Bottom line, I screwed up selling my 60cm Ram, and I will not make the same
mistake with my 59cm Roadeo. The Roadeo is a fairly expensive non-custom
frameset, but it's a great design and the build quality and paint is
impeccable. And the geo is perfect for someone that just plain enjoys
riding
Dear John,
Their lug work is cleaner than their TIG welding (NB I have owned two
lugged Waterfords (a 2200 and a 2800) and three TIG Boulder Bicycles (an RS
and two ARs)). Marc's son is really, really good with silver. I probably
should have gotten my prototype Road Sport done with lugs.
Best
talk to Waterford directly They still seem to produce a lugged frame.
Do they want to manufacture tig only??

I imagine you could essentially order a Rambouillet or Rodeo as a custom and
get it fit to you.

My guess is that whatever plans Riv had did not align with Waterford's
production. Same with Boulder and Waterford.

This may be like the Toyo made Rambouillet and Saluki that were to "take a
nap" from which the never woke, or it may be a hiatus until suitable domestic
sources
It seems the Ram evolved into the AHH & SH & Roadini & the inclusion of
650B for the smaller frames.

It says 5-8 months, the last I heard was 9. Which explains why Riv/Grant has
virtually given up the Waterford frames business: There's just too much money
and time required of a buyer who might as well make the 'full custom Rivendell'
leap at that point. They're getting perfectly good bikes
Thanks for the link.

I think the lead time is longer than it states. Doubt you can get something
in 5months.
As an aside, didn't Boulder Bike stop taking orders because of Waterford
supply issues?

This link from the frame page seems to indicate the Rodeo can be a special
order.

>From what I understand, Waterford no longer has True Temper tubing. I still
see builders builiding with it (Chris Kelly, for instance) but I assume
this is old stock they have.
The new company in USA is Vari Wall (https://shop.vari-wall.com/)
I don't know where Waterford gets their tubing
On another subject, maybe with this switch to the Far East for
manufacturing, Riv could resurrect the Ram. Just a thought.

Allright. Here's what I am going to try. I am going to have Steve Rex (
actually Doug, his AAA mechanic ) buy some Compass 700x35 extra lights and
have Doug install them on my Williams' tubeless-ready wheelset. Down the
road I will buy a compressor ( just a tank) so I can get the beads set. My
John, I would guess it might have to do with costs and supply. I think true
temper moving out of bicycle business might've put a hiccup for them.
Boulder bicycles also halted their Waterford-built Boulder bikes program.

Do you think the problem with MUSA frames is just the cost or the ability
of Waterford to produce lugged frames. It could be a combination, high
cost, low demand, less vendor interest to commit resources.

I'm sure you still can, it's just not going to be promoted anymore because the
price and wait got too close to "shoot, I might as well buy a custom." I
predicted a good while ago that we would end up here, the production MUSA
frames just weren't making sense anymore.

Damn. Wish I had ordered one.

According to the geometry page it should fit 700x35:
