seems like artisan framebuilders are at liberty to shave every gram they possibly can - Waterford probably doesn't have that luxury with the Roadeo. I only chimed in to comment that high quality lightweight steel bikes need not be babied - especially ones that fit 35mm tire! big tires like that makes things easier on the frame, wheels, etc. (not to mention the rider!). To me, the roadeo seems like nearly a perfect bike for hard ride that includes some mixed terrain (ride 33mm tires). it's obviously a great candidate for a rando/brevet bike (ride 30mm with fenders). or a club rider (ride 28s). it's a super bike and design. if I had the need, I'd be all over it! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
