dare i say i have owned a number of Rivendells...for instance. i do mostly fastish, mostly smoothish club rides. given a choice, for most of those rides i would choose my 17 lb Specialized Roubaix. nothing against gorgeous steel bikes, but 5-10lbs of bike weight makes a big difference in the speed and feel of flight. also not saying that this is any need to be in a hurry or that your motor is not better than mine...just love the 17lb carbon Roubaix. can't carry much on the 17lb carbon Roubaix.
