The comment on the Bombadil product page refers to a 52cm frame. The one on the Roadeo page is for a 55cm frame. With the Roadeo being basically parallel top tube, and the Bombadil being 6 deg up sloped, I think these are comparable. I think it used to be common for folks to use 56cm or so sized frames for stating weights. Do you have an idea as to how much difference 5cm of frame size makes to frame weight? Since I am really just interested in a qualitative handle on the relative stoutness/weight and not looking for .1 lb accuracy I doubt the screws, paint, or even a headset would put things out of wack. Though I think I would draw a line before including the bottom bracket. Few framesets come with em, though to my pleasant surprise my SimpleOne did come with headset, bottom bracket, and a seatpost installed. Gota love those guys.
