I don't know about the Rodeo sales but there are a lot of Rambouillets, which was the preceding road bike. I run the 28 mm compass tires on mine and agree that it downhills absolutely fabulously. It's a great bike on any not too too rough a surface. I would add, however that my '84 Trek 620, which has a nearly identical geometry to the Ram but standard guage 531c tubes and now runs 38mm parimoto tires is every bit as good a ride and better on bad chip & seal or gravel roads.
