I have a second-hand Joe Stark Riv Road from '01 that can fit maybe a 33mm
tire in, but functionally maxes out @ 30mm. I would never get a bike like
that, but as it was used I couldn't complain too much. I've been thinking
of converting it to 650b with Hetres (would also be a close fit) but a
bet
I think Jim has it here. I'm pretty sure my short reach braked Road
Standard from '99 will fit a Jack Brown well enough, but no way with
fenders. I think the Roadeo is probably lighter in a given size than most
of the Riv Roads, not all though as the tubing was custom picked starting in
'98 or so
But the interesting thing is that the Roadeo will not split the difference
tire-wise. I've raved about my Ram over and over, but a Roadeo outdoes it in
the tire clearance with fenders department. A Jack Brown with fenders can be
done on the Roadeo, but not the Ram. The Roadeo's going to be an am
s, it is supposed to be a fast fat tire)

I sometimes consider proposing a trade, but it is nice to have the

My brother and I did a little errand ride on our Rivendell road bikes
on Christmas Eve. He was on his Road Standard, running 23mm
Continental Grand Prix 4000s and I on the Romulus with 35mm Paselas.
His Road is set-up very light, and the Romulus is nearing its heaviest
but most trail-worthy incarn
