Howdy folks. Three things about this thread are jumping out at me. Other than both being steel road bikes, there isn't much similarity between the Pacer and the Roadeo (no offense intended to Seth :^). I am 99% sure the Roadeo will take a much bigger tire, unless the Pacer has changed (it works with short reach brakes at the bottom of the slot or "standard" reach at the top of the slot). Tig'ed in Taiwan of average butted steel vs. brazed in Wisconsin of much better than average steel is a HUGE difference. Next, the Roadeo is "our answer to speedy carbon road bikes". What percent of recently sold "speedy carbon road bikes" don't have integrated shifting of some sort? This isn't a Rambouillet replacement. Lastly, you don't shop RBW bikes because they cheaper than alternatives (not including the Sam Hillborne/Betty Foy/Yves Gomez) or just because they're lugged. You buy them because you like RBW and/or GP's designs...
