Hi, I had my configured with the Albatross bars (steel version) twice over the years. The one you described sounds like something I did about 8-years ago. I posted the photo on Flickr. I can no longer access my Flickr account so I cannot help find it.
The past 3-years I had another set of Albatross bars (aluminum version) with a tall Nitto stem and 1 x 10 drive train. I recently decided to put it back the way I intended when I got the bike in 2003. One change is no front rack. This frame has horrible steering geometry and any load on the front makes it worse. I'm putting a Velo Orange lightweight rear rack and a small bag on the back. The rack will tie into the rear fender. My paint color was not a stock Rivendell color at the time. I ask Joe Bell to call me when he got the frame and then we decided on the color. Rivendell was quite surprised when the frame came back to them in a color different than the one listed on the order form. I gave them more money and they were good. I have the original Chris King silver, no branding headset. It was on for ten years and still is perfect. I should put it back on.
