In the smaller sizes the Roadeo and the AHH are quite different (the size the OP rides would be a 650b AHH vs. a 700c Roadeo) The geometry is especially different in these smaller sizes too. Once the size gets up a little larger (59cm seems to the be spot) the bikes become less different. I used to own a 54cm Salui (650b AHH under a previous name) and should have never sold it - Great Bike. Recently I tested a Roadeo in 55cm and the two are worlds apart. The Saluki was stable and resolute while the Roadeo was fast and agile - not to imply that either couldn't be the other but they were very clearly not the same bike. I think the large 700c are sort of lost on the smaller frame and a 28 would be more suited than the 33.3 tires that were on it. Also no DT bossed on the Roadeo is a big difference.
To more directly interact with the OPs question... Yes the Roadeo gives more variety than another 650b bike in a similar size. Congrats on the deposit. The tubing selection for the Roadeo and the AHH are different enough that it is noticeable. JL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
