I live in brooklyn, old brooklyn that is, not wanna be NYC Hipsterburg or Bushwick or Park Slope and I have never seen another Rivendell here. Really not surprising since most of Brooklyn is working class and Rivendells are somewhat decadent, albeit lovely. I do get some nods and good chats with people on LHTs and other Surly bikes but I have yet to see another Rivendell out here in South Brooklyn. I do get the typical mix of comments asking if the bike is either old or expensive. I had some old man berate me that spending more than 100 dollars on a bike is way to much, haha.
