to be fair, my build is not particularly light. with my old style look pedals, the bike weighs 22.8 lbs. if i went with full record, threadless stem, light bars, light wheels, and some race saddle, it would be 18-19 lbs. but, i don't ride against a clock. on our club rides we go fast for short periods and then cruise (18-20mph on the flats). i chose my build for the old look( no carbon ) and total practicality and comfort. the bike weighs almost the same as my old ram, but handles slightly quicker and feels more responsive when climbing out of the saddle on short, steep hills. if i had a choice between a ram and a roadeo, i would choose the roadeo because it is a better match to my type of riding. i bought my ram because the "riv" fit really helped me to enjoy my rides with less back pain. the 59cm roadeo and the 60cm. ram are very similar in fit. it will take me some time to grow tired of this bike. don c.
