yeah, that geo and the threadless option just make it a better
platform for a dedicated road bike - which isn't to say, as Jim notes,
an AHH couldn't be essentially the same bike if it used a light build
kit.  but using an AHH as a dedicated road bike, however, doesn't make
much sense.  that bike is destined to do more.

Jim also makes an important point regarding a preference for heavier
parts - building up a 25lb Roadeo might not yield what was supposed a
zippier bike than the other 25lb bike in one's stable.  choice of
components needs to be considered along with the frame.
