The Legolas doesn't seem to vary from the Roadeo geometry by much. Both have 73 seat angles, both will fit 35mm tire (bigger than that in the Legolas front), similar front ends with trails calculated at 61Roadeo and 63Legolas using 35mm tires. BB drop is 70mm Legolas, 73-77Roadeo, compare to 80mm on the Atlantis and 73 on the Quickbeam. Both the Roadeo and Legolas share the thin heat treated tubing that I believe is most responsible for the very pleasant ride. http://www.rivbike.com/images/static/upload/RBW-GeometryCharts.pdf http://www.rivbike.com/assets/payloads/173/original_roadeogeo_for_site.pdf
