[RBW] Lego-faqs?

1. As of this date is it custom pricing or production pricing? 2. Custom paint? Or do they have a standard paint job for it? 3. Does anyone have proof that it's actually the lightest tubing production frame set ever made by Rivendell? Maybe I'll have to scour my old Readers to see. 4. Can y

[RBW] Roadeo ???

No, there just isn't a need for more than the ones they make. They have the Roadeo and AHH, had the San Marcos, and are working on the lower cost Roadini. There's only one direction to go from the basic road bike, and that's to heavier/longer/more tubes and wider clearances for fatter tires. The

Re: [RBW] Roadeo ???

I feel your anxiety, but are not the Roadeo and the Legolas still on the production list? (Yes, I know that the Legolas is a cross bike, but when your cross model has the lightest tubing of all, and when it takes tires no wider than your club machine ... point made.) Segue: Custom Rivendells. All

Yes, I get it, I understand living in the moment, its hard to say a bike is a bike & a tire is a tire is a tire when you ride a Rivendell! And while I'm as likely to roll a $12 tire as a $60 tire there's no denying that 90% of the time the expensive tire will be better. Sometimes it's not $48.
