I got that one for a song on eBay. As pictured, that was one of the nicest riding bikes I owned and I have a little regret letting it go but it definitely had it's drawbacks. Clearances were tight going to 650b. 38mm tires were the absolute max and you could forget about fenders. There were

So the Ram actually belongs to my father but I've snuck in enough rides to still form a decent opinion despite different saddle preferences. Between the Ram and the Roadini unloaded, I would say the Roadini is a more lively, springy ride, most notably in the front end. I only weigh 130lbs so
