. Both bikes were 1:1 frame replacements, the VO replacing a Rivendell Rambouillet, the MAP replacing a Rivendell Saluki. Both Rivs were 8/5/8 OS, the replacements 8/5/8 std diam. The difference climbing in both frames is notable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
