We'd all do well to remember this basic rule:
Don't ever love anything that can't love you back.

Thanks to Garth and Ben for Roadeo price history.
Patrick, you're mentions of LOTR and Mordor had me reading "So, keeping the Ultegra group for now, tho’ Sharon," as Sauron twice before I saw it correctly :) And I would love, love to hear about Leah going on a tryst with a Billie-bared Roadeo and then having to explain that to both her husband AND the Scoundrel Charlie ;)
Jim is correct, Riv started the Roadeo in late 2009 with 2010 being the first full year of them. Here is is the web archive from Dec 2009 for the Roadeo. And they went a bit longer than you remembered, they only removed them from the site a few months ago. I remember looking at the Riv site and seeing them still listed at the start of your curiosity into getting a geared Road bike. Pretty amazing that during the 15+ year run of the Roadeo Rivendell managed to only keep the price increase at $800. It is still a 20% increase, but I feel like prices in the bike industry have risen much faster than that. In fact, compared to the other Riv models it's really good: over the same time frame the Sam Hillborne has increased 75% in price.

Pretty sure 2010 was first year and they were $2000 then. Only option, I believe, was threaded or threadless stem.
Nice buy! The Roadeo is one of the peaks of Grant's designs, in my opinion, as is the Legolas. I think you'll enjoy it immensely.
