Yep. I got the same survey today and thought that was pretty cool. But I didn't find it all that surprising. When I went on one of Rapha's "Gentleman's Rides" a few years ago, many of their Continental team riders commented very favorably on my Romulus and my friend's Bleriot.
Moreover, unlike the comments one often gets from race-oriented club riders who frown upon wide tires or road bikes that are off-road capable, the Rapha riders on that day were grooving on the Col de la Vie tires on my friend's Bleriot. We also got to talking about the Challenge Parigi-Roubaix tires, which at that point still hadn't been released, and a couple of the Rapha riders expressed a vivid interest in trying them, especially for some of their rides that cover both pavement and dirt. In sum, the impression I got from the Rapha guys that day was that they appreciated Rivendell as a company, as well as the idea of riding both paved and unpaved surfaces on road bikes.
