>From what I understand, it was and early Hilsen and was built by Waterford. I'm definitely going to noodle with the Ergon grips. I think I might have them oriented too vertically as you mentioned.
As for comparisons to the Roadeo...let's see. The Roadeo is a really wonderful bike and is much more versatile than the write-up on Riv's site gives it credit for. It performed relatively well on the dirt or gravel trails with the Jack Browns it was shod with. But it's most definitely a road race bike. A comfortable one, but still a road race bike. It's lighter and jumpier...and handles exactly how that type of bike should. The Hilsen is more stable, more relaxed. And fits my riding style much better. It also handles a bit more confidently off-road (though I do have wider knobbies on the Hilsen vs. the Jack Browns on the Roadeo, so that has something to do with it). Hope that all made a modicum of sense. I'm been traveling all day and my brain feels like mush.
