Hi René, what a great bike you have! My All-Rounder is basically an AHH w/ cantis, and yes, I could use that bike for all my cycling needs.
That said, it sounds like you like bikes a lot and are used to having multiple bikes. I would hold off on selling the Roubaix for a while until you can really zero in on your riding style. Also, as you lose weight & get in shape, you might be more comfortable on it and enjoy the light weight bike more. If it's still uncomfortable (compared to a Rivendell designed bike) or you just find yourself not using it, then sell it. Either use the sale to subsidize the Bombadil, or if you still want a light weight "go fast" bike, pick up a Roadeo! I can say from my experience, that having a go-fast in the garage is really nice. I don't ride mine as much as my All-Rounder, but when I do, it's always a treat! Welcome to the club!
