I will chime in since I can at least aswer a couple of your questions. I have a 63cm Roadeo and tip the scales at 215, so YMMV. I love mine it is great on and off the pavement, a little bit unsettlingly compliant for rough singletrack, but it has been their and lived to tell the tale. It is more than stout enough for me and 20lbs of stuf well distributed, but any more or concentrate the load and its presence becomes well known. I have not ridden the other models, but at times in the winter wonder if a Homer would have made fenders easier, but in SoCal that is only a month or two. If you wnat to test the waters the few Ram/Rom bikes that come across the used market seem to be a heck of a deal.
As for the fenders and bridges: At the chain stays there is a threaded boss on the BB casting web, you will need a 1.5 inch poly spacer and a long bolt from the hardware store to make it work. At the brake bridge there is only the brake hole, I use a Sheldon Fender nut here, Short version is that Waterford built bikes may never be threaded at the brake bridge for a fender the way we would hope and dream.
