Around here, a short beard, grey & white, will probably get the comment - "so you work for Surly?" Only have had a couple of comments over the years on my Rivendell bikes. And they are usually by riders either on custom steel frames, or fixed-gear messenger types. Most "regular" cyclists around here have no idea or interest in Rivendell.
While there are a lot of modern technology bikes around here, there are still a lot of riders on steel. Surly, old Trek and now All City being the three I most often notice. In fact, All City may be making a push to replace the Surly Cross Check as what I would consider the ubiquitous Twin Cities bicycle.
