I am slightly confused I totally understand wanting a Rivendell and for sure a bike that rides like one iffin you can't afford a Riv., But if you already have one (or several), hmmmmm . . . . What exactly is the itch you're trying to scratch!? I mean I do understand, in a way it's fun to while away the hours with "what if's, but from my experience, we buy Rivendells because Grant has staked out a particular niche, that nobody else caters to. Just to complicate things more you have rather narrow component range in mind. Doable? Yes, practical? Not really, but I guess shit could happen!? I realize this is mostly for fun, mental gymnastics as it were. And since I am still not 100% sure what you are trying to accomplish, I will make suggestions with the understanding that I could be WAY off base. I have heard of some older bikes by Dawes(sp?), nothing fancy, but some models had longish top tubes, a few others, new bikes, spring to mind for their Rivishness, like Kogswell & Rawland, but I know you are looking in history's dustbin, so maybe not appropriate? Anywayz good luck with that, I would be interested it whatever fruits your labors uncover, if for no other reason the to be able visualize exactly what it is you are going on about, because as of now I can't quite wrap my mind around it. Cheers!
