Congrats, Tony! I'm just a few miles away in Glendale and have an orange Roadini from a previous batch. Know a fellow named Dean in Eagle Rock who has one from the new gold run, and it does look great. I'd have a hard time choosing between that and the green as well. Both are really nice shade

Hey Brent, I know that we've already gotten to chat about how much I enjoy my Roadini. I have owned an RB-1 previously, and would argue that if you could only own of those two bikes, the Roadini is a clear winner from the standpoint of utility. I've been commuting on it and taking it on mixed s

[RBW] Re: ISO: Roadini 54 Sergio Green

Oops! An error on my part. We have a 2.5cm difference in saddle height, not 2.5 inches. So a 54 should still give you four inches of seatpost. On Tuesday, December 12, 2023 at 8:28:52 AM UTC-8 Brian Cunningham wrote: > Doug, > > Will is probably leading you in the right direction.

[RBW] Re: ISO: Roadini 54 Sergio Green

Doug, Will is probably leading you in the right direction. Some data points that might help you from my 54 Roadini. Shod with 700X42s, the standover height is 32". I'm 6'0" with a 85 PBH/74cm saddle height. My saddle height gives me 5 inches of seatpost visible, so you'd be down to 2.5". Inte

As someone who’s bought four Rivs over the last 14 years and has never bought one new (sorry, Grant! I still buy plenty of parts and accessories from the site!), waiting and letting someone else do the depreciating is fine as long as you’re happy with your current stable. I acquired my complete

Re: [RBW] ISO Roadini...or?

Since I now own both a Sam and a Roadini (as of last month), the latter is noticeably zippier. The difference I feel in going from a stop to accelerating to a normal cruising speed is palpable. The Roadini just gets there faster and climbs more nimbly. My feelings seem to be supported by data.

Re: [RBW] Anyone Tried RH Snoqualmie Pass on a Sam?

Tim, I’ve got the same era Sam but with the tektro r559 brakes. Tire clearance is sufficient for those 44s, but when I’ve run them I haven’t been able to get the tires to pass through the brake calipers fully inflated, so I’d have to finish inflating after getting the tires in place. Not sure h

Hi Sean! Out of curiosity, how narrow was too narrow for the Fanny? I know from experience the Fab’s Abs works with a Nitto Noodle 44cm, but perhaps this bag is too much for such a bar? Thanks, Brian On Monday, June 12, 2023 at 9:04:54 AM UTC-7 Sean Steinle wrote: Excellent condition, mount
