There is no one best answer, of course, and if there were I wouldn't endlessly debate my own quiver. But what came to mind when reading your post and looking at your (lovely!) bikes was: if you can do without disc brakes, I'd suggest keeping the Homer as your 'slower' bike, and get one of the new batch of BMC Road. I suspect it would be as fast as a Roadeo for a fraction of the price, but it isn't as beautiful I'll give you that. Then the Homer stays fendered and more all-surface capable within the confines of your available terrain, while the BMC Road can be fender-free, light, and sporty.
BTW 67mm BBD is standard for Riv's in 650B, it's neither particularly low nor high. In 700c it's commonly 80mm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
