Yeah, if that were a 55, I'd be all over it!

[cyclotourist]

Close enough!!!

Crap, I might have to take a crack at this. My size and as you say,
they don't come along too often. Man, those are some scuffed up brake
levers, tho! Wonder if he'd do just he frame/fork?

Yeah, the Legolas is a pretty special bike... like the color, brakes can be changed!

[Joe Bernard]

Sure, just change the paint. And brake levers. And shfters. It's only money! :)

What ever happened to that robin's egg blue proto legolas that was recently on the list?   Did anyone here buy it.  I know it was last listed as a complete bike on sf craigslist for $900, then a while later posted here on the list by the new owner.  I should have snatched it up.

Wasn't the Legolas designed with a heavier frame as a cyclocross bike?

[Joe Bernard]

Nope. It's a lightweight-tubing cyclocrosser. Cyclocross doesn't have big jumps that require a stout frame, and those bikes spend a lot of time being carried by the rider. Gotta be light.

Yes, it's pretty much the lightest weight Rivy bike out there, a true racing bike. Probably lighter/flexier than a Roadeo, but with cantis and more tire clearance. VERY special bikes...

How many Legoli did they make?

Count me in the running if anyone offers a 55

[Jim Mather]

The Legolas and Roadeo have the same tubing for top and seat tubes, fork blades and chain stays. The Legolas downtube is slightly heavier at .7/.5/.7 vs .65/.45/65 for the Roadeo. There were around 80 built according to Mark and Grant. It is definitely a race-worthy bike.

If this question has been answered, can you or y'all point me to the
source? If not:

How does the Roadeo and Legolas tubing compare to that of a medium
(58) size Rambouillet?

Keep in mind that many items, including bikes, sold by RBW change specs with pretty regular frequency for any number of reasons.  The pre-release write up on Cyclofiend linked below is not exactly how they turned out. For example, the inital color was orange, not beeswax, Japanese tubes were used, and the tube set is just a hair different than listed. 

I rode my blue Ram today and enjoyed just as much as ever. It wasn't designed to race with, but it's fast enough. Rodeo was designed to be a speedy club racer and Legolas a racing CX bike. All three are good bikes.

Anyone want to buy this:

so that I can buy the Legolas?

[cyclotourist]

Auction ended at $1,825... I think that was right about what the BIN was. Someone has a great new bike!

[Dave]

Good think it was too small for you.  I could see you thinking about selling the car...

[cyclotourist]

A car, a kidney, a kid... I have more than one of each!

[Dave]

And still no Legolas.  The next time a 60 cm comes up, your kids will need to hide!

[cyclotourist]

Just biding my time...
