I hear you. But 85% is La La land in my experience for a non-lugged Riv
frame. This coming from someone who sold a pristine D&D custom painted
Roadini for far less than 85% for what I paid.

I would be interested in a lugged Roadini If I could easily strip my
complete build, sell the frames for like 85% of what I paid (in Feb) and
then rebuild with a few modifications from my original build. Mostly

I called Riv today to ask several questions, one of which was the status on
the lugged Roadini. It seems that originally the launch was scheduled for
this Fall. However, they’re applying the Roaduno delay to the lugged
Roadini, meaning it’s likely it wont be available until early 2025. Several
Valerie, I want to hear the answers to all the questions! You are one of
the few people riding this rare unicorn bike I want to know all the
things!

maybe they're offering a lugged Roadini to reduce the demand for lugged
MN-built Roadeos with their long wait times? And offer another alternative
to said long(2 years) wait times. Which are now quoted at $3886 CAD; all
models are quoted in CAD interestingly enough

Totally agree with you, Paul. I know I'm being picky, but the welds on my
Roadini look pretty sloppy. Best believe it's going up for sale just so
long as (1) the Lugged Leo has the same snappy ride quality and (2) it
comes in blue. Not sure what compelled me to sell my Soma SanMarcos ten

I purchased a Sergio green Roadini from the last run of framesets. The tig

Good info Valerie! As the reviewer you are noting, yep, I can totally see
what you mean and I agree that what I was using it for wasn't quite right
for what it was as a bike. My Hillborne is actually the perfect bike for
what I was trying to do.

Valerie, I would love to hear every single thing you say about this bike. Do you have sweepy bars? Drop bars? Have you ridden it on a club ride? Do you find it to be quick and lively? What was the reason you bought your Charlie? I don’t know why the lugged Roadini, either. Anyone know?LeahOn May 5,
I just finished tweaking the set up on my 2022 Gallop demo - purple with
swoop tube, non-canti version. It rides like a dream. Super silky and
nimble. One mistake I had made was to install a heavy duty pannier rack on
it. It made the bike feel very noodley. I was tempted to sell it. I think

I'm curious about the whole lugged Roadini thing now. The Susie I
understand because its a cost/time of manufacture thing but in the case of
the Roadini it basically is just upping the cost. Unless the feeling is
that a lugged model will just sell better regardless of a higher price.
On Sunday,
I saw the mention of the lugged Roadini. I am 99% certain I will order one
once they become available.

I concede that this would be better!

The Rivendell product schedule is like a fever dream.
So many variations on one theme -- or maybe two themes. Go-fast yet
comfortable, which are the most interesting bikes to me (Roadini, Gallop,
AHH, maybe Sam), plus the long step-throug

I hope I'm not spreading misinformation but in Grant's latest Blahg he
mentions a Lugged Roadini in October. Does that mean fully lugged? It think
so but not 100% sure. This Blahg is loaded with good stuff too if you
haven't seen it check it out.

Waitlugged Roadini?? I thought you just messed up and meant Susie.
There is a lugged Roadini coming? Has that been discussed before?

Joe,
Glad you corrected me on that one. I know Grant prefers lugs so makes
sense. And, yes, we know someone waiting patiently for the Charlie Gallup!
Or, not so patiently...

Doug,
My understanding (which may be wrong, my memory for stuff I read a while
ago seems to have left me as I recently approached my 62nd birthday) is the
CHG will also be lugged and probably not cheap. It will be longer-stayed
than the Roadini. It's coming September! I know at least one frien
Throw some Canti posts on the Roadini while they are brazing, and I'm a
buyer.
