Funny, because I just discovered Rivendell, after I finished it. Of course I looked around on the net and copied some ideas, since there are (as far as I know) no bikes like this in The Hague / The Netherlands.
Today I saw the employee bikes on the Rivendell site, they are gorgeous so I'll take it as a compliment. Just like those bikes, I could do with 2 cm bigger so I don't need as much seatpost sticking out.
Just some info on the bike: the wheels are hand built by Marten (www.m-gineering.nl) with VO 650b rims and really nice aby-k hubs (single fixed). I also got the stainless steel fenders from him. The frame is a Koga-Miyata (a Miyata imported by a company that added the Koga part), nitto stem and soma handlebars. Cranks are the original shimano ones with a stainless surly chainring. Add some stuff by brooks et voila!
And of course I follow your rando thread edscoble! It looks like it is going to be a beautiful bike.
