Between this and the production spec of the Charlie, it's clear that the new models are simply splitting hairs between existing models - no shame in it, I love to see the additional resolution within the world of Rivendells - but splitting hairs nonetheless! The Charlie has become a cross-pollination of the Homer and Roadini, with a slightly dropped top tube.
I still maintain that what the world needs now is Riv's answer to the Cross Check - a TIG'd construction Hillborne essentially, ideally with a swoop tube.
