I have about 11,000 miles on my blue series Ram. It descends at high
speed as well or better than anything else I've ridden. I don;t want a
twitchy ride over 40 mph, would rather have a bike that tracks like it's
on rails and leans over confidently. Part of that is due to the low BB,
which means you don't pedal through a sharp turn. Mine has been very
comfy. It is not a springy frame, so it may not feel as fast as my Road
with a 753 tubeset, but the same legs pedal both and the Garmin
indicates that there is little to no different in actual speed. the Ram
is currently shod with 37s and very nice for the coarse chip-seal one
finds on some of our rambles. It has no trouble pacelining at 18 or so
when the mood strikes however. (Can I confess to pace-lining on Ram and
stay in this group? I wear wool while doing it.)

My Rambouillet story makes even less sense than most: I bought one
from JL, rode it for a couple months, and it was a perfectly nice
bike. But for some reason I just didn't 'click' with it. I'm a
notorious "ok, that was nice, let's try something else" bike
buyer/seller (I don't get attached to them), but I still have no idea
why my interest in this one faded so fast.

I sold off a 68cm Rambouillet frame about 8 or 9 years ago,
without ever building it up. The top tube just looked way too
short and I was much less experienced with bikes then. Kind of
regret never at least building it up and trying it. It was so
pretty in that orange color!
