[RBW] Rambouillet vs. Roadeo?
Please only those who have ridden both: I own a blue Ram. Gonna be any noticeable ride diffs if I get a Roadeo? I do road riding with light loads. Just wondering if worth getting one or if it is virtually the same experience.

[RBW] Rambouillet vs. Roadeo?
Depends on the wheels/tires and cockpit IMHO. I run lighter wheels, narrower tires and brifters on my Roadeo so it feels it bit more lively than my Toyo Ram. Blindfolded, I’d be hard pressed to tell the difference. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I want to watch that blindfolded test ride where you try to tell the difference.

Re: [RBW] Rambouillet vs. Roadeo?
I set up my Ram 650b/front rack/fenders and used it as a long distance Randonneur bike, and it worked great for that function. I set up the Roadeo with no racks or fenders as a go fast club rider and supported rides. The ride is very similar, but I did notice that the Roadeo seems slightly more responsive to handlebar input compared to the Ram. --The other point I noticed is that the top tube is shorter. I set up the cockpit similarly with the Ram vs Roadeo (I didn't use a longer stem with a shorter top tube). With the slightly shorter top tube, it makes the drops more comfortable on the Roadeo because the bars are closer. I think the drops on the Roadeo are my favorite position on the bike, while I probably rode more on the hoods of the Ram or at the curves at the top of the bar.
