As a Hillborne owner and commuter, I'll second Jim's thoughts. Since you already have the Romulus with narrowish tires for road riding, I'd go to the other end of the spectrum with an Appaloosa (follow your instincts) or the Clem with the fattest tires you can put on there with fenders (since you're commuting on it). I use my Sam for everything and love it but it is the only bike I have and it's a great all arounder. I really liked riding both the Appaloosa and the Clem. If I had a more dedicated road bike than the Hillborne, I'd want the Appaloosa for all other pursuits. What can I say, when buying a Riv, I want the lugs. If I were to buy the Clem over the Appaloosa it would be for the 650 wheels which always felt great to me a 5'10". That's what has me pondering the Roscoe mountain mixte these days...
