This may be just a question of semantics, but I have always thought of the Ramboulliet/Romulus as a type of sports tourer bike. Keep in mind I have never owned or ridden a Ram, but I do own a Heron Road I have ridden for years and more recently acquired a Waterford 1250, both of which are generally similar bikes to the Ram/Rom in my mind, and the type of bike I prefer for my on-road recreational use. (I'm not going anywhere too fast anyhow, so I might as well be more comfortable.) I run 28s without fenders on both bikes, but I may give 32s a try next time tires are needed. I am not trying to be argumentative, just would like some clarification on the terminology from some of you more knowledgeable folks. Is a "classic road bike" close to the same thing, or is "sports tourer" or "light touring bike" just some marketing mumbo jumbo? PS - I would love it if Grant/Riv would paint some Rodeo frames in the original Ram orange and badge and decal them as "Ramboulliet 2s." I'd probably sell every bike I've got to buy one of those. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
