Pre-Order - Rivendell - Lugged Roadini - Frameset

Please note: this is a pre-order. The estimated arrival time of the framesets is May 2026.  Pre-Orders are final - no refunds and returns.

The Roadini is an all-around, all-weather road bike. For riding on any road surface with day-ride loads and probably drop bars, it’s perfect. Albatross bars run a close second. The Roadini gives up nothing to modern extreme bikes on smooth, ideal roads, and is far better in every way when conditions are crappy. It has way more tire clearances of the oldies, higher quality overall construction, is more comfortable, and rides like a Rivendell.

BUILT FOR: Road riding of all kinds. Fitness rides, club rides, solo local loops, riding with friends who are also riding road bikes. 

ALL WEATHER: Easily fendered, so you can ride it all year long.
