I bought the HZ wire rope cutters and master link pliers, both of which work quite well. Really can’t be beat for the price. My brother gifted me these Knipex rope cutters. These are hands down the best cutters and ergonomically superior to the HZ cutters, and they have built in crimpers too. A

Hi Jay- Lovin’ the build! Thanks for sharing your impressions. The orange paint with the green bar tape looks great. I just put 32mm Corsa Pros on my Waterford Homer. I’ve only ever ridden it on 38mm+ gravel tires so I’m super excited to feel what it’s like on a more road-oriented tire. Have

Patrick, I humbly suggest that the Clem (and apparently Roadini) “liveliness & smoothness” you reference & that I can attest to is due to geometry rather than the tubing spec. As I am typing this I am recalling that Richard Sachs for a long time not only refused to use tubing stickers but did not e

I am *still* getting my Clem L finished (it was 'found' stock which I now understand was not in inventory originally because it had issues which weren't tracked so I received a bike with build issues). I didn't like the shifter arrangement so I purchased Microshift thumbshifters. When I put new

This morning I rode out my front door in El Cerrito to the Summit of Mount Diablo. It was my first big ride on my new pink Roadeo, having tackled the travails of Rene Herse Cantilevers and having just set up a new pair of tubeless Rene Herse Orondo Grade tires. It was in the high 40s when I l

Great report Bill, and saw the first photos on Flickr. The bike is great, and looks to be sized perfectly to you. No verification yet of matching socks. Please correct! The report promotes growing suspicion that the elusive 'planing' is a property of a bike's fastidious brakes selection, in pa

Cool bike, great story - congrats. Question; the Roadeo is a custom bicycle frame, correct? As such, would it not be designed specifically for the rider - in this case you? If this is correct, why would it or any Roadeo be overbuilt? Unless of course you asked for it to be.Sent from my iPhoneOn Mar

The Roadeo is "built to order" but it has a stock geometry and tubing. It is not a custom. When one buys a Rivendell Custom, they are paying for Grant to design a unique bike for them. That's very different than most other "custom" bikes, where the buyer can specify everything. A custom Riv
