Im a 2015 owner i have all the right to get upset.
BTW this is my Roam 3 now. Looks rubbish after 2 Landrun(16,17) Dk100('15), 2 Cuba gravel crisis and 7 century touring. Around 5000miles under its chain. And also its already drop bar converted. Love this bike though she heavy for 30lbs.
Great looking and well traveled Roam you have there. The drop bars are not what I was expecting. My plan to roadify my Roam is to just put road friendly tires on it when the Crosscuts wear out. Maybe a set of Schwalbe Marathon Plus HS tires, which should be good for me as I intend to do 90% paved riding and only very light off road with zero mud riding.
About weight, my 2017 Roam 1 sized Small was 30.5# the day I brought it home, before adding any accessories. I've probably hung a good 5 or 6 pounds of tools and accessories on it since then.
