I did my ninth Diablo Summit of 2024 today, once every month and now on nine different bikes. This time I rode my new RoadUno, obviously with 14-speeds. It was my first summit of the year on flat pedals and casual shoes. My seat tube mounted rear shifter worked a charm. The bike descends extremely well, and I enjoyed the variety of positions on the Choco bars. I got some funny looks from the East Bay Roadies, but received an enthusiastic greeting from a Riv Road rider, and from a guy on a Brompton.

So now the "Uno" on my RoadUno signifies it being the first of its model to the top of Mount Diablo.

That's awesome - congrats! Perfect day for it... Meanwhile, I went to Riv HQ and took a Roaduno around the block for a few laps...what a fun bike!

Who cares about those east bay roadies! The shirt matches the chill vibe of the bike. Nice!

To quote one of my Riv-minded west coast heroes,
"APPROVE!!"
Well done.

Bill,
Looks great!
Tell us more about the rear rack and "thumb screws".. I think it deserves its own post.

Tenth Diablo Summit of 2024 happened today. I've summited Diablo every month of the year and on ten different bikes. Today I rode the world's best road bike, my Ebisu All Purpose, and it was indeed the easiest of the ten, so far. The easiness of the climb probably had mostly to do with me taking it easy. I like to think that part of it was also that this time I did not have the handlebar tyrant of my GPS unit either. I recorded the ride with my watch, but didn't really look at it. It was more of a screen less experience ("raw-dog" as the tech recoiling kids put it). It was very smart of me to put my October summit off til now, because the first part of the month was blazing hot. Today it maxed out at 80, which is totally manageable.
Pics prove it:

Nice, Bill!
Agreed...They are Made for Fun (my husband saved the box with the apt sign and placed it appropriately)!
