If you want a really really nice and super affordable road frameset, consider the road frame from Black Mountain Cycles in Point Reyes Station. It's not as fancy as the Roadeo, but takes wider road tires like a Roadeo and/or takes fenders with medium sized road tires. It's an absolute steal a

Oh boy Mike, I can give you a bunch of info! The bike I had when I got my first Hillborne was a 59cm Surly Steamroller. My saddle height on the Surly was 77.5cm. On my Sam it's 78cm. I am 6'1" and my pbh is 88cm. I have a wide, stocky build, and my arms are pretty average length. I'm not a knuck

It should be pointed out that a whole lot more goes into making a bike a "go fast" than just the frame and fork. Roadeo's are fast because they are often built with fairly lightweight parts, especially wheels. If you end up going for for the San Marcos, especially in a smaller size like your,
