I love reading reports like this. And regarding clearance, Riv used to show a Roadeo set up nicely with Jack Browns and fenders. It might even be on their Roadeo page. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 4, 2015, at 8:21 PM, Don Compton wrote: > > I know that I am preaching to the Choir. I picked u

After someone had questions about Roadeos on the IBOB group, I thought I would give and update. Over the years ( 63 yo) I have had so many bikes. I never raced, just was an active club rider. A few centuries a year and mostly 35-50 mile rides. Okay I am an old fart, but the stability of Grant's h
