I can tell you this much: it’s not a California or UC Davis bike license.

It looks to me like either an ID bar code or a portal into another reality
where people live in friendly communities surrounded by respected habitats
suitable for the endemic species to thrive and the necessities of life are
procured on foot or by bicycle. And there's a river.

There will be no guesses.

This is excellent information; thanks. I will keep my eye on the Showers

Neal,
I’m the one you sold the Roadini to and I’m happy to report that I’m loving it!
I swapped the 80mm stem for a 60mm and it put me in a slightly more upright
position which causes no pain whatsoever. Every other drop bar bike I’ve owned
just didn’t feel right after a few hours of riding. Th

Here are my answers to your questions

Saddle Height (SH) is measured from the center of the BB spindle to the top

I owned a Roadini for a relatively short time before selling it to someone
on this list, I believe. I liked the aesthetics a lot, but did find it on
the sluggish side and have other bikes that fit the “country bike” theme
that I found myself riding instead. Previous to that, I owned a Romulus,
Just to update my FS list, the following items have been sold:

Perhaps this link may be of use for those who like to ride in the Winter
areas with corrosive elements on the streets. John Allen (picking up and
following after the late Sheldon Brown) has some excellent advice at:

Jan calls planing - the flex in the frame needs to match your power output
and rhythm to give you a small but important "springboard" effect with each
pedal stroke, in order to feel fast. It really has little to nothing

I believe the Road Standard will fit you and if anything the TT may be a
bit short which can be corrected with a longer stem or drop bars with
greater reach. This is based on the following values for:
Road Standard (RS) 50cm STL and 52cm TTL but the frame angles are not
provided.
Adrianna,
I would submit that this bike is kinda small for you. Most gals 5'5" are
more of a traditional size 51/52, and would have a longer top tube. The
closest recent Riv would be the Rambouillet . Check out sizing specs etc on
it, the 50 and 52 were the 26" wheel also. Grant would have told
I’m inspired. I don’t want to pay attention to tires and be switching them out.
And I have the only 3 bikes I care to own and I don’t want a beater to ride.
So, I will follow Liz’s excellent example and Just Ride. And clean off the bike
from time to time.
I’m glad you love that Clem L - I just
I commuted like that for about 10 years, but only 2 or 3 days each week. :)
I’m no longer at the same job and no longer ride to work, but those years,

bike. If the weather was bad on my way home, I usually rode on home. So,

The *most important parameter* to consider is "does it fit you"?? Since
it's a Rivendell, your PBH and the PBH which Grant designed it for should
answer most of that. The only other consideration is your Reach vs the
Road Standard frame angles and TTL. Reach is typically fine tuned with

I concur with Joyce’s list for cold-weather riding…lots of lightweight,

necessary, I can slip a foot warmer in the mitten part for more toast.

Oh, Joyce, Leah Peterson ought to dial it back. But, that raspberry coat is
really lovely. Tell me about sizing - the reviews on size were mixed. Some tiny
