The remarks on this thread about the Ram being slightly quicker in handling -- I take it that this means that the Ram is slightly quicker to turn into a corner -- are very interesting. I found the handling on my 58 cm Ram quite nice, but a wee bit slower in the turn than I cared for, one reason I sold it. The Ram was impeccably stable: think, coasting down a hill at 35+, and sitting up, taking your left hand off the bar, and looking over your left shoulder. Rock solid. But it felt to me a wee bit slow in the turn. (FWIW, my Ram was shod with 29 mm Parigi Roubaix.)
I've heard others say that the Roadeo is slightly quicker than the Ram; I'd love to try a Roadeo.
