Would be ideal if you could find a Roadini in your size and try it out....I think it is a significant change even if it's not eye-poppingly lighter than the Platypii and a good place to start if it has to be a Rivendell. You'll still get the benefits of the design. If it turns out to be your cup of tea, you could ride it while you get in line for that lighter Roadeo and then sell the Roadini off.

Leah I was psyched to see this post because you were the #1 influence on me to get a Platypus (besides Lance who sold it to me! Thanks, Lance!). Besides the Platy, which is for around town and gravel and kid-hauling, I also ride my father-in-laws 1990-something Merlin road bike in occasional club rides and races. I love the Platy for all the already mentioned reasons in this Bunch, and love the snappy, fast, titanium Merlin, but always wish the fork was a bit heavier (and not carbon) and that the chainstays were a hair longer (and didn’t limit the rear tire to 25mm).

Early trek Aluminum bikes were good.
There is nothing as durable as an Aluminum bike paint job. They were well made & last
However, don’t confuse the aluminum bike quality with those of Trek’s early steel bikes.

Ok, ok….I really will consider drop bars. But I do wonder…everyone says they offer so many hand positions; but I only see people with their hands on the hoods. Are riders really utilizing different hand positions?
Also, I saw a pic of an albastache with brake levers in the middle of the bar. Would this mimic the freedom of hand position changes a drop bar offers?
I practiced tonight on my ride by grabbing the front of my Billie bars. It felt nice to be stretched out like that, but with no access to brakes or shifters from there I didn’t like to stay long. Unnerving.

I doubt the Roadeo is a TON lighter than a Roadini. I think the weight details would be in the build more than anything else. As far as bars are concerned drops are fun on a road bike but not required. My recommendation for a non-drop road setup would be the Albastache bars which are IMO the best road bars out there.

I think that falls into Joe Bernard's recommendation of taking a flyer on a used Rivendell at decent price. Love it if you can and sell it if you find you can't love it. Go for it if you can stand over it.

Hmm... according to a geometry chart for the Romulus http://cyclofiend.com/rbw/romulus/romflyer/04.html a 55cm Rom should have a "typical PBH" of between 79-80 and a 57cm for those with PBH's of 81-83. So...disagreeing as I do with Grant about "going larger is better" on frame size, I'd say that this bike would be perfect.
