I don't think so. The Rambouillet has about 5mm less of the exact same tubing per fork end; which makes it less adaptable, should you decide to switch back to larger tires. http://search.bikelist.org/getmsg.asp?Filename=saluki.10502.0058.eml I'd strip it down, build a relatively light wheelset and use great tires if I wanted a dedicated go-fast bike.
