I am a proud Roadeo owner. I had owned a Ram. And, I have test driven a Hilsen at Rivendell Bicycle Works. Mine is a 59cm. While my Roadeo is not a light bike, its fits right in my club rides. The handling is superb and very stable on fast downhills. It feels very similar to my Ram but is slightly more responsive and can handle wider tires. The Hilsen felt very familiar, but just a little less responsive. To me, the Hilsen is better suited to rides requiring fenders and some light carrying capacity (country bike?).
