The road is a livelier frame (reynolds 753 w/531 forks) with quicker steering
than the Ram (Mix of Japanese HT and non HT tubes) that rides like it's on
rails around downhill curves. Both will carry a rear rack, but the road is not
intended for weight and the Ram is. I use it when I need a rack and cargo
space. If I could only keep one, it would be the Road, which is an absolute joy
to ride. I did decide between the Ram and the Saluki, which I sold. Not enough
difference, and Ram rides better, even though it can't go as fat on the
tires.Was this any help?

Hi Bruce. Overlap among Riv models has been discussed lately so I'm curious how
much overlap there is between your Ram and the Road Std.? If I had to guess I
would say the Ram might have a little more carrying capacity. Many thanks for
the feedback.
Regards,Richard

The Road is an excellent long distance ride. I rode mine on yesterday's local
RUSA event and it was great all day. Smooth on the rough stuff, climbs well,
handles great. If you think about what a new frame only with nice lugs and
paint will cost, Eric's bike is a steal.
