I tend to waffle between Grant's and Jan's viewpoints on bicycles. I think part of that is curiosity about the type of ride that Rivendell's provide. I've heard so many glowing reports that I want to experience it for myself. Also, I'm an uber-clydesdale and I trust Rivendell bicycles to be robust enough for me more than I do a lot of others. On the other hand, if I weighed 180 and was in good shape.....I would be all about performance but even then I think a Roadeo would fit my needs better than a dedicated Randonneur. I don't plan on ever carrying anything on my bike so I think low trail would be detrimental to me. Light steel frame? Sporty geometry? Light, high performance tires? All of those would be my preference if I was light enough to take advantage of them.
