ROADINI SERGIO

 

Rivendell Roadini, Sergio Green, 57.

It's always hard to put a feeling into words, but the closest I would discribe how this bike feels and rides is like watching backcountry snowboarding in real deep snow, flowing through trees.

these tires feel like they wouldn't exist, like riding on your bare tubes.
