i don't have any facts to back this up, but i think that the roadeo is doing quite well. the "homer" is the star of rivendell, period. country bike, that can be used for many purposes. living in the san joaquin valley and basically, a club rider, the roadeo fits me. and, i still have that rivendell handling. the "homer" and the "atlantis" are their stellar examples of the riv thing, but the roadeo is a slight variation of this theme, and a very good one. when i picked up my roadeo frameset, i was bs'ing with a hilsen owner that was really excited about his new roadeo purchase. he uses his hilsen for commuting( fendered ) and was going to use the roadeo for his weekend club rides. bottom line, i think that grant and company hit the nail on the head with their promotion of the roadeo. don c.
