While it's true that the Rivendell name came from Rivendell Mountain Works, and not necessarily from Tolkein's Rivendell, the references can't be denied in the RBW products.

Peter, did you wind up ordering the Polyvalent? Please let me know if you did, and how the ride is. On Tuesday, August 21, 2012 2:19:06 PM UTC-5, Peter M wrote: So I have been riding the bombadil more this week and it is an awesome ride but it still just feels a bit tight on the top tube. I have short legs and a long torso so it is hard for me to find a bike with good lenght on the top tube without having zero standover. I was looking at the VO site though and I never even thought to look at their bikes since I usually just get parts from them. The Polyvalent MKII looks like the business with a nice long top tube and reasonable standover, bosses for lights, short horizontal drops, and a nice fork rake. I do hate that it is not lugged, which I dont know if I can get over or not. I would really love to go up to the 56cm Bombadil but since they are as rare as hens teeth it looks like I will have to shell out the 3k to get one which would be a year of saving at least. In the mean time the Polyvalent looks like a reasonable alternative as a stop gap. I was just wondering if anyone has owned or knows someone who has owned a Polyvalent who would know if it is a nice Rivish ride for a bigger (see fatter) guy. Thanks All.

First, took me a while to get the fit down and when I did, man oh man was the ride smooth. My LBS guys had not seen this bike before; one guy rode it and said, that's the way a bike should be. . My build is pretty standard except for the quill and stem. I used a quill that morphs to a 1 1/8 top so I could use a mountain bike stem. The point was that I was unsure about fit and wanted a 4 or 2 bolt stem where I change the stem without the unwrapping, rewrapping handlebars. Glad I did that. Started with a VeloOrange 9cm 107 degree stem, will wind up with a Dimension 9cm 127 degree stem. Another tidbit...I ultimately decided on a 9 cog cassette. I will probably change to an 8 cog...for me, the 9 speed is too many gears, too much fine shifting for the barcons (Silvers, by the way). I just want to push and chunk in, not phanagle. One last thing. I'd probably go with DuraAce barcons because I now know at my correct handlebar height, the Silvers (all metal) will whack my top tube if the handlebars flop that way when I'm carrying the bike or putting it on the rack. I believe the DuraAce shifters have a plastic or rubber covered end which won't nick the paint. The Silver Shifters are excellent in every other way. Oh, last thing..I crashed mine the very first time out. I hit something with the front wheel; to this day I know not what it was. I went sailing and sliding and got up fearing the worst. Not a part on the frame took any damage, not a scratch. Best part: the Rich built front wheel only had a slight bump. All the eyelits and spokes were ok. After conferring with the LBS and truing, the wheel runs great. I think this is a testament to Rich. I'd buy his wheels anytime. Send pictures!
