Roadeo takes up to a 35 mm tire, while that Ram will accept a wider 37mm. (Both
sans fenders) I don;t have a 38 to try on my Ram but I
I missed this! lol...
I rank them as such:

Bombadil Hunqapillar
That puts the Hillborne in the middle.
I think the Amos would fall in between Ram and AHH.
Hadn't thought of it quite as such, but, interesting, that I have a
I do agree but would have it Hunqapillar then Bombadil

p.s. Where will the San Marcos be? Between Roadeo and Ram or between Ram
Leslie mused:
Roadeo, Rambouillet, A Homer Hilsen, Sam Hillborne, Atlantis, Bombadil,
Hunqapillar

I think it's more than OK to own more than one Riv. I think it is, in
fact, recommended.

The correct answer is an Atlantis (why are you not surprised?). No
worries off-road; hauls more junk than anyone should care to; and
wonderfully comfortable

Jim,
see cyclotourist's post above. I just swapped the Jack Browns and

A Hunk or Bombawith wide as possible tires and MTB gearing
44x32x22 chain rings and 12-32 cassette. If you use a Sugino crank get
the 46x36x24 and use the new Shimano 12-36 cassette. Whatever bar you
like but the Bullmoose style has good break lever ergonomics for down
hill stopping
See inserted comments.I think it's about even between the 2 basic
choices.

I don't disagree with the responses that you've received so far,
recommending the Hunqapillar, Bombadil, and Hillborne. Any of those
bikes would perform admirably in the conditions you describe and would
make great choices. Of those, I'd probably lean towards the Hunq/Bomba
for the increased tire
That terrain sounds ideal and beautiful. I agree with the CycloFiend.
Any Rivendell model would give great satisfaction, and be huge fun.
My first choice from your description was (of course) Quickbeam! If
you'd be pushing up the steepies anyway... If you like gears, the A.
Homer Hilsen or Sam
Surface, which you've mentioned is one consideration. Speed and weight
(both yours and gear) are the others.
And here's the somewhat boring truth: unless you are extreme in weight
or speed, or a bicycle connoisseur (and in which case you wouldn't be
asking on a list-serve in the first place) any

Great insights-
After too much reading, thinking, questing, that is exactly what I did - chose
the Hunq as my one all-rounder for comfort AND style - not trying to figure out
the PERFECT ride to suit all those SPECIFIC needs.

If you're nimble and on the lighter side, perhaps a Roadeo would fit
the bill, as it is the successor to the Legolas, with a few notable
changes like bb height and brake type. Mostly, I say this mostly
because I just want to plug Vaughn's Walking the Dog youtube video:
Make it easy-just get one of each!

Actually, this would make for a nice test... Assemble a blue ribbon
panel of riders (of varying size and weights, riding preferences and
styles), each performing a comparison ride of all the Rivs while
testing them over
I'm shocked, genuinely shocked, that you guys are tossing out these
recommendations without benefit of on the ground field research! How
can one possibly, in good conscience, recommend any Rivendell (with
the possible exception of the Atlantis, of course) without thoroughly
exploring ...3,500
Atlantis if you can ride a 56 (only because your tire options are
huge). It'll go anywhere you have the physical condition or the stones
to take it.
