Aside from the original Riv Road in the late 90s and the introduction of
the Roadeo a few years ago, the Rambouillet was the standard road bike in
Riv's lineup. Which meant lighter than the Atlantis. It takes long reach

This is an 83 ( I think). So what I am gathering is that is similar to a
Ram in function but a bit more generic in looks?

How long is really the chainstay? Grant only wrote that some sizes will
have chainstays longer than 46cm. My wife's 1982 Trek 720 has a chainstay
of 47cm, and you can definitely see and feel that extra length. One place

I ride both a Rambouillet and a Roadeo. They are two of my favorite
bikes. Their rides are very similar - - riding on 32mm Schwalbe
Kojaks for both bikes. Both bikes see lots of use on crummy Sonoma
County Roads. It is an utter joy to ride smooth, light, comfortable
steel bikes that easily fit
Is this real? I'm well aware of modifications and variations, but I'm still pretty surpised to see a 2TT Ram. I know there have been some repaired with second tubes added, but I didn't know they ever got the standard decals and paint. Pretty cool! And it looks good.
