Dave,
Nearly everyone here give very good personal advice in my opinion but they can
only deal with the potentially biased information they possess. (We all like
what we have (keep) and which works for us and want to share that with others
which affirms out decisions regarding bikes).
I agree
I'm not one to talk someone out of a new Riv, but my guess is a Bombadil is a
great daily rider. Get a Sam or Appa if you really want a "roadier" bike, but I
hope that your quite rare and beautiful Bombadil continues to see daylight.

sets. One with huge knobbies on velocity Dually rims and another with large
(2.3) slicks on carbon jobbies. And my oh my I
I am about 270 at the moment and love my Sam. I have a Joe set up as a
hauler/router, but the Sam is my road bike. Lighter riders describe the Sam as
heavy duty, but to me it feels perfect on the road. My advice is to run it
with wide, supple tires.

I appreciate everyone's help earlier this month solving the elusive n-1
equation. As mentioned I currently have a Bombadil for around town path and
related usage. Not as it was designed as I have the Jones for that heavier duty
riding as a mountain/ trail bike. The responses got me thinking
