Roadeo finally ordered!

[RJM]

Well, I did it! 

 

I ordered a Roadeo frameset. 53cm Ram Orange with cream accents, threaded fork (going to use my Nitto lugged stem). When the custom raffle was going on, I bought a gift certificate just so I could get entered into the raffle. I didn't win, of course, so I am using the gift certificate on the Roadeo frame. This bike is going to be my club riding bike and faster solo ride bike and the set up is going to be more aggressive than my Sam Hillborne. I have some time to think about wheels/components and general setup which I am actually thankful for as I could use the time to get some money together. Brifters or barends?....hmmm. Can't wait for it though, it is going to be cool and a good compliment to my Sam!

Be sure to post photos and describe the ride. I rather suspect it will be a very good complement to the Sam, from my brief experience with a Sam. 

I am rethinking my earliest desire to build the Ram up as a gofast; it obviously fits more into the sports-touring category and so ought to be built up. Eventually, God willing, I'll have a Kojak wheelset and one with light 28 mm tires, tubs or clinchers.

Congrats!

Let us know how the ride is.

I haven't heard anyone review their Roadeo before. Interested to know how it feels diferent than a Sam.

You will love it.  I have owned mine for i think has been 3 years + now.  It is made in the USA, has wonderful lugs and I marvel at its beauty and ride quality.

When I first ordered it and was going through the build with Mark I wanted to put the Rolly Polly tires on it.  Mark said that the frame was designed for the 33.3333 JB's.  I was a little hesitant as I used the RP's on my previous Atlantis and Rambouillet and loved them.

When the bike showed up and took it out for its first few rides I fell in love with the JB's and have them on the SimpleOne also.

The gift cert buy was pretty cool idea. Either way you get a new bike!
