oh wheels. can't beat Open Pro rims and middle of the road Shimano hubs
shod with 25c Michelin Pro Race tires for good pavement. i just had built
some lighter weight Velocity A23 rims, Sapim Laser spokes, C-4 hubs and
installed Schwalbe 25c Ultremo tires...oh what a ride.

for me "go fast" and downtube shifters don't belong in the same equation. I
have used Ultegra 9 speed brifters on a number of bikes over the last 10
years and have never had one malfunction. if you ride mostly on the tops of
your drop bars, it is so much more efficient (for me) to be able shift

p.s. I also have an Atlantis - - mine is a 61 - wonderful bike, but
the Roadeo is a nicer ride for anything short of a fire road. Having
both bikes is the best of both worlds, congratulations.

Shawn:
The Roadeo is a fabulous bike. I built mine with what was essentially
an NOS Campagnolo Record 10 triple group with a carbon FSA triple. I
weigh anywhere from 200 to 215 and love the bike. Cut and pasted
below is the post I put on the list a few months ago, with a link to
some pictures:
Sure just rub it in. :)

The Roadeo is the spiritual heir to the Road Standard. My Road is
built up thusly:
SRAM Apex group, stock 11-32 cassette, less the crank.
Campy Record Triple crankset, 52/42 rings removed, 46 ring installed
in the middle position, no outer ring, stock 30 T inner ring.
White Industries hubs, 32 14
I forgot to say "Congratulations!" The Roadeo is a great bike and I'd
buy one except that my Legolas makes a great go-fast road bike.

Shawn, what do you have on your Atlantis? Bar Ends? And why Brifters on
the Rodeo? Having used all the shifting systems I have concluded that
brifters are superior in three types of riding. They have a tiny advantage
over BEs in commuting traffic; a tiny advantage over BEs and a tiny
disadv
If I were starting over with a non-touring road bike and still wanted low gears
on it and wanted brifters, the following is what I'd do (and the SRAM rep told
me it would work very well):
I'd get SRAM road brifters and use a 34-50 crank.
In the rear, I'd use a cassette that goes to 36.

I just put a used SRAM Rival set-up on my Sam as an experiment to make it
road-y-er. I had never used brifters before and they are fun for the kind

looks good too if you need the range. I went with the Rival because the

I'd take a good look at the SRAM Apex drivetrain. it's pretty smart.

I think that there's great value in the current Campy Centaur group,
especially if you can find non-Quick Shift set of brifters.

Do you know whether you prefer Shimano, Campy, or SRAM brifters? You'd do
quite well with the build spec that Mark at Riv put together for a go-fast
Roadeo.
When I wanted to put together my road gruppo, I watched Ebay and was able
to piece together a 9-sp dura ace drive train at a reasonable price
Need some advice on the buildup of 59cm Roadeo frame I recently
acquired. I have a 58cm Atlantis and was looking to build the Roadeo
as my go fast bike. The Roadeo has a threaded headset and I am looking
to build the bike up with brifiters. I am on a middle of the road
budget and want the Roadeo to
I bought my Hillborne to be my "weekend" bike, well aware of Grant's
words that it would quickly become my everyday bike. Too true. Two
summers ago, I had the chance to ride from the Bay Area up to the
Oregon/Washington border and back, and my Ultimate Touring Bike (Thorn
with Rohloff hub) was st
I bought my Atlantis because it's a touring bike. I'd already done
enough traveling to know it wasn't going to be possible to keep it
pristine. Between packing & re-assembling, AMTRAK, FedEx, airlines,
etc., a travel bike will get scratched (at the very least). The
Atlantis color is pretty good
The upside is an open position at RBWHQ. Some lucky Bay Area person
is getting a new job. I'll wager John is sifting applicants already,
even though what's up there is a draft.
Good luck to Jay in his new situation.

In my experience with lots and lots of dirt and gravel the only thing
Hetres are not good at is when the dirt here turns to muddy clay after
rain--thy thn slip on steep uphills. They're really just amazing
tires. Extremely tough and versatile. I've never had a flat on rough
roads. I'd recommend
+1 on the Modula. Here's some pics:

I know where my Quickbeam has marks, and how I put them there. Same
for the Bontrager. The painful ones are the ones that happened in the
garage because I was careless, not the chips and dings of use. I care,
but the idea of bagging my bikes in UV plastic so they're collector's
items... makes me it
I don't think you'll regret the Atlantis. If you live.
I think the Saluki can do anything you want it to do, but I'd rather
have an Atlantis than an MB-2 myself...
