My Roadeo, a 59cm with a quill stem, weighs about 21-22 lbs. I have record 10 shifters and derailleurs, Shimano brakes, Campy hubs with Veocity A23 rims, Grand Bois 700x28 tires, B-17Ti, and Thomson seatpost. I have many other bikes that are lighter, but on long rides, I choose my Roadeo, hilly or not. On fast downhills, the Grant Pedersen handling is flawless and inspires confidence. Don Compton
