I bought it from TPC recently (in 2021--maybe 6 months ago), hoping it was indeed a Roadeo, but after I got it, using the serial number I confirmed that Mark N. built it and confirmed that it wasn't a Roadeo, but somebody's Riv custom. I rode it for maybe three days, but although it fit me and feel really stable and was beautifully made, it felt less nimble than my Ram, and it just wasn't what I was hoping for.
To TPCs credit, they took it back and even paid the return shipping as they had mis-named it in their description. So it did go back up for sale recently I suspect. Anyone on this list pick it up?
