Yeah, the Canti-Rom was an accident--miscommunication between Riv and the builder. Going by memory, the Rom was intended as a less expensive version of the Rambouillet. One color paint, slightly cheaper stays. (not heat treated? single-butted? Not tapered? Some small difference like that) I can't recall if maybe it had a slightly cheaper tubeset, too, but it was a very similar frame and only weighed a tiny bit more than the Rambouillet...
