I really like my Lezyne Road Drive pumps. These are mini-pumps with
the old-school hose connection. I like them because they can pump up

The design put very little stress on the tube stem and enables

settled on a design yet for how we want to protect everything.

I saw Mark Abele's JB grey/burgundy bike shortly after it arrived at

I've wanted a Roadeo painted this way ever since.
This bike is gorgeous.
Now I'm off to ponder how I might rationalize something of this ilk.

The color choice is really beautiful.
As far as wheels are concerned, for the Roadeo, I've been using plain
old Mavic Aksiums with Jack Browns and Schwalbe Kojaks, which are
roughly equivalent tires in width, performance, and comfort. They
perform nicely.
I'd like to upgrade my wheels as well,
What everyone "needs" is just two bikes -- an A. Homer Hilsen for
everything fast and an Atlantis for everything gnarly. You've already
got a Sam, which is like the A. Homer. So, just sell everything and
buy an Atlantis and you'll be good to go. Everything else goes in the
"want" column!!

Okay, just looked at the new Bomba. Can't just leave off the toptube.
Certainly would need at least a different headtube/diagotube lug.
Probably would have to have the diagotube intersect the headtube
higher up, as well. But seems like a smart mix of Bomba and Betty lugs

Yes, the lugs appear to be from the Glorius, the fork is presumably
from the Bomba. But if you want to turn this into a production model,
a Bomba without a toptube seems to be the obvious way to go. Certainly

It's a beautiful bike, a Bomba without a toptube! Perhaps Riv should

Thanks Angus.
I can't vouch for the company, but they certainly did a great job on this

what he thought of his experience with them.

O, that's the second fancy Rivendell I've seen today w/ couplers.
