Moots Vamoots RSL = AWESOME
I rode the Solvang Spring Double on my Moots Vamoots RSL with the Lightweight Obermayer rear wheel and Lightweight VR8 front wheel, and using the SRM Cannondale Hollowgram SL power meter. This was my very first serious ride with the bike completely built as envisioned.
I can’t praise the Moots Vamoots RSL or the wheels enough for the superb ride quality and power transfer and handling. It is my favorite bike for short or long rides, light enough at 14.8 pounds to be my race bike, and titanium never goes out of style.
I had repeated compliments of “nice Moots!!!” at every stop and also while riding. Which is no surprise, since the Moots Vamoots RSL is stunning. And it is also highly durable titanium and 14.8 pounds as built. Crash it, then keep riding, unlike carbon fiber, which has a risky potential for hidden failures once crashed (weakened carbon fiber can fail without warning).
The ultralight Selle Italia saddle worked great, even though it has little padding.
I credit the Ritchey SuperLogic II handlebar (double wrapped) with a terrific ergonomic shape for comfort on such long rides; it affords several comfortable hand positions. Highly recommended. I also use it on my Moots Psychlo X RSL cyclocross bike.
