Fun is by definition subjective! For me, a Roadeo with 30 mm tires would be ideal -- I would have no use at all for anything wider, or even for fenders, on this sort of bike, which in my stable would fill the "gofast derailleur" niche.
Past racing bikes: At least some models from the early 70s can be quite Riv like. My 1977 Motobecane Grand Record had 45 cm stays and took 29s with fenders. It also carried 40 lb on a Fly better than any bike I can remember. I take it that I am right in thinking that the Roadeo handles a wee bit quicker than the Rambouillet? The Ram was a very nice bike, but handled wee bit sedately, for my taste, for a "fun" road bike. It would have made a wonderful touring bike, I guess. And it was beefier than it needed to be; compared to the very light Motobecane, say.
