If it's '03, Rivendell didn't have that many models then (that's when I bought my Atlantis). If it said "Rivendell" on the DT, it's a custom. I see trusty Zefal pumps with (I believe) Jannd straps on both bikes. The red one is geared & the green one lacks derailers. Lon was the subject of an article in an early paper Reader about a scouting trip to South America. Clobbered together an old MTB that was his utility ride, one chainring & a 7 speed for exploring Peru (or similar mountainous terrain) and away he went. So for him, a "3 speed" was plenty for PBP. Amazing guy.
