Peter, I don't tour or carry much, but the ability to use any size tire and the long chainstays makes the Roadeo just a great bike for me. My friends with their Carbon creations look at me cross-eyed, but I just really enjoy riding the bike. Its like my car, a late model Mini Cooper. Its not as fast as a lot of cars, but there's no car, no matter how expensive, that's more fun to drive. And, I can put my Roadeo in the back of the car. I had a conversation with Grant and told him that they came out with a model that fit a club rider like myself. It was during a visit to the shop in Walnut Creek. He sold me his unpainted frameset and together, we decided on a color, "Mary's blue" , his wife's favorite color. Even though I don't carry any loads on my bike, I and a true believer in Rivendell. Anyway, I am probably " preaching to the choir". Don
