What defines a Rivendell for me are: 1. Ride characteristics and quality. 2. Quality of build -- strength, but also appearance. 3. Aesthetics, or more simply, the way they look; but this is more general than lugs: even a tigg'd Rivendell would have a sober but not dull appearance with nice graphics and, above all, a general sense of proportion among the parts.
Anything else IMO is secondary, even if desirable. I can see some Rivendells quite happily accepting disc brakes and keeping the qualities above. I don't think a Roadeo with discs would be Rivendellian, but a Hunq with discs would be, or even a Sam.
