Re: [RBW] 2024 Appaloosa Thread

Armand, fair enough. If you’re going to go to the trouble of changing 
frames, it’d better be for something just right!

AppaLanta: congratulations! Can’t wait to hear your impressions of the 
bike.

Hey all,
Favor to ask of owners of the subject bikes.  I'd like to see a profile 
shot with the saddle set at 79, and bars level with saddle.  Icing on the 
cake if you'd share your PBH and the stem length you're running.  Thank you!

While we're at it, has anyone heard more than the what was mentioned in a 
previous Blahg post about a lugged Roadini coming this Oct ?

Thanks,
Tom

Pam, sounds like a great hosting network for cyclists- one which 
surprisingly I was not aware of, given that they've been around for several 
decades.. 

Wikipedia has an interesting entry on them detailing their history and 
member data.  ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warm_Showers )

Thanks for sharing!

 Hey Bill,

 I’m waiting to hear back from Jeff Lyon for the details. With
 the light weight and 435 stays I’m guessing cross vs sport tour. 
 STA is 73,
 HTA 72, my gross measurement of stack and reach were ~400 +/- 5mm 
 and 600,
 rear end is 130mm

 I’ll see if I can’t get an approximate BB drop with a line
 level.

It seems no one is very interested in purchasing so…happy to remove this if its 
not appropriate here.

Anyone interested in trading your used 58 canti Nor’Easter, Evasion, or Evasion 
Lite for a like new 57 Roadini frameset, headset, brakes, plus Crust dynamo 
wheelset. I will add a Ti Berthoud Galibier saddle with two tops and RandiJo 
cover, and RH 700c x 44 tires…I would prefer no dents, but scratches are 
expected.

Thanks Keith - another nice Ram, well proportioned. Good luck with your
stem experiment. I’m 6’ with 90.5 PBH, so slightly more equal upper/lower
body.   Depending on the setup my saddle height is 78-79.

[RBW] Re: Homer Dark Gold -NBD!

[Chris Halasz]

For the albatross bars, I'd recommend the Nitto 90-190 faceplater stem 
. My albatross bars, 
when I was using them, could slip if they weren't torqued down well with a 
Nitto aluminum stem. 

The Nitto 90-190 110mm stems are in stock at Rivendell!

[RBW] Re: Lugged Roadini and Charlie H Gallup

[Tom]

I called Riv today to ask several questions, one of which was the status on 
the lugged Roadini. It seems that originally the launch was scheduled for 
this Fall. However, they’re applying the Roaduno delay to the lugged 
Roadini, meaning it’s likely it wont be available until early 2025. Several 
other bikes are ahead of it, including Appaloosa, Gallup.

Re: [RBW] Where can I read try out a ton of different Rivendell models?

Anthony — Cheers to you on making the trip and trying out some bicycles. 
You left out some important intel: What did you think? Have you settled on 
a bike? Were there any you liked more than others? Models you said "Oh 
yeah!", others "Not for me"? 

Let us know!

[RBW] Re: Lugged Roadini and Charlie H Gallup

[Jay]

I would be interested in a lugged Roadini If I could easily strip my 
complete build, sell the frames for like 85% of what I paid (in Feb) and 
then rebuild with a few modifications from my original build.  Mostly 
though, I would select a 54cm over a 57cm.  I'm running my C17 as far 
forward on the rails as possible on a straight seat post.  It's fine, and I 
still love the bike, but I could have went down a size (I was between 
sizes).  My Roadini has good welds to my eye, more about the size and maybe 
the new colour scheme (that mermaid Atlantis colour...hmm, that would be a 
done deal if they offered that colour).

 I have a 2021 Appaloosa 57cm frame, fork, headset, bottom bracket and

 gently. That said there are some marks on the paint that I've tried to 
 capture in the photos. Some have been touched up with nail polish. 

 Rides like a dream. I'm only selling because I've switched to a 
 slightly larger and better fitting Atlantis. 

 The headset is FSA. The 26.8 seatpost is Kalloy I think, not fancy. The 
 bottom bracket is Shimano UN300, 113 mm and brand new. 

 Located in Berkeley, Calif. Price is $1325. I'll ship it anywhere in 
 CONUS for additional $75. And I'll pack per Rivendell instructions.

Re: [RBW] Re: Lugged Roadini and Charlie H Gallup

[Tom]

I hear you. But 85% is La La land in my experience for a non-lugged Riv
frame. This coming from someone who sold a pristine D&D custom painted
Roadini for far less than 85% for what I paid.

Re: [RBW] Where can I read try out a ton of different Rivendell models?

[Anthony Davila]

Hey Eric, first I wanted to say I have enjoyed your YouTube videos!

I thought the Roadini with drops was great and exactly what I thought it 
would be like. I tried out a ton of their models  like a Hillborne, a 
Roaduno, a Platypus, and some others. I really enjoyed all of them and to 
be honest, I came in with the mindset that I wouldn’t like swept-back bars, 
 but I thought they were really comfortable and fun to ride with.

I ended up choosing the (in green)  to go on that nearby trail and it was 
great! Really smooth shifting, comfy posture with drop bars (I’m new to 
drops and anything that isn’t a flat bar), really pretty bike, and the 
thicker tires on it were great as well.

Out of all the models, I would say that the Roaduno and Platypus are 
probably not for me. The Roaduno because a trip I have planned will 
probably be nice with gears and the Platy because I’m not a huge fan of the 
aesthetic.

As for next steps, I’ll probably be lurking on here and Facebook 
Marketplace for 54 cm Dark Gold Roadinis. Not sure if budget will allow for 
a brand new build from Rivendell when the new frames come out soon, but 
I’ll also be looking out for those! Should be fun, and hopefully I come 
across some nice deals.

Also another post on here was a little concerning as some were saying their 
Roadini’s welds were a little sloppy. I didn’t notice that on the one I 
test rode, but if anyone has pictures please share! I guess I could ask in 
that thread as well.

Anyways thanks for being curious about my visit to Riv HQ!
