IMHO Rivendell owners are not very objective. They are fans of an ethos and sometimes their opinion of the bikes needs to be taken with a "pinch of salt". I own 3 Rivs. I like the Ram and the Quickbeam, but I'm not a fan of the Atlantis....it's a bit sluggish and I might sell it. So you'll get a nice bike if you buy a RIvendell, but there are plenty of cheaper places to buy a bike that you'll probably like just as much.
