Hardly have sold the Herse and I am salivating at the thought of something new. What I need, I say, *need*, is a gofast multispeed bike (with coasting capability); no gd fenders, racks -- I've got plenty of bikes that will take fenders, racks and loads. This would be for fair weather, no-load, cycling-kit-wearing (but wool kit), lightweight rides. No tire fatter than 28 and 26 acceptable.
Now I am sure that the Roadeo is a better bike and I know that fender and 32 mm clearance won't take from its speed; but the R would run upward of $4K minimum built with used parts, and I would hope to find a RB1 or similar classic for less. I want something that is fast to accelerate, climbs well, corners "intuitively" and that will well fit a long torso and short limbs. Perhaps I ought to convert my 1999 650C Joe Starck fixie custom to a gearie (having converted my '03 Curt gearie to a fixed commuter). Actually, now that I think of that, this might make sense -- unless I convert the '99 to a trike. Seriously, Rodeo or RB1 or clone? -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW http://resumespecialties.com/index.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
