Don't know about the Ram but I believe the Roadeo is a little thinner gauge. Go for it. Chris Kostman's Roadeo is used all over, so I'm sure a Ram can handle it too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

so what are tubing thicknesses for the Ram, are they heavier? I am seriously thnking of making a Ram-olas ( or is it Leg-bouillet) as I am not a caliper brake person. I seem to recall that the tubing thickness increased with larger sizes, starting at 58. ~Mike On Apr 15, 8:13 pm, "Jim M." wrote: > There were 3 runs of Legolas.

There were 3 runs of Legolas. The first 30 were by Nobilette, and then 2 runs from Waterford. Mark and Grant both said there are "around 80" total. As for tubing, the Legolas and Roadeo have the same tubing for top and seat tubes, fork blades and chain stays. The Legolas downtube is slightly heavier at .7/.5/.7 vs .65/.45/65 for the Roadeo. Yeah, I was surprised by how light those tubes are too. jim m wc ca On Apr 14, 10:01 am, CycloFiend wrote: > on 4/13/11 1:03 PM, Jim M. at mather...@gmail.com wrote: > > > I thought it was closer to 100 because, IIRC, there was a 2nd run.

Pictures of these are really hard to come by for some reason. I stared at the red one had on the specials page for months, kept looking at that picture of the RCP one that Phillip had put up, finally called Riv and ended up with my Roadeo. I would think they could sell boat loads of these, especially if they threw a few eyelets on. On the other hand my Roadeo will still clear a 35-37 mm tire and the caliper brakes are a cinch to set up Rob - http://oceanaircycles.com/ On Apr 12, 1:38 pm, "Jim M." wrote: > Martin started a Legolas group > here:http://www.flickr.com/groups/legolas/members/ > > Only 3 lonely Legolas (Legoli?) so far, including the only 2 copper > colored ones.
