The bikes look well thought out from every perspective, to me.

I would love a Rivendell. Probably a Hilsen.
I am fairly impressed with the Rivendell line, although they are out of my price range. I think most of what Peterson says makes sense as well, although a lot of what he says talks about cycling for the masses, not needing special clothes to ride, and how affordable cycling is. This just seems to be diametrically opposed to the products he sells.
