There's little in the way of unsightly versatility our Mighty Patrick of
the Moore can't strip away... :-)

A Roadeo doesn't take 38mm or 44mm tires. It sounds like Laing needs
something more like an A. Homer Hilsen with its unsightly versatility
stripped away.

Perhaps you could get a Roadeo and invite Patrick Moore to come
visit you in Florida and tell him to bring his Dremel. He can
remove those unsightly fender eyelets for you, having had practice
at this...
Per the Riv web site:
/The //Roadeo//is our answer to speedy carbon road bikes that
cost the same or more, last one-fifth as long or less, and
aren't as safe, comfortable, versatile or good-looking./
//
/It's the bike to get for speedy riding without racks and
bags, except for maybe a seat or bar bag. Basically, it's not
a "light touring" bike, or anything of the sort. It's a bike
for swift solo rides and fast club rides, where riding is the
thing, as opposed to doing something on your bike./
Sure sounds like /exactly/ what you're describing, except for the
eyelets.

A fenderless, rackless lugged road frame. I have lots of bikes
with fenders and racks and lights with all sorts of braze-ons.
What I want is a "road racing" look frame, as-in no eyelets on
the front or rear dropouts or forks or seatstays, no kickstand
plate. Everything else can be the same - long chainstays, long
top tube, relaxed geometry, 700c x 38 or 44, etc. Centerpulls or
cantilevers would be ok as long as the cable stop and posts were
brazed onto the seatstays and forks. Half chromed forks and
seatstays would be wonderful. Just a clean road bike that rides
like a Riv. Not very likely. Not even sure that it could happen
on a custom. Basically, I want a fatter tired, higher
handlebar (still drops) cross between my old Masi and my Paramount.
