Fantastic Jock! What brakes are you using?

I clearly recall the first time I hopped on my RAM 2004.

Epiphany!

A few years ago I sent it off for the Joe Bell Treatment…now it’s as beautiful
and tasty as any bespoke two-wheeler.

I think my FS Roadeo is a good contender! All prodding aside, it is a great
pavement bike, works well on dirt roads too as it will fit 700x35 tires.

Roadeo, Roadini, Sam, Homer, and the Nitto Noodle?

FWIW, after having used any number of drop bars, my favorite is the Maes
Parallel, available from Rene Herse but not from Rivendell. (Rivendell ought to
offer it!)

I really like the Rivendell approach to bikes and bike technology with the idea
of a more upright posture and a long wheelbase for long rides at a comfortable
pace, but it seems like the models all lean heavily to what they call "country
bikes." I like to ride from my house, and that means riding almost exclusively
on smooth (mostly) pavement. Can anyone suggest which models are better suited
for road riding? Reading and comparing the descriptions, it seems that the
Homer might be a good choice, or possibly the Appaloosa or Atlantis? Or the new
Charlie Gallop, though I haven't heard much about how it is supposed to ride? I
tried a Roadini (which I recently listed here and sold), but I think it was too
big for me. I never felt comfortable on it. Maybe I just needed it in the right
size.

I would like the bike to work well with drop bars because of the multiple hand
positions and they're just what I'm used to. I tried a bike with swept bars
recently, but found I wasn't comfortable on longer rides. And when riding on
streets with minimal shoulder width, I felt like I was going to catch the end
of them on mailboxes or other obstacles. Maybe there's a handlebar in
Rivendell's catalog that works well for road riding?

I'd appreciate any comments, especially if someone does this type of riding and
has tried several of these models. Thanks.
