Hi everyone, I am searching for a new bike. I currently have a go-fast(ish) bike, a Bob Brown custom, which can fit a tire no larger than 23 X 700. I also have a Trek 520 Touring bike from the early 1990s. I am searching for a bike to fit between these two models.
Years ago I nearly purchased a Rivendell Rambouillet (I got the Bob Brown instead), so I have a sentimental attachment to that bike. Every now and then a Ram appears here on the list or on ebay - I always find these listings to be very tempting. However, I wonder how much difference there is between a used Ram and a new San Marcos. The paint finish and headbadge of the bikes do differ, but how much do the ride qualities differ? At this point, is it a better value to invest $900 in a used Rambo frame or $900 in a new San Marcos? Thanks for your thoughts.
