110%+ agreement here! From the discussion, I get the impression that the OP's frame is simply too big.
Slight Segway: My experience with 5 different Rivendells (I still own 2, both customs) is that one great signature virtue of the breed is the comfort -- ie, the comfort that comes from a frame allowing just the right postion. As I was riding the gofast yesterday, well warmed up from climbing, I was struck again for the 10 billionth time in coming up to 17 years for this frame how "just right" it feels: butt back, back bent but not too much, arms relaxed, hands lightly gripping hoods, powerful stroke over the pedal top dead center ... And this is matched by the unerring handling. FWIW, Segway (tm) #2: the new Compass Elk Pass Tires are the perfect tire for the perfect frame.
