I'm a bit of a weird situation being that I broke my growth plate in my femur when I was younger. Surgery was done on the other leg to close the growth plate also. What that left me with was a 18mm ish leg length discrepancy and femurs that are overall 2 inches shorter than they would have be

Re: [RBW] Sam/Roadini Comparisons with wheel size difference

I do generally prefer a slacker seat tube angle. I ride 155 cranks and even though when your saddle goes up to accommodate for the cranks it generally needs to go back a bit more still. The Roadini has a 72.5 STA and my Berthoud saddle is more back than forward right now. Weight could be i

Hey So I've been enjoying my Roadini and taking it on everything from paved roads/dirt roads to some chunky stuff. I'm 5 foot 7 with short legs, 670 ish saddle height with 155 cranks. The Roadini is a size 50 which has a 55 ETT. I'm running a 70mm stem with short reach drops. I'm a little on

Hmm... I live somewhere hilly (Vermont) and ride my roadini on everything granted the pads on the 559s on the roadini are high in the slot nd i swapped out for Kool Stops. Not arguing that they are the most powerful brakes ever but they seem to do the job. -Dan On Friday, June 28, 2024 at 9:5

It seems this bike will be stickin with the longer chain stay/longer front end for swept bars style of things. Has anyone ridden that type of Rivendell single speed often? I'm curious what it feels like to do a lot of out of the saddle climbing in a hilly area. On Saturday, February 4, 2023

Hey guys. I have a longer reach bike with swept back (Velo Orange Granola Bars) and currently messing with stem length. Started with a 110mm which puts the grips ahead of the head tube. Standing climbing in that widest, farthest back position feels normal. When switching to a 90mm stem (110
