It'd be hard to go wrong with any Riv except maybe the Hillibikes. One of my fellow Salt Lake Randonneurs has a Rambouillet that he seems to really like. I haven't done any randonneuring on my Roadini, but having just finished RAGBRAI on my Roadini, I wouldn't hesitate to ride it for any randonneuring distance. Given that the seatpost on my usual brevet bike (a BMC monster cross) is irredeemably fused in place, it may well become my brevet bike if I ever have to box one for travel.
