rivendell gravel bike Frame - Roaduno 2024*Note: We do not have any 47. 5cm frames, but we do have them as completes here. It's the most useful, and fun non derailer'd bicycle (or frame) we can imagine. We named it Roaduno to emphasize that it's for roads. Smoothish paths, no problem if you have the skills for them like the Homer in that way. The sidepull brakes should tell you it's not a mountain bike. It's as versatile and as customizable as a single ish speed road bike can be: Fits tires

It's the most useful, and fun non-derailer'd bicycle (or frame) we can imagine. We named it Roaduno to emphasize that it's for roads. Smoothish paths, no problem if you have the skills for them--like the Homer in that way. The sidepull brakes should tell you it's not a mountain bike.

It's as versatile and as customizable as a single-ish speed road bike can be:

• Fits tires to 46mm (43mm with a fender). Any tire bigger than 40mm requires some deflation to install and remove, but that was no reason to not design in clearance for bigger tires.
• Braze-ons for racks (and fenders), and of course has a kickstand plate.
  
• Rear facing dropouts, for normal 1x1 single speed set-ups, but with an integrated derailer hanger, so you can use chain tensioner and a front derailer to set it up as a 2x or even 3x1. Or use a chain tensioner and leave the front derailer off and just shift by hand when you get to the hill. 
• There's a downtube shifter braze-on on the non-driveside downtube, for easy front derailer set ups. If you plan to set it up as a 1x1 singler, we recommend covering the boss with a Blue Lug Boss cover. Grease it, otherwise it'll be hard to get off after a couple years.

Sizes: 47.5, 51 (650B), and 54.5, 58, 61.5, 64 (<--all 700C).  See geometry table here.

Frame & fork: Our standard super-quality, butted CrMo tubing of our own design. Our own lugs, fork crown, dropouts. Same painter as always, same lug-fill cream details, nice metal head badge, excellent graphics, etc.  The fork crown is the same one we use on the Appaloosa.

Fits tires: 42mm with fender, 46mm without.

Brakes: Long Reach Calipers. Use Tektro R559's, Paul Racer Long Reach, or Yokozuna LR75's

Rear hub spacing: 120mm. You need a track hub or a pre-1975 road hub.

Bottom Bracket: BSA, 68mm shell.

Seatpost size: 26.8, and there's one included

What's included in the frame price? An FSA Duron headset, a Kalloy seatpost, and a 110mm Shimano BB. 

Any frame prep required? Yes, if you plan to use a tensioner the hanger needs to be aligned. Any bike shop can do it quickly, or, if you have the tool, it takes about five minutes.
