Perhaps you could get a Roadeo and invite Patrick Moore to come visit
you in Florida and tell him to bring his Dremel. He can remove those
unsightly fender eyelets for you, having had practice at this...
Per the Riv web site:
/The //Roadeo//is our answer to speedy carbon road bikes that cost
the same or more, last one-fifth as long or less, and aren't as
safe, comfortable, versatile or good-looking./
//
/It's the bike to get for speedy riding without racks and bags,
except for maybe a seat or bar bag. Basically, it's not a "light
touring" bike, or anything of the sort. It's a bike for swift solo
rides and fast club rides, where riding is the thing, as opposed to
doing something on your bike./
Sure sounds like /exactly/ what you're describing, except for the eyelets.

A fenderless, rackless lugged road frame. I have lots of bikes with
fenders and racks and lights with all sorts of braze-ons. What I want
is a "road racing" look frame, as-in no eyelets on the front or rear
dropouts or forks or seatstays, no kickstand plate. Everything else
can be the same - long chainstays, long top tube, relaxed geometry,
700c x 38 or 44, etc. Centerpulls or cantilevers would be ok as long
as the cable stop and posts were brazed onto the seatstays and forks.
Half chromed forks and seatstays would be wonderful. Just a clean road
bike that rides like a Riv. Not very likely. Not even sure that it
could happen on a custom. Basically, I want a fatter tired, higher
handlebar (still drops) cross between my old Masi and my Paramount.
