>From looking at that photo, I think you might find a 60cm frame a bit small if you want drop bars that high. Though the Rambouillet is a bit lighter / sportier than the AHH I suspect that just changing frames won't make your 33+ pound rig seem much less bulky. I doubt the frame weights differ by more than a pound or two. If you are referring to Jan Heine styled "planning", that is usually associated with standard diameter extra light gauge tubing frames. I don't think any Rivs fit that bill.
