Hi Jeff
I have one bike's worth on my Atlantis. They set up easier than versions
from 25 years ago. They stop well with Tektro levers. The front is grabby,
I don't know if it is the pads or the rim surface? But no problem
stopping, easy set up, look classy.

I tend to agree with Mr Lindsay. Having both, but keeping one, the ride is
very similar between the BMC Road and Roadeo. And agree, aesthetics and
build quality differ, but the BMC Road for a tig welded bike looks pretty
nice. I retained the 62 cm BMC, the 61 cm Roadeo went to Mr "can you help
