Looks like a really nice build. I for one lament the passing (or sleeping?) of the Rambouillet. It seems like Riv's current offerings are gradually merging into the same all-rounder country bike, whereas at least the Rambouillet would stand out in today's lineup as being a little different as the dedicated "road bike" of the bunch.
Now, I ain't got nuthin' against all-rounders--I have two of them and do most of my riding on them. And, yeah, I know, you can still put 28s on the AHH and do anything you could do on a Rambo. But I still like the Rambo. Maybe like the sleeping narcoleptics of old, the Rambo should get a tattoo across its chest that reads "don't bury me."
