"I’d prefer to clone the 1999 gofast in derailleur form since that bike is so perfect."
Why not have a frame builder convert that gofast to a geared version? That would be cheaper than than building a new one. Otherwise, perhaps a Charlie Gallop? The drop top tube might be better for a "seasoned' rider such as yourself. You can forget about a short top tube and light springy tubing in a modern Riv though. I was pleasantly surprised by the ride of my Roaduno, it feels a lot livelier than my tigged Roadini, but the size difference may play a part there-58 'Duno vs 61 'Dini. But the RoadUno is still not as sprightly as my 531c Mercian or Columbus SL/SP Chris Kvale custom.
