Unless you absolutely don't like the dark gold I would suggest grabbing a
new one from Rivendell because IMO there has never been a better stock
build then what they have now. I changed all kinds of parts on mine and I
don't think I would change a thing on the current one.

I agree with everyone that you should fix the issue with the cassette and

It depends how you use them. If you spend 90% of the time upright with the
hands near the back (which is why Russ probably like those mtn brakes) then
you would want a longer stem. I would argue you probable want different
bars too because there are a ton of great upright bars for that position.
I'm a sucker for a level top tube though. That Quickbeam is pretty sweet!

I'm not a fan of bullmoose versions of bars myself. They look great but
they lack too much in flexibility for me. Flexibility in setup that is not
actual bar flex although they also have less of that.

Main ways it differs (geometry aside because that is above my pay grade),
this one has canti studs for V, mini-v, or canti brakes. This one is 135
spaced in the rear I cant remember if the production gallop is 130 or 135.
The Gallop top tube hits the seat stay a touch higher and uses a lug there
I think the big thing is that the gallop was designed for sweptback bars
and the roadini was not. In the world of Rivendell I am not sure what that
equates to because most of their bikes can go either way and Grant has said
that is true here too if you use a short stem. That statement tells me t

That still falls into that "rivendell likes to size up" thing. I had a 54
Rambouillet and while I am 5'9" I have a lower PBH (around 80). The 54 was
the max I would be comfortable with. A 55 Romulus would likely work. Leah's
PBH is slightly larger so I think the 55 would be a great fit. Going to

Thanks!"*
Rivendell makes stuff to be pretty flexible so even the Roadeo "could" be
built out to be kind of all-purpose but the geometry and intent of the
Gallop is to be a road frame that replaces the Roadini. My prototype is
Probably a bit of a wait for a Gallop but the slightly lower top tube could
give it an edge over standard road frames. I have the swoopy prototype and
if it rides the same people are going to love it.

I doubt the Roadeo is a TON lighter than a Roadini. I think the weight
details would be in the build more than anything else. As far as bars are
concerned drops are fun on a road bike but not required. My recommendation
for a non-drop road setup would be the Albastache bars which are IMO the

I am between sizes as well and my general rule is...if I want a more
traditional setup/fit (maybe with drop bars) I size down. If I want to go
laid back, more sweptback style I go up. With your PBH if you want drops go
with the 51 otherwise the 54 might be best. If you want to size up but the

I believe that is blue not sage. Blue was available as a 51 frame.
