My custom Riv was built for all-round road riding with possible light touring. Do-it-all. (Sidebar: this was because I'd always been used to having only one bike so it didn't occur to me to have different- purpose bikes.) The Riv always seemed very light to me compared to the other steel bikes

Thanks for posting. The Ritchey commemorative bike looks awesome (though I'm not crazy about the massive Classic decal on the top tube). The Della Santa and Rebolledo stuff is refreshingly classic -- no fuss, no muss. It is interesting to see that a lot of the road bikes in your set were design
