Bill,
If the Roaduno had been made with vertical dropouts then anyone wanting to
run it as a single speed would need to run a chain tensioner or use an
eccentric hub.
At that point I think a lot of people would just try running a single gear
on an existing bike.
The simplicity of not needing a
Swept back bars with a 26.0 clamp diameter? Must be the Crust Ron’s Ortho
Bars!
I had slipping issues with mine initially until I just really tightened
down on the stem. I’m running an old Velo Orange Crand Cru steel stem.
Looks great, but I could indeed go with more reach if I could ever find
To add: I ride single track semi regularly and no issues since tightening.

That looks like a great ride John! I remember seeing that route pop up on
Bikepacking. Enjoy the trip!

I think about only 1 cyclist when I insist that he ride a Rivendell fixed
instead of single speed, and that 1 is me; or rather, I. That 1 is I, if
you see what I (1) mean.
I don't care if someone rides a Roaduno fixed or free or multispeed; my
question bears on facts and not morals. But if I got o
The main reason I bought a Roaduno was the track ends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm loving it as a singlespeed (especially after adjusting the gear ratio).
I was pleased to see bikesnob defend the caliper brakes; this is another
feature I like about this bike that others seemingly weren't too keen on.

Bill,
I have set my Roaduno up as a fixie for a couple of reasons, but only one
may apply to you: to experience a bike in a very simple form! Pedal
forward, your bike moves forward, pedal backward, your bike moves backward,
resist the forward movement of your pedals, the bike slows.
I can't sa

I do own a fixie, and it is a Crust. It's the original offering Crust
Florida Man. It lives in my office in Michigan, and it's right at home
there in Western Wayne County. A fixie would be a disaster for me in the
SF East Bay.

"Wouldn't verticals make the frame less apt for its apparent intended use
as the single speed signified by the name?"
This is fascinating. An individual implicitly shows an utter disregard for
bicycles' apparent intended use by serially converting all possible
platforms to fixies. That indivi

Hey Brody,
The Radavist Radbazaaar has 2 bikes and 2 frames in your size listed(Rambo,
Sam, Romulus, and Roadini). though you'd need to throw some different bars
on the two completes.
Might be worth browsing!

Hahaha, I love this conversation.
I agree with Bill Lindsay on almost anything he writes except for his
argument that the primary use of a bike named the Roaduno is as a two speed!
What I think happened is that Grant designed a single speed, named it a

Also, 38x16 and 35x19, the original White Industries DOS ENO drivetrain set
up, is dynamite. It's a bummer that White Industries doesn't make the
16/19 anymore, so good on you for having one.

Nice bike. It it as pictured? Who is going to be the recipient of this fine
steed?
I may have some used something or another hanging around that you can have,
but looks like you are covered.
Thanks,

Unfortunately, I don’t have anything specific lined up yet, so if you’ve got a pair of tires like this hanging around, I’d appreciate it! No, pic is a stock photo of the bike when it was sold. I’ll take a picture of how it stands today, mostly stripped down and awaiting a new crankset, chain, shift
The dropouts might be proprietary, but they're functionally identical to
those on a 2003 Surly Karate Monkey... though I doubt Riv's have the Surly
name cast in.

I know I just missed a FS post for a Nitto front rack and I'm kicking
myself! I've got a Soma Lucas 3 on my bike now, but am looking for
something smaller. Ideally Nitto, VO, or the Soma Champs-Elysees. Using
sidepull breaks and 650B wheels if that helps any.

Could always try a 25.4 clamp stem with the 26.0 diameter HBs - the muscle
it takes to get that clamp onto the wider HBs is more than enough to keep
it in place when riding.
A faceplater stem is never a bad idea either, since 2 or 4 bolts is more
secure than 1.

Thanks for the leads. I've reached out.
Any insights/opinions on Homer vs. Roadini for a first-time Rivendell rider?
Cheers

Brody i have zero relationship to the seller but 1hr from in Chicago is a
complete 64cm Holden for $1500 which seems like a great deal. Minimum pbh
looks to be 94cm so I don’t know if sizing up will work for ya but I sized
up on the Appaloosa for what it’s worth.
