yo!
Though I lack the kind of discipline to maintain a long term report out on anything, I'll give it a go with this new purple RoadUno. Presently I don't have plans to keep it "uno", but for a good long while that's what it'll be.

out of the box:


-- inspection by The Boss Lady, approver of such purchases --
No issues with the packaging & shipping. . . . well, UPS was a little bit difficult with delivery timing. But they got the year right!

-- out of the stand - waiting for cataract surgery restrictions to lift --
Out of the box impressions: beautiful paint. did Will recommend the right size? beautiful lugs. love the seat stay to seat tube joint. love it. that's what i call a head tube! zoinks, what'd i do here? i think i'll like the bars more than i was thinking i would. NITTO! love me some NITTO - bars, stem, seatpost...mmmm NITTO.... Dang! that's a taaaaaalll stem! where's my St. Jump sticker on my wheelset ? kickstand plate. kickstand plate...kickstand plate - aren't those for cheap schwinns? headset is tight. dang, beautiful paint.....

First Ride - 26 miles of dirt roads:
- eastern rattler bar tape from CampAndGoSlow
- flipped the bars and slammed the stem
- like my MKS pedals, but a little narrower than I was expecting. I see why the RivBike guys add the wing-things





Rides great. I don't have a Jan Heine hiney to tell you everything that's not perfect. I can say compared to my GUNNAR CrossHairs and my Surly SteamRoller, which can only clear a 38mm tire, these 43mm with this loooong chainstay frame and Brooks B17 -- felt lovely cruising the dirt roads with ruts and pot holes.
More to photos to come. Just received some spiffy new bottle cages to dress this up some more. Going to raise the seat a few mm. Adjust the bars a bit.

A few other comments posted elsewhere:
I'm digging the bars. I slammed the stem and then gave it 1mm clearance to the top lock nut. Then angle the bars and lever to clear the top tube for the first time the bike falls over at the pub.... I mean coffee shop.
Probably I raise the seat a few more mm, slam the seat all the way back, and slightly raise the bars so I can tilt the bars down a bit more.
Oh - the bars, I flipped them upside down.

Long city ride tomorrow. More impressions and photos then.
cheers.
