As someone who owns a Crust Single Speed Breakaway Lightning Bolt this makes me happy. I’ve been eyeing the Homer but I have a Sam which is too similar. I find myself not riding the Crust very much and have been toying with the idea of selling it. It originally had noodle bars and now has albatross
Crust Single Speed Lightning Bolts are still available in all sizes. With
a level top tube, short chainstays and low-trail front end, it's not a
Rivendell. It is au courant with a Riv-adjacent niche. It takes 584x48
with no issue. Here's mine: Crust Single Speed Lightning Bolt (size L) |

I like the sound of that from a ride quality/tubing perspective, but not
from a tire clearance perspective. I really was looking forward to a SS
commuter that could take 700x55's or 45-50's w/ a fender. Also don't love

I'm already budgeting for this bike. I too wonder which crankset they will
offer on a complete build but I'm sure it will be good.

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
well as the QB's angled rear track ends, AND make wheel removal with
fenders signifi

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.
FYI, if someone really likes the idea of a singlespeed, 26
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!

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.

Yeah, i take it that Bridgestone was an inspiration. I think it was called
the Uno? There is a picture of a prototype somewhere in the bluhg i think.

The headbadge reminds me a little of the one on the singlespeed Bridgestone
USA proposed before that particular ship sank in 1994; it was in one of the
Bob Gazettes IIRC. Tried googling this (not very hard) and I didn't find
it. I know someone on this list besides Addison Willhite scanned all t
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'm real curious what crank Riv is going to spec on full builds.

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
Roaduno sounds a little silly and the headbadge doe
This is turning out better than I'd hoped. Seeing as how I regret getting
tid of my Clem H... AND have a sets of single-speed (and 3-speed) wheels

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

I hear you Joe! I love the simplicity and silence of single-speeds too. I
confess that my old SS PX-10 has been seeing the most riding the last few
years. Maybe it's my silent resistance to the proliferation of e-bikes I've
been seeing given the ruinous gas prices...which, don't get me wrong, ar
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.

I have an irrational love (ok most of my love experiences are irrational,
but I digress) of the look and simplicity of singlespeeds that translates
to hardly any riding I do. I want this bike despite knowing I'd have to

I think the Roaduno is going to have much lighter tubing than the Clem. So
not going to be as good to load up or off road.
I for one welcome a road bike I can put Antelope Hills on, however. So I am
looking forward to it.
