Wow, that's one VERY cool bike. I bet it would be a real HOOT to ride. I've been riding a custom made Co Motion steel frame, rigid fork, front cantilever only bike. It's really an old regular off- roader, but I converted to fixed gear using a White Industries ENO hub. I also have a custom Phil Wood Independent Fabrication TI singlespeed that I've been very tempted to convert over to fixed. (I also have a Trek OCLV fixed gear off-roader. Say what you will about carbon, the thing is stupid light and I care very little if it get trashed. I keep hoping it will fail so I have reason to destroy it.)
Man-o-man, I bet the mystery Rivendell would be really a fun time. I'd be really curious to get the Rivendell interpretation of ride characteristics. I have no clue on size, but judging from the photos it looks like it might be too small. Good thing, I think if I asked if I could get another bike right now, my wife would ring my neck!
