Yeah, that covers it. Grant's been about maximizing brake clearance ever
since he started Riv. The all 'rounder with canti brakes concept has
always been part of it, and with each longer-reach sidepull that's been
introduced, Rivendell has introduced an appropriate frame. The Heron road
was
Ah, darn! I made one of those catastrophic typos. The quote below is supposed
to say: NOT necessarily in awesomeness! In other words, while it lacks one
functional element of the other two models, the Ram still might be the most
awesome for me.

Jim (Cyclefiend and keeper of this list) has the a very good page on
the Ram on his website
http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/rambouillet
You can put the 73 mm Tektro brakes on a Ram, with pads at the top of the slot.
Somebody said the Roadeo is much lighter, but I doubt that much lighter is
more than a couple ounces (part of which is DT shifter bosses). Most Rams had
what I would describe as sport-touring componentry. Put
So, how does the Ram compare with the Roadeo in fast pavement performance?
Would someone who wants a (1) 700c, (2) light-ish, (3) derailleur
Rivendell for fast-ish road riding be better off with a Roadeo or a
Ram? I realize that the Ram is no longer made, so we are comparing a
new Roadeo with a
out the Ram in tire/fender clearance. But necessarily in awesomeness.

Big-sized Roadeos have same tubing thickness as Ram.

From what I recall ( having owned a Ram) that the Ram and Hilsen were both
made from the same wall thickness tubing ( 8-5-8). The Roadeo has
thinner tubing from what I read
In the largest size (size region where the OP is interested), the Ram and
Roadeo are pretty similar: Same angles in seat and head tube, same toptube, 1
cm different in chainstay, 4 mm different in BB drop, not sure of the trail,
but I'll be they are similar.

Do you have those spec from the Ram handy?
Not that it matters. I rode it, loved it.
