I am looking to try out a RivRoad bike and specifically, a 50 cm Roadini. I’ve been looking on my own, but no luck so far. I’d like one with drop bars, so I wouldn’t have to swap out the whole setup, as this likely isn’t a forever bike…it’s an experiment. But we’ll see. 

If you have one for sale, or if you see one for sale, would you help your RivSister out and tell me? 

Thanks always!
Leah

I'm sure we'll all try and keep our eyes peeled :)

Leah I am excited to hear this because I've been so curious about your strength and speed. If you can keep up with the 17-18mph group on your Platy I'd think you'd be faster than the fast groups on a road bike!

As a long time Friend Of Leah I take it as a personal affront that I haven't been able to find this bike for her yet, I've been searching like it's my JOB. Step up, people!

You guys are the best! Also, funny. Thanks for keeping your eyes peeled - with any luck, we’ll find one during riding season, and if not, there are Roadinis coming to Riv this fall. The Racing Platypus is still plenty up to the task, so I can be patient. 😉

I think C&L have a 47? Not sure how much difference their is compared to a 50 - other then 3cm.
Just a thought; how about a Roaduno?

The 47 is the previous geometry, I think. I compared the two on Bike Insights and there is quite a difference, more so than you'd think between the sizes. The 47 has much less stack and the top tube is about 4 cm shorter. I'd hold out for a 50 in the newer geometry if I were Leah. The newer models can handle wider tires too.
