Rando rides have very specific reflective gear requirements as well -
a vest or Sam-Browne type reflective belt (I wear a reflective running

There aren't a lot of organized rides that do the type of riding that we do on
these rides - mixed surface, taking advantage of the different models'
versatility.
It's interesting that within typical mainstream road-only group rides, the
distinctiveness of the bikes offered by different makers
I wouldn't be surprised to hear of Colnago rides. There seems to be a lot of

I used a set for a while (purchased from Jim). It was a non-Rivendell
bike. They worked okay. Even in bad weather. The problem was
removing the wheel. The light has a tendency to smack into the
magnet. Makes re-mounting a wheel more of a chore. Especially in the
cold, in winter.

If the bolt is removable it shouldn't be an issue. The bolt is
probably a standard size. I just did this with a pair of Paul Racers
on my Raleigh Competition. Paul sells a long bolt set. Your brakes
probably have the same size bolt.
You could also ask Rivendell. I think I asked Mark about that and

Hi Anne,
The bike that is most comfortable and can carry what you need is probably the
best way to go. Can't you fender the Roadeo? It sure seems like you're leaning
in the Roadeo's direction and fendering it would just make it that much easier
to choose.
Best of luck,

It's a difficult decision. My fendered Atlantis is a lot heavier and

My frequent strategy for riding brevets in non-home territory was to find some
local to shadow or follow especially when it got dark. If you wait til later

My best strategy is to ride my own pace in brevets. Going faster (or
slower) to stay with selected company usually turns out to be a bad
