Niobium is element 41, a transition metal. It was previously called columbium, but the name change was some time ago. Niobium bike tubes are steel with a wee bit of niobium alloyed in. It presumably changes the properties of the steel in some way I can't be bothered to worry about. -- Mark "viva chemistry" Anderson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Quite a difference between Grant/Riv and Specialized.

I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you! Has the Alex Ram been mentioned here before and I missed it? I would have thought it would get mentioned more often.

Re: [RBW] Re: MIT Roadeo coming?
I'd be interested to hear from others who have ridden both: does the Roadeo ride differently from the Ram and, if so, how? One earlier respondent said that the Roodeo was slightly quicker in handling and felt more spritely. I'd buy a Roadeo if this were true; I've owned a Ram, and though a worthy bike, it was a wee bit sedate for my use of it (that is, I wanted a true "road bike" and not at all an all rounder or tourer.)
