Paong, I agree, for frames of 54cm and smaller, 650B allows better angles without TCO. If this was the only factor, then the AHH progression of 650B to 700C would be the "logical" choice. But not everyone is a "Spock", so many models seem to co-exist and must fulfill some folks requirements.

The Boulder can fit 32mm, maybe 33, no room for fenders nor does it have fender mounts. The Roadeo is built around the 33.3 Jack Brown, had fender mounts. 28mm with fenders will work well. On Friday, September 29, 2017 at 8:24:03 PM UTC-4, John Hawrylak wrote: > > I thought the Roadeo was

The larger sized Roadeos (59 and above I think) have similar gauge tubing to the AHH. The sizes smaller than that use lighter-than-AHH tubing. I have a 61 cm Roadeo and like it a lot, but realize that I could have had a more versatile bike in an AHH without having sacrificed much. -- You

Only GP knows that ! Maybe it's not a big seller, and redesigns would be required for 650b frames. If it's deemed not worth it, keep as is. Plus, it's meant to compete with modern carbon racing frames, and as far as I know there are few, if any 650b road racing bikes. -- You received this

I think the tubing of the Roadeo is lighter. Others can confirm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to
