I can't speak for all randonneurs, but I have different bikes. My long distance bikes with compass tires are reserved for longer brevets. For training miles and JRA I prefer a different everything; geometry, gearing, wheels, tires, luggage, etc. It's the main thing that prevents me from getting myself a really nice randonneuring bike. I only use it a few times a year.
