I'd call the Black Mountain a low cost Roadeo. Fits similar. Rides similar. It's nowhere near as beautiful, and well crafted aesthetically, but I consider it functionally equivalent. Having one of each in my collection (which I do) only "makes sense" if I'm going to keep them at different locations (which I do). My Black Mountain Road lives at my mom's house. I can grab it off the hook and rip off a 20 - 120 mile ride and it's like an old friend. The Black Mountain Road is different from the Leo in exactly the ways the Roadeo is different from the Leo.
Another way to represent the difference in attitude that I've used before and that a couple listers found useful is this: On the Roadeo and on the Black Mountain Road, I feel a little bit weird if I'm not wearing racing kit. On the Leo, I felt a little bit weird if I was wearing racing kit. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Saturday, January 11, 2020 at 9:00:18 PM UTC-8, ted wrote: > > Thanks Bill. Could you also expound on how the black mountain road (not > plus) relates to the Roadini and Roadeo? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
