My confusion, in the picture it looked like a triple to me. But, for the record. Your 50/12 combination yields 112 gear inches while my 44/11 is 108. Your 34/29 is 32 G.I. while my 30/28 is 29. Not a great deal of difference to be sure. Vermont, where I live and ride, provides a lot of ro

Beautiful bike, Don, and I too like the front fender set up. I've gone back and forth about front vs rear bags. My question though is why you run a triple with a 34 inner tooth? I run my Ram with a White VBC 44/30 and Ultegra 9 spd 11-28. It would seem that with an 11 spd you should have an

Going 11 allows me to use Shimano/Sram compatible 11sp. hubs and cassettes. With eleven, I am not stuck with only Campy cassettes or crappy IRD cassettes. Leonard Zinn has been testing using Campy 11sp. shifters and derailleurs with Sram and Shimano 11sp cassettes on non-Campy rear hubs. He didn

I've had my eye on this one as well. Its a deal, but I am not crazy about the color (though its not really that bad). I would also rather have a threaded stem. I'm also somewhat torn between this bike and a Hilsen. Given all of that, the Roadeo is still pretty darn tempting. (as as the blu

It's my size and gorgeous, but it would fit in between my Giordana (gofast) and Riv Road Standard (gofun). Tight company, there. Especially for a cheapskate like me. On Fri, Nov 15, 2013 at 5:24 PM, cyclotourist wrote: > 1) Slow bike selling season (people gearing up for holidays/recoverying >

1) Slow bike selling season (people gearing up for holidays/recoverying from summer) 2) High starting bid (people don't traul ebay looking for reasonable prices, they want a deal!) 3) Overpriced for a second hand bike, although never built up (my opinion) 4) Don't like threadless or color (I like b

I can't say why it's not selling. $1775 no tax and free shipping is like $700 off for a California buyer. I like it a lot and it is my size. Many times I've tagged a 59 Roadeo as my next purchase, but haven't gotten there yet. If I was ordering a 59 Roadeo today, I might ask for DT shifter b

I liked the look of Mark's Roadeo in a recent Blug post. Does he use 11? Don: curious why you like 11 instead of 10? (Not trying to sneak a criticism in under guise of a question.) I could usefully add #10 to the Fargo's current 9, for another intermediate low gear, but I can't hack 10s the way I

I totally ride and believe in Rivendell bikes. But, I like the new 11sp stuff. I am going with Campy 11sp. with a TA Zephyr 110 crank. 34 inner ring with a 12-29 cassette that works for me. The shift lever along with my Shimano brake release gives me some workability with wide tires. For me, i
