When thou didst not, savage, know thine own meaning,
But wouldst gabble like a thing most brutish,
I endowed thy purposes with words that made them known.

A Sam with 42mm tires at 55 psi. Pure bliss on pavement.

... Ride lots of bikes - Rivendells if possible. Think carefully about what you want. Don't be afraid to try different things. Meditate on the differences. And most of all, practice patience if you are looking for a Ram.

Max, that's just a badass bicycle. Well done, sir.Jock

The other way to discover what you really want to ride is to buy a lot of bikes that sort of look like what you want (you are not sure what you want), upgrade them all, repeat several times as you try to perfect previously unrealized imperfections, then sell them at a loss. Do this for a couple of decades, then buy customs. This method costs a bit more than the other one.But yes, ride lots of Rivendells. All those I've owned (I bought 5 including a 2nd-gen Ram and kept one that will turn 25 in April) all had a certain common handling and "feel" in common. And I do think that a Ram, if you don't want to spring for a Roadeo, might well be what you are looking for.On Mon, Mar 4, 2024 at 7:39 PM Corwin Zechar <cz...@sonic.net> wrote:...

I really like the Rivendell approach to bikes and bike technology with the idea of a more upright posture and a long wheelbase for long rides at a comfortable pace, but it seems like the models all lean heavily to what they call "country bikes." I like to ride from my house, and that means riding almost exclusively on smooth (mostly) pavement. Can anyone suggest which models are better suited for road riding? Reading and comparing the descriptions, it seems that the Homer might be a good choice, or possibly the Appaloosa or Atlantis? Or the new Charlie Gallop, though I haven't heard much about how it is supposed to ride? I tried a Roadini (which I recently listed here and sold), but I think it was too big for me. I never felt comfortable on it. Maybe I just needed it in the right size.I would like the bike to work well with drop bars because of the multiple hand positions and they're just what I'm used to. I tried a bike with swept bars recently, but found I wasn't comfortable on longer rides. And when riding on streets with minimal shoulder width, I felt like I was going to catch the end of them on mailboxes or other obstacles. Maybe there's a handlebar in Rivendell's catalog that works well for road riding?I'd appreciate any comments, especially if someone does this type of riding and has tried several of these models. Thanks.Chuck
Worth noting: the Atlantis will be available later this year.
