Well, I don't know about the rando bikes since I haven't owned one, but I will say that my Roadeo (ligher tubing) is faster feeling and quicker riding than my Sam Hillborne. But, I can't load up the Roadeo for camping like I can the Hillborne, which is certainly the more versatile bike. I don't know if the Roadeo has "oversized tubing" but it is a quick feeling bike and livelier than my hillborne, probably because of geometry and tubing differences. Could a rando bike be the end all be all for me? No, I don't think so. I need two, one for camping and one for club riding. I don't ride Rando events and would feel quite limited with just a handlebar bag for when I do go camping/touring, and I feel it may not be quite the best pick for club riding.
