The Roadeo won't take 38's, certainly not with fenders. I think 35s are the
tops. I was riding 32s for a while but now am running 25s, but I'm

Are you sure it is the 4600 and not the 4603 ? The 00 is the double, the
03 the triple designation.
Is it a true 28.6mm clamp or is it 31.8 with a shim ?
I'm assuming 31.8 w/shim as this is what the docs spec.
These appear still available new , is it that your seeking a used one or

Fun is by definition subjective!
For me, a Roadeo with 30 mm tires would be ideal -- I would have no use at
all for anything wider, or even for fenders, on this sort of bike, which in
my stable would fill the "gofast derailleur" niche.

Looks like aluminum to me, but the amount is probably so little, and
absorption rates through skin so small, compared to other sources that you
are probably ingesting or absorbing into your bloodstream via other routes
(e.g., smoking), that it's probably of no consequence.

Agreed. I do wonder if my Ram has a future as a touring bike. The fork
would need more attachment points - or maybe a different fork.
It's quite overbuilt in its present config as a stripped-down, go-fast type

Of course my impression is subjective. Completely so.

had a bike fitting. The Serotta frames were beautiful. I loved them.

My Atlantis with the stock fork handled 10-12 lbs per side. Typically this was
part of a 4 bag load, with similar weight on the rear. Right now we are cc
