It could very well be the tires/wheels that influenced my comparison of the SM to the the Ram. My Roadeo runs on Gran Bois 30 mm. My Ram sported Parigi-Roubaix 27mm (really 29mm) and my SM has Paselas. All of the wheels are traditional box rims laced to Campy hubs. Neither the Ram nor the SM "planes" the way the Roadeo does for me, especially when climbing. All are still loads of fun. I think he SM is true value for a Riv designed bike.
