What is the equivalent in production now?

What was the Ram purpose then? All-rounder? Road?
 

I like Rambouillet bikes. Wish they would start making them again.

 

I like the head tube lugs and the badge, too.

I don't know. Just very regal looking road bikes.

This is in no way mean to be dickish but I would say do a search within the actual groups page. I have been a member of the list for over a year and this has been covered a few times in just that span. Might be easier than asking people to re-hash it again. Just to repeat, this is in no way mean to be a jerk reponse. I often search the list as opposed to working, haha.

No problem. Understood.
Actually, what I should have done was to check the brochure on Jim's site.

"...I often search the list as opposed to working, haha."

You get an "A" for 'makes good use of time".

As to searching the archives, go back a couple of years (maybe more?)
to a thread entitield "Is the Ram the perfect bike" or may have been
"...perfect Riv". It was quite extensive, lively and really full of
good stuff about not only the Ram but lots of Rivs. As I recall, it
got into lots of detail about subtle differences. Check it out.

It's a road bike which takes tires big enough to go trail riding on..similar to the original LongLow. I had its slightly less costly twin, the Romulus. I'm not sure it would be ideal for heavily-loaded touring, but anything short of that - including singletrack where mountain bikers look at you like you're crazy (been there) - is fair game. If you ever find one in your size..BUY IT.

Blue, 56, would be mine, as long as the wife was ok with it.

If I remember correctly, back in June a cat on eBay had an NIB Green-bouillet for sale.
 
I considered it but really wanted something already built up as I am not a mechanic and had no parts, and was limited finanically at the time to what I could spend.
