I'm not Noel but here's my take
I've have/had the following rivs:
Romulus, Bleriot, Saluki, and a Riv custom.
I also have a Madone.
I've never found these Rivs to suffer in ride quality.
I guess the Romulus seemed a bit more robust than the custom, but I
chose/choose any of the Rivs
over the Madone for rides longer than 50 miles. The custom rides so
nicely that I choose it over all others
for any ride of any length.
I suspect that the custom has tubing pretty much akin to the Roadeo
and the custom is the nicest riding bike
I've had the pleasure to experience in my > 30 years of riding.

Weight? Don't know and don't care. If I wanted light I'd by a Madone.
All I care about is ride quality, and I agree that Grant/Riv are
building frames out of such heavy tubing that ride quality suffers -
even with my beloved Grand Bois Hetres.
Which frame are you riding?
