The Roadeo is a beautiful, fun, fun, and versatile bike. When thinking "versatile" remember that you are talking about the Rivendell version of versatilve - - even a "not so versatile" Rivendell is a thousand times more versatile than most anything else out there. I love, love my Roadeo - - it's built as a "fast" road bike (meaning the bike is fast but I ain't) with Campagnolo 10 speed parts (from my old Colnago), with 32 mm Schwalbe Kojaks. It handles crappy roads with grace - - - I'm the only guy in Sonoma County who actually enjoys the descent on Cavedale Road, 'cuz no one else has big enough tires, nor a bike that can absorb that much abuse.
