This is why I have held on to my 61cm AHH. I fall "in between" sizes and
thought of getting a 59cm Roadeo. I had the same conversation with Mark at
Riv and decide that there were more similarities than differences so it was
not a meaningful change. The e-mail exchange below:
Mark,
Hi. I
Speaking of such matters, there's a red 57 on Ebay. A demo that was on the Riv
site for a while.

I was at RBHQ in 2010 or 2011 and spoke with Kevin about the Rodeo. My
recollection is he said the tubing is basically the same on the 59cm and up
Rodeos and AHH. I ride smaller bikes so I didn’t pay much attention or think
much of it. I’m sure a quick call to Riv would sort this out.
Chris
Yes, I had noticed those differences too. Interesting indeed.

John, comparisons are difficult because my previous other bikes were standard
non OS frames that were a bit smaller. But the 61cm Roadeo doesn't feel noodly
at all to me. It's pretty solid on bumpy descents and I'm thankful for that. I
wouldn't want it less "solid" feeling when I'm bombing down
I agree, just trying to compare an OS frame with a STD frame

How does the Roadeo ride and planning compare with your other 61cm frames,
not considering the weight??

I'm with you on this. The Roadini frameset in a medium size was reported
to weigh 7.75 lbs. The top tube is said to be .9/.7/.9 and the

You could email to ask Grant directly.
The only statement I have seen is from Grant in that cyclofiend interview
where he said Roadeos are 6/4/6. He didn't mention if anything differed
among sizes there. Just that Roadeos are 6/4/6.
But if someone has a quote on the fact that bigger sizes are
This is an interesting discussion. Based on what I can tell, RBW has not
(ever?) attributed the stoutness of their frames as a contributing factor
to how "fast" they are. They mention things like fitness, strength, rider
position and comfort as the contributing factors. They have always
Regardless of anything else it’s this homogeneity - or the perception of it -
that typifies the most recent MIT offerings. I wonder how much differently a
modern MIT Sam/Homer (merged in the MIT transition) rides than a modern MIT
Atlantis/Hunq (merged in the MIT Transition)?
Then again - Riv
That would be a real shame if the Roadeo was stretched and stoutened.
There's a strange and increasing homogeneity happening with Rivbikes that
has gobbled up nearly all of their models. I don't really understand the
point of having half a dozen products that are more or less identical.
For
I wholeheartedly agree. Grant, don't stouten up the Roadeo; do that to the
Roadini, or let the Roadeo be a special order like the Legolas. Even
Rivendell needs one bona fide gofast model.
And don't put no stinking rack bosses on it, either.
Amen.

Yeah, that sounds like a lugged Roadini to me. They don't need one, the MIT
Roadeo should be the exact same lugged bike, just cheaper.

That would be disappointing, the whole point of the Rodeo is to be a faster
model in the line-up. Oversized tubing is already stiffer, you don't need a
beefier/thicker model, you already have that in AHH. I have a Homer it's
great, but it's designed for a different kind of riding than a Rodeo.
