The dimensions of the two bikes are nearly identical, and I believe the larger sizes (>56????) use the same diameter tubing (8-5-8). There might be a small bit of extra clearance for fenders on the Roadeo, but I believe that's about it. So you're talking ounces at most. Grab the Ram, an established classic, and put your savings into light wheels, ti saddle, etc and don't look back!
