Roadini vs Roaduno (besides initial config)

[Nicolas H]

Hi all,

First time poster and riv owner here (lugged Roadini). I've been researching deeper into the Riv lineup and am trying to discern what the differences are between the Roadini and Roaduno. I see you can add derailleurs to the Roaduno so I'm curious what any other fundamental differences there are in the frames?

Also, any Roadini riders here take their bikes off-roading? Any concerns or things I should be worried about if I do the same with light gravel, roughish fire roads? 

Thanks!

-Nic

Roaduno is a Homer with 120mm rear spacing intended for singlespeed hubs. There are many variations of adding gears because you can mount a tensioner or rear derailleur, plus there's one dt boss to facilitate a shifter. I can't say much about the differences between Homer and lugged Roadini other than I believe Roadini has shorter chainstays.

I regularly treat my Roadini the way others treat their mountain bikes. It rides better than my hard tail.

If anything I'd say the Roadini is overbuilt for someone my weight (140 pounds)

Piaw - do you ever think about a Gallop? Just wondering. I know you love the Roadini, but if its overbuilt, the Charlie would be nice…

Nope. I have a custom touring bike that I mostly ride on the road and for light off road. The Roadini right now is on loan to my (heavier) brother while his custom bike is being built.

I'm about 170 and ride my roadini on some pretty rough terrain also and its been fine!

Whoa nice! Yeah I was just imagining doing some looser gravely roads so I should be able to put this thing through its paces then. Thanks all!

That's a great shot...reminds me of those photos of the early days of MB pioneers...and Chris Kostman and underbiking from BOB gazettes. Not surprised that the Roaduno, in the hands of a skilled rider is up to the job.
