Jim, I agree with your comments, the Riv bikes are different, which is why I lament the loss of the road/sport tourer end of the model spectrum. There's the Legolas, but it's a bit too lightweight and specialized and the AHH has just too long a wheel base and is just that bit heavy to be a real road bike. I'm by no means a racer, but the I feel that the absence of a good versatile road bike from the Riv family is a sad state of affairs. . > > I think the RBW models are "different enough".
