I'll be very interested to hear your riding impressions of the Legolas compared to the Roadeo. I've owned a Ram and wanted a Roadeo, but I've heard that the Roadeo is pretty darn close to feel and handling of the Ram, but that the Legolas is the lightest and most "racy" bike of the lot.
I'd be interested in learning how its tubes compare with those of Ram and Roadeo, and even more important, how it handles compared to the other 2.
