My current bike is a Ram, but I'm thinking about a custom Ebisu for my
next frame.

Excellent question! (you mean Roadeo vs Ebisu Road, right?
There seems to be very little feedback out there on the Ebisu Road.
Most of what I found is related to the Ebisu All-Purpose. I'd love to
hear from someone who owns an Ebisu road model.
That said, what I have read says that Jitensha
$2k for a Riv/Waterford Roadie or $1.5k for a Ebisu Road. Discuss
I have no first hand experience, and Riv final geometry isn't
published, but here's how available (to me) info says they differ:
Roadeo: USA made, Ebisu, Japan made
Geometry: Roadeo has slightly longer chainstays (say 430 cm

Maybe because you can only get it from Jitensha Studios.
A year or two ago a woman from Berkeley CA wrote on the BOB list asking
about a good bike shop in her area. I told her
I covet an Ebisu. I'd love to dive into Hiroshi's idiosyncrasies.
That being said, Grant's designs are dependable and rather wonderful
in terms of ride quality. It will be fun to jump onto a Roadeo one
day to see how it feels.

On Wed,
I own 4 bikes. My favorite is my Rambouillet, but the one I end up
putting the most miles on is the Ebisu All Purpose. It's better for
bad roads and hauling stuff which is what I do most days.
BTW, my cycling season, which began quite late after foot surgery
seems to be ending early with

I have owned two Romulus' and now have an Ebisu All Purpose, and my
wife just got a road model. I think for me the main difference is
tubing--where the Romulus had oversized down tube and top tube, and
Ebisu can be had with standard (25.4 or 28.6) tubes. The ebisu road is
certainly sportier than
I don't have an Ebisu, but I did buy an early Waterford Riv Road from
Hiroshi at Jitensha Studios back in the late 90s. I believe Hiroshi
had bought at least 2 (there was a tall rose pink one and a light blue
one) early Rivs when Riv was starting out. Also, I first saw a Riv
catalog at Jitensha
Change the wheels and crank. You already have a great frame.

roadeo is much
more flexible than the ebiso road.don
