So I own both a Roadeo and a BMC Monstercross amongst others. Road racing is not something I've ever done nor will ever do, so my comments below do not apply to that category.
That said, the BMC Monstercross is actually a pretty road bike as well. Even Bill rated it a 5 as a road *racing* bike. Take the word "racing" out of the equation and I'd rate it higher. Before I got the Roadeo, the Monstercross was my primary "endurance" road bike running 38mm Barlow Pass tires. I had a couple calls with Mike V. trying to choose between a Road and a MC and have no regrets with my choice. When I want to enjoy the rougher stuff, I swap out my wheelset for one with 43mm Gravelking SKs. Brilliant! And the Roadeo is a damn fine road bike--no quarrels there. Bottom line, I concur with Bill's ratings based on my experience. Austin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
