actually, my old Peugeot PX-10 is my wonderful bike that does really look
like a beater with its crappy 40 year-old paint; it's my stealth bike

I purchased one of the demo Roadeos earlier this year.
I'm not a roadie (I was a mountain biker as a kid and have always been more
of a bum around for fun / transportation type of bike guy). But I'm also
fairly thin and wirey for my height, so I liked the Roadeo's lighter tubing

I bought my Roadeo after my first orange Ram was smooshed (with me on it)
by a careless driver. It's so nice that I keep it for fast Sunday rides.
My everyday rides are on a replacement orange Ram and the proto Rom. I
run all of them on Compass 30-32 tires and slightly different drive trains
FWIW, but from my own experience with Kojaks and the BQ tests on the R
Tuffys, you might want to consider a Compass tire for something a bit
narrower. IME, the Kojaks roll pretty well, and I'm not sure the RTs would
be an improvement.
*And,* the Kojaks are very flat resistant for the quality of
oh man that's a beauty. Since you have a stable I vote for as is.

I guess I have sort of the same issue with my 2001 custom Road which is
fenderless right now. I won't commute to work on it because where I work,
there's quite the rogue's gallery of people lurking around "shopping" for
bikes and/or parts. But though I'm certainly not a fast clubby rider, I
Add a set of lighter, alloy fenders, saddle bag of your choice and sell off
bikes that duplicate. I have my 61cm AHH down to 24.9lbs with fenders,
lights, dyno hub and fenders. I am using 38mm tires. It is light enough to
feel fast and not overly heavy while climbing. The fenders and lights
We sell about 40 a year--laughable by some standards, but it's one a week

Don, I believe I've got one of your old Roadeos, actually -- recently
acquired by way of Bruce S -- and I'm loving it so far. Currently, I'm
running the 700x35c Kojaks it came with, but am thinking of switching to
some slightly skinnier Compass tires or even some Ruffy Tuffys (I too am a
I don't know about the Rodeo sales but there are a lot of Rambouillets,
which was the preceding road bike. I run the 28 mm compass tires on mine
and agree that it downhills absolutely fabulously. It's a great bike on
any not too too rough a surface. I would add, however that my '84 Trek
