I have a question about that this that's probably obvious to you God's
Country folk, but I'm just a common city boy and can't picture how it
works: Do you pay a fee to go in and pick away, or do they charge by the
bag on the way out?

Steven, wow, an apple better than Honeycrisp?! I’ll definitely look for the

In past years before I sold it off, my brevet bike was a Romulus. It saw
many centuries, a few 200k rides, a 300k ride, and a couple of 24-hour 320k
flèche team rides. I ran it with 32mm tires and fenders. As others have
said, comfort at the contact points is key: feet, butt, and hands.

Joe, all single speeds really have three speeds. Seated, standing and
walking.

Or for a 26" single speeder, the new Handsome XOXO has forward facing
horizontal dropouts, like the Surly Cross Check or BMC Monstercross.
Speaking of, IME this type of dropouts lets the rim track the brake pad as

Meh, don't beat yourself up. It's neat from a historical standpoint but,
without the correct fork, that value is sorta lost. A Quickbeam,
SimpleOne, Frank Jones or this new one all seem nicer. As do some from
Crust, Surly and others.

Yeah I messed up selling that one. I live in some hills now but at that
time I was at the top of a VERY steep one, the bike was literally
unrideable for me. Live and learn!

Thanks for posting this report about apple picking and the attached
photos. They bring back many, many memories of traveling over to the
orchards in SW Michigan to pick apples - especially those honey crisps.
Even better having it transported them via a good long wheel base bike
equipped with
Oh yeah I remember that now...wonder what the original fork looked like?

Anyway , I'm sure the new RoadUno will be a fun bike...probably not fair to
judge it basis the prototype version. We do know it'll have a generous
wheelbase and tons of clearance for big t
Here's that UNO though it's no help with the headbadge, it didn't have one.
This is one I really should have kept, I found it as a (very scratched)

The headbadge reminds me a little of the one on the singlespeed Bridgestone

Also keep in mind - especially those considering internal hubs - the
Roaduno will have 120 rear spacing (confirmed in Riv email). It's designed
to be a single speed and use a single speed hub.

I was pleasantly surprised that the final will be fully lugged. I like the
sound of the cream headtube as well, and a singlespeed that can run 55mm
tires sounds awesome.
That said, I find myself getting hung up on the name/decals. I just think

I would say a Homer, to give a direct answer. As the others pointed out,
almost any bike would work.
A fellow in NJ Randonnuers has been using a AHH-MUSA for over 10 years
(56cm I think).
The one AHH-MIT I rode felt very light, lighter than I thought it would.
I was surprised.

I always thought a Homer-ish bike with big fat tires would be awesome. It
sounds like that’s what this is. And it’s a single speed too, which is
exactly what I would want! In fact I even was considering a custom at some
point, and it looked a lot like this in my head. I picture it with some

+1 on responses prioritizing comfort.
I haven't done any official randonneuring but I have ridden across the
country with a small group on a light credit card touring ride and every

When I was first approached about the cross country ride I
I agree. However neither the Roadini nor the Charlie Gallop can fit 55mm
tyres. So I'll take the weight penalty and get almost the perfect road
bike! Maybe?
These are probably at least 2 years away and I might be broke or dead by
then. :P

Yes but they're heavy which is how you get to Grant/Riv's position, "Why
not just ride a derailer bike if you need gears?" At which point I look at
the light derailer Riv I have now and say, "Good point Grant/Riv!"

An internal geared hub would give you the slick aesthetic of that single
speed without all the walking and expensive knee replacements.
That is what I am thinking I'd do with this frame.
