might find a ~27mm tire rather narrow and perhaps limiting, especially on a

Another enthusiastic vote for Showers Pass Elite and Refuge (and other
models) jackets as outer layers in cold/dry conditions. Winter riding in
western Colorado at 6000' of altitude is exceptionally comfortable, whether
it's snowing (which is basically dry conditions) or actually dry outside.

I'm aware of in Riv's lineup is the 46cm Appaloosa and I'll be surprised if
we see it again. The new 45 Clem dropped 26" for 650B this year.

I like my Showers Pass Elite jacket for cold weather and rain. Yes, it can
be vented under the arms and has a cape-like back vent for air flow. If I
don't open the arm vents, it can build up a little moisture, but nothing
that makes me cold. If it's super cold, I use a very heavy wool

The Roadini is a very nice looking bike, too. I hope this does not sound
superficial, but I enjoy the head badge, the decals, and the painted
cutouts on the seat lug more than if it were just 2 pounds lighter! Also,

I agree with Bill's take but I often do. I have the Roadini, Rambouillet

built up differently so hard to compare. The Roadini definitely reminds me

I know that if I were in the market for a top-level, light road bike I'd
certainly consider the Roadeo (700c wheels in my size, of course).

There are other factors that can make a bike seem sluggish other than the
frame. Honestly I think a good lightweight wheelset makes a huge
difference. And the tires themselves. Maybe the Gallop is different
because of geometry but I find mine super zippy and my build is lightish.
