Thanks for the thoughts. I think I will swap over the wheels this
weekend. I will need to change cassettes due to the gearings, but that
should not be too difficult.
I do love having dynamo lighting and I love my Phil Wood rear cassette.

That's pretty typical of Panaracer's casing. I've found I need to give
myself a bit of extra clearance when I set up fenders with a new set of
tires or they'll start to rub after a couple weeks.

You do have a problem! I love my later edition blue Ram, also 58 (I'm 2"
shorter but mostly shorter in the legs) and, while the Ram doesn't feel as
spritely as my 2 remaining customs (tho' the Parigi Roubaix tires help make
up for that) it is hardly piggish and it does encourage energetic riding.
That's an interesting impression of the Rambouillet. Not one I've heard
before, but certainly open it.
I guess the quick answer is "Yeah. Sure. Of course it's possible you and a
2001 Rivendell Rambouillet aren't cut out for one another."
But, it's an interesting situation, to be sure.

You can run 700c wheels on any 650B Rivendell with caliper brakes. You'll
need to run short reach brakes and skinny tires. No fenders unless you run
very skinny tires.

I'm loving my berthoud saddle (Aspin, which is their "touring model" I
believe.) It's 155mm wide, which is narrower than the brooks b-17 it
replaced. The leather is definitely thick and the plastic, while
off-putting to some, is rock solid great stuff. I'm a light guy (150 pounds
at 6' tall).

what % grade are the climbs you ride?

One of the staff at Riv "reverse engineered" a Hilsen that way. It's a neat

You also get to use spindly-light Campy "skeleton" brakes if you'd like.

I suspect your Ram looks and feels like a "road bike" to you, so your brain
expects it to react like a titanium Merlin or small-tubed '84 Nobillette.

If either of you switch to the ~122/AT, can you tell me the resulting Q? I
wonder if a similar switch would cut a cm or so off the current ~160 with

I sold off a 68cm Rambouillet frame about 8 or 9 years ago, without ever
building it up. The top tube just looked way too short and I was much less
experienced with bikes then. Kind of regret never at least building it up
and trying it. It was so pretty in that orange color!
