I'd be curious to ride a Roadeo at some point.. been mildly interested in a Roadini, but I guess not enough to hit the buy button.. had an orange Ram (was a bit of grail bike for me) a couple years ago and never got used to it, even though it should have been my size it still felt a bit long (and maybe low, but more long)..
also, I just can't imagine a go-fast drop bar bike without STI shifters.. the only bike I have that doesn't have them is my Hilsen and I've thought several times of putting them on (have indexed bar ends now).. ridden a couple bikes with DT shifters (and RB2 for one) and have zero use for them.. but I didn't grow up on them, so YMWV..
