I'm a super clydsedale who recently got back on the bike (Trek 7.2) both for the love of riding (I had forgotten how much fun it is) and hopefully to lose weight. I've decided that once I've built up to riding my hybrid 20 or 30 miles, I will start looking into a road bike. The ones that inspire me the most are the Rivendells but I'll also be looking at the Surly LHT, Surly Cross Check and the Salsa Casserroll. I'm undecided on tackling a century but it's a definite thought in the back of my brain.
If I lose 100 lbs and/or ride a century, I'm going to reward myself and if I still want a Rivendell at that point, I'm getting a Rivendell.
