The answer is not so much about any specific bike material decision.
The answer is their attention to detail.
Lots of companies care about details, but Rivendell cares about details that

I have upright-style bars on Atlantis right now (flat bar with rise and Ergon grips), a 64 cm bike which means these bars are pretty far up above the seat.
I don't think I can do it for any long distance. Shoulders and neck start hurting. Shoulders and neck hurt anyway, but this set-up aggravat
Yes, Bruce the Ram is awesome, and I see the Roadeo as finally being the bike to come along and take its place, but if one already has a Ram, he/she might be all set. That red 63 cm Roadeo at Rivendell was tempting me a bit, but I am 100% over it once I realized that in this size, my Ram and that
Another answer from me: I don't know if this counts as upright but...
It was moustache bars at seat level on an XO-1 that for me has a very short top
tube.
I did well on a full day of riding, probably about 65 miles, no neck or
shoulder problems. I did take advantage of moving hands around and d
It's fun to detect Rivendells from a distance. Sometimes you can really just tell, and bags like Bananas and Smythes help a lot.

But the interesting thing is that the Roadeo will not split the difference
tire-wise. I've raved about my Ram over and over, but a Roadeo outdoes it in
the tire clearance with fenders department. A Jack Brown with fenders can be
done on the Roadeo, but not the Ram. The Roadeo's going to be an am

If Rivendell were to send a Roadeo with Jack Browns to a magazine for a test
ride, I'd be extremely curious to see what the reviewer says.

This was one of the best rides ever, and Esteban, thanks for the great photo

That would be my favorite style - plain lugs, single color paint and great,

Direct answer to Beth's question: I love the 559 size, and my enthusiasm for it
was just renewed in the past few days, partly from reading this list and partly
from tuning up my XO and riding it as the commuter. Riding this bike feels
great. I'll be taking it on many regular old road rides in th
I'd be way into that. I'd love to have a 64-65 cm RB-1. (The largest they came
in the Bridgestone Golden Age was 62 cm, and I make mine work.) For certain
kinds of rides, it's the best bike I have.

I agree on the importance of the AHH. I think the AHH is my favorite bike of all time. The key thing is that it's a do-all type bike that's a good road bike, and is built to carry the ultra-clearance dual pivot sidepulls. The last feature is key. It seems it will be missing from the Rivendell line-
