RE: [RBW] Re: Roadeo first ride impressions

Thank you, Tony! I have long arms (and legs for that matter) and the reach to the hypothetical downtube shifters is natural for me when riding on the hoods. As far as the stem is concerned, it is a Nitto Deluxe with a 110cm extension. Based on what I know about the San Marcos, the Roadeo has

[RBW] Re: Roadeo first ride impressions

Beautiful bike, Paul. A few years ago, I thought that a Soma San Marcos would give be enough of a Riv fix to get me by for a while. Since I bought the Atlantis last Summer, I have been tempted to see what the other end of the Riv spectrum is like. At 6', 170 lbs, and 89 PBH, it is nice to kno

Deacon, I've thought about that too and experienced that very thing on my first ride. There is freedom indeed! Paul On Wednesday, January 29, 2014 4:40:16 PM UTC-8, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Fantastic, Paul! > > You mention not wanting to install the computer for aesthetic reasons. > I've inte

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadeo first ride impressions

FWIW, if the inner measurement demon fights epic battles with the minimalist aesthetic demon, you can always use Cyclemeter on your "smart" (gag, yurk, spew) phone. One very nice thing is that, while it does record your average and fastest speed, you can nonetheless tuck it away in your jersey pock

Fantastic, Paul! You mention not wanting to install the computer for aesthetic reasons. I've intentionally not installed a computer also, and doing so has brought amazing freedom. I do not feel a pressure to "push a bit harder and go 19 mph" or focus on the milage ticking by. Instead I enjoy th

I love it. Congratulations. That's a terrific looking, smart contemporary road bike. On Wednesday, January 29, 2014 4:33:35 PM UTC-8, Paul G wrote: > > > > It's taken a long time for me to

Ahh, killing me. My frame is on the brown truck today to be delivered. Can't wait to start building tomorrow!!! On Mar 4, 7:32 pm, dpco wrote: > i rode my new roadeo on its maiden voyage. just a super bike. 40mi., > rolling hills around plymouth, ca. > build as follows: 59cm roadeo, mary's blue >

[RBW] Re: roadeo, first ride

to be fair, my build is not particularly light. with my old style look pedals, the bike weighs 22.8 lbs. if i went with full record, threadless stem, light bars, light wheels, and some race saddle, it would be 18-19 lbs. but, i don't ride against a clock. on our club rides we go fast for short per
