Compared to what came later, the only functional "drawback" of the Ram is tire clearance, and it's not really a drawback compared to the rest of the world. The Ram can ONLY take 700x33.33333's without fenders.
Rivendells evolved since the Ram's inception in 2001, and both AHH and Roadeo beat out the Ram in tire/fender clearance. But necessarily in awesomeness. -----Original Message----- >From: Rambouilleting Utahn <glam...@gmail.com> >Sent: Apr 11, 2012 10:41 AM >To: RBW Owners Bunch <rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> >Subject: [RBW] Re: Where does the Rivendell Rambouillet fit in with other Rivs? > >Jim (Cyclefiend and keeper of this list) has the a very good page on >the Ram on his website > >http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/rambouillet/index.html > >If I remember correctly the AHH compared to the Ram has slightly >stouter tubing, wider clearance for tires and fenders (built around >the Silver brake) and a few other differences. > >Regarding the rack mounts the later Rams had rack mounts midway down >the fork, not sure about midway down the seat stays.
