There’s no reason to go skinnier than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Roadini, like all of our bikes, comes in nice colors and has pleasing graphics that aren’t afterthoughts. Bikes should look friendly, not mean, serious, and generic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Roadini is CrMo steel, frame and fork. Steel allows pleasing-to-the-eye proportions, is tough and cannot fail suddenly (and is safe for that reason). Steel weighs more, but the frame weight is a tiny percentage of the rider+bicycle weight. Your Roadini frame should last you 30 years. We make no claims, but that’s the idea, and we have lots of experience going into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Roadini is now fully lugged and the fork is as nicely curved, crowned, and detailed as any Rivendell fork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Roadini uses rim brakes, which are more powerful and more sensitive than disc brakes.

With a std vertically centered hole, both numbers would be 9.5mm. You want that extra 3.5mm to be air, not fork crown, so when you try to stuff a slightly bigger tire or a fender under there, it hits air and fits and rolls on through. it’s not jammed up against the underside of the fork crown. It's basic, not so hard to understand, but I've never seen a low-offset hole on any crown that wasn't ours, and that is insane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"tmblr-full\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/68.media.tumblr.com\/53e33445c0fd332f1b7c40863d781a1a\/tumblr_inline_omgvl5dcby1qdvnvk_540.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ball-and-socket seat stay joint eliminates shear forces and adds strength.

Admittedly, it’s not a common occurrence, but we’ve seen it happen on other bikes half a dozen times. We make it maximally crack-resistant on our seat lugs because our showroom bikes get tightened and loosened and retightened with ever test ride, every slight difference in saddle height. On your bike, maybe you’ll do it a few times in the fussing, so our O-hole is overkill, but it’s also a nice visual detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"tmblr-full\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/68.media.tumblr.com\/da5e2c93bbaf2f9b3f10f55791857d79\/tumblr_inline_omgzmcyK2p1qdvnvk_540.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seat binder area is reinforced with unpinchable steel. As with the O-hole, it makes our lug impervious to repetitive stress. And if for whatever act-of-god reason you lose your seat binder bolt, you can easily (even you) rig one up using hardware store hardware --a threaded bold M6 or M5 diamters, a mating nut, and perhaps a few washers. Or you can clamp the binder shut with a Vise Grip, with (perhaps) minor damage to the paint, but none to the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use the same binder on all of our bicycles, and it is the best and most practical in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"khx","offers":[{"title":"47cm \/ Lime-Olive","offer_id":53050917814383,"sku":"Roadini24GRN-48","price":1750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"47cm \/ Hi ho silver","offer_id":53050917847151,"sku":"Roadini24SLVR-48","price":1750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"47cm \/ Dark Gold","offer_id":53050918502511,"sku":"f-Roadini25-gold-47","price":1750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"47cm \/ Periwinkle","offer_id":53050918535279,"sku":"f-Roadini25-peri-47","price":1750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1403\/7343\/files\/lugged2024Roadini-15_36e51fb4-09c6-493b-895d-298a75d5e753.jpg?v=1731097093","url":"https:\/\/www.rivbike.com\/products\/frame-47cm-roadini-backstock","provider":"Rivendell Bicycle Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
