Yes, to the rear disc, the drag brake benefits cannot be overstated.
Blowing 1 tire once (i have, but on another tandem)will make you a
drag brake believer.

Good point re overall design; i agree; bad phrasing on my part. I was
curious what difference there was, if any.
I suggested a friend get a Roadini (and he did) and we both love how it
rides. Having ridden a bunch of longer chainstay'd Rivs, I do feel they

I had a tubus on it for awhileeverything is bendable, esp the racks with
detachable struts. Easy to bend, “cold forge” using an anvil. I do not
recommend carrying said anvil on rack. But...thus far, no adverse effects, and
we’ve hauled lots of heavy stuff.

If for a single speed, why not also have it versatile enough for fixed
gear? IE horizontal dropouts. Of course the White Eno eccentric hub is a
game changer. Becuase of a temporary move to a flattish town, i converted
