Sorry, can't agree. The Roadeo is set up to maximize clearance with a standard reach caliper. Stretching it to bigger rubber would mean different brakes, and basically make it a slightly lighter Hilsen. Too much overlap there. IMO 28 - 33 mm is a sweet spot for a fast, comfortable, paved road, club-sport-not-quite-a-racing bike.
I've been thinking about having a custom frame built. Every time I take a stab at the geometry I'd want, then nudge it back to what can actually be built without running into clearance problems, I wind up with something that might as well be a Roadeo. As for what Riv should keep, IMO the core is: Roadeo Atlantis Homer Sam Anything else could rotate in and out of the batting order. Can one bike sit in the middle of the Hunq/Joe/Clem/Cheviot space as an affordable rough stuff / commuter / shopper / budget tourer / lowered top tube bike?
