I have a custom Riv bought six months before the Ram was announced, geometry fairly identical, e.g. 80 mm bb drop. I have converted it to 650B (PariMoto 38 mm) and ride it with 177,5 mm cranks. Quite low, but, seriously, no problem. The same with the Heron Touring on tour, even on trails (not the worst of trails, though). Makers are probably scared of low pedals for liability reasons, but you can ride much lower and low is good.
Olof Stroh Uppsla Sweden On Behalf Of Michael Hechmer: I'd like to hear more about the ride. Since you apparently never rode it as a 700c that may be a bit difficult but give it a try. How much pedal clearance do you have? I remember reading that GP didn't recommend converting the Rambouliet because of the low BB shell, but I have successfully converted a Trek 620 with pretty similar specs and have, from time to time considered doing my Ram too.
