  • a delectable dealer's-choice-customer build of Rivendell's budget rough road bike. I go through the parts spec and give some nice "aromas of the saddle" to end it off. enjoy!

    Your lack of fear bending those bars is an inspiration to us all.

    Almost watched this on my lunch break at the bike shop. Even better, I watched it on the couch when I got home. What a way to decompress after a long day assembling boring bikes.

      Hello, new to cycling here. What makes a bike boring as opposed to not boring?

      @@j.bridges2921 I prefer the old school look of a steel frame like in this video. Most bikes nowadays are aluminum or carbon fiber. Also, I work at a bike shop where 90% of people buy the cheapest bike we sell or kids bikes. All aluminum with bottom tier parts. It's very repetitive building the same 2 or 3 bikes all the time too.

    Wow! I was just admiring this new Deeter build on Strava. And now here you are with a full build report. I have the same Roadini albeit a smaller 57cm. I also had one of the earlier ones with less clearance maxed out to 38mm’s with Paul Racer Mediums. Grew tired of that limitation and did not have the forethought to braze on some canti bosses like you did. Passed it on. Moved on. Then they came out with this new version. Love it. It’s as close to perfect as I can imagine. Another great, snowy post. This winter will end one day. 👍

But maybe, as a right hander ;-) when doing things the reach shortens and before doing things the reach is longer. Need to monitor that. ;-)
