Cheap, urban commuter-friendly frames based on retro-geometry? Lots of 'em.

Pake C'Mute and Urban.
Kogswell. (Out of business???)
Velo Orange.
KHS.
Raleigh RRA or Clubman.
Bianchi has a few.
Electra Ticino.
And so on...

No lugged frames here, alack. That costs money.... because it requires skill and dedication. I hate to say it, but if you can afford an off-the-rack Rivendell frame, you can afford a custom frame from a number of independent builders who will custom-tailor a lovely lugged steel frame just for you. A few will lay out a custom carbon frame in that price range, too.

Riv does sell some lovely bags, tho.
