Hi Max, Thanks so much for the positive feedback. I like your color Rodeo better. That's my favorite and have seen it on a few of the Hunq's- stunning. I'll be honest, the only reason I went to Albatross handlebars is because the 59cm frame is just a little too big for me.I wouldn't go through thi

Hi Bruce, I have a question about those Campagnolo flat bar shifters - - specifically, can you share your thoughts on how they work with the front derailleur shifts?. Can you trim the front derailleur? Or is the front shift a "big click," like the Shimanos? I love the build you did, and would

I may need some VBC rings... that looks like a brilliant gearing setup, and a beautiful bike. It looks like it can fly! Philip www.biketinker.com On Sunday, October 18, 2015 at 11:12:17 AM UTC-7, Bruce Smitham wrote: > > I wanted to let you fine folks know how happy I am with my 59cm Rivendell

Yeah it's a more versatile bike than I originally thought. I forgot that I can ride it all day long and all I want to do. Thanks for the feedback, Bruce On Sun, Oct 18, 2015 at 6:11 PM, Richard L wrote: > I really like your Roadeo and the build. There was a Roadeo with flat > bars on the Riven

I really like your Roadeo and the build. There was a Roadeo with flat bars on the Rivendell Blug a while back. The bars might have been MAP's instead of Albatross'. A high performance road bike with flat bars? Horrors, what would some of the other forums dedicated to road bikes think? That'

Bruce, I am glad you like the bike. I missed that bike so much that I ordered another Roadeo frame set ( same size ). It says something about the Roadeo's neutral handling that the bike can feel so good in two different setups. Now, go out and ride the heck out of it. Don On Sunday, October 18,
