Lots of great input. Thanks! According to Riv's sizing chart I'm right between a 57 and a 59. I bought Homer used, so I didn't have much choice. On the plus side, it was local, like new and reasonably priced. I have no regrets about buying it and after alot of tweaking I think the fit is just about right. The 7cm stem is probably not ideal and I am a little leery about squeezing the 135mm rear triangle around a 130mm hub. I'm not fixated on weight, but I was very surprised at how much different the lighter wheelset felt. I've considered the Ram (there's a sweet 58cm orange one on ebay right now), but I thought it might be too similar to the Homer. Ideally I would test ride a Ram & Roadeo side by side to be able to form my own opinions, but there's little chance of that happening, so I'm relying on the collective wisdom of the group. Thanks, Ken
