>From what I recall ( having owned a Ram) that the Ram and Hilsen were both 
made from the same  wall thickness tubing  ( 8-5-8).  The Roadeo has 
thinner tubing from what I read. The Hilsen had better tire clearances. My 
Ram would only barely  fit a Jack Brown in front w/o fender. The back would 
fit a 37mm Pasela.  Some of the last Ram's had mid fork braze on's too. 
It was a great riding bike, the lack of clearance in front led to me 
selling it.
