I like it but I'm not a big fan of aluminum frames.
Wouldn't mind picking up something like the soma delancey but wasn't sure how the geometry compares and what else was out there that i don't know about which I'm sure is a lot.
I'm a sucker for steel... and lugged steel is sex.
Salsa casseroll will probably be as close as you can get to your rivendell type geometry on a new bike, without going custom. Of course you could find a used Rivey Quickbeam. Then spead the dropouts a bit if you are still thinking of adding a gearhub. I probably get flamed for saying gearhub this forum.
Here's a link of a casseroll. Scroll down a bit.
