95 Road (the level TT before the Standard model came out) and the Ram are great
riding road bikes. Never had a Rom but the Ram is nowhere close to mushy.

Wow, the 60 cm Kogswell P's geometry is identical to my old blue 60 cm
Rambouillet.

For what it's worth, I've found my romulus to be a nice, quick road bike
that can do a little bit more. Great handling, comfortable geometry and

I would say the Ram went in two directions, and not terribly far in either:
The AHH, and the Rodeo. The main difference with the AHH is bigger tires,
though it may be that even the Rodeo can clear more than the Ram. The Rodeo
chainstays are about the same as Ram, but ever so slightly steeper
I can totally sympathize with price increase woes. A great steel frameset
will outlive ANY of us, though, so it's still a bargain. If you know
you'll get bored and dump it far sooner and care more about re-sale value,
wait for a used one.

The Road Standard had smaller tire clearance due to short-reach brakes.
The Roadeo specs medium-reach brakes, and it will fit a 700 x 36 tire
comfortably.
My Road Standard also has upper rack eyelets on the seat stays, where the
Roadeo does not. Of course, you can mount a rear rack to the Roadeo

Totally true Bill, and the Roadeo is a lovely bike. Thing is, a bare Roadeo
frame costs $800 more than the Romulus did as a complete bike.
Some of that is inflation, sure, but looking at the complete Sam for $2,500
the bare Roadeo frame sure seems expensive at $2,250. Probably out of reach

What could you do on a Rambouillet that you can't do on a Roadeo? In my
mind, those two models are functionally identical, and you can buy a Roadeo
if you want a Rivendell and want a 'not-dumb' stripped down road bike.
Rivendell also selling country bikes has not displaced the nice road bike.

I do love my P60, its on my "do not ever sell" list. I wouldn't say the
lugs were unique though, they were the Kirk Pacenti OS carving blanks, they
were just uncarved.
Great riding bike though. I can fit 32's, 28's with fenders. It was
from an earlier Riv-influence era. Fancier, faster
Hey All,
I owned a second gen Model P and also a Romulus. I found the Romulus to be
over tubed. There must also be some differences in the tubeset because the
Rom felt mushy when pushed hard compared to the Model P and other similar
steel road frames I have owned. The Model P was a kick in the
What happened to Kogswell, indeed!? I recall surfing into there website a
few years ago and it was defunct. Not sure exactly when or why they pulled
the plug, but it was a shame.

I remember when those came out. Wasn't there a kerfuffle over the name (or
proposed name)? What happened to Kogswell?

I have a P58 for sale with new paint from Chris Kvale. Built after paint
rode three times unbuilt because I decided to stick with 650b. I also had a
Ram 58. I really liked both but I really like 650b. more. The difference
between the two was small,very small to someone like me.

There was a bike shop in the Northwest that had a batch of Ps painted in
their own color. Those blues ones were killer.
Matthew Grimm was a character for our times.

Those were lovely frames. I could not afford them at the time. I'm sure
production costs increased but if those were offered again, at those
prices, they'd sell really well.

The ride/handling is very similar from what I remember.
