That Rivendell is listed at a HUGE 64cm, and taking 29er tires.
I'm sure I had seen others looking for tall step-throughs, but this one could be a hard sell.

Univega at one time made a tall hybrid either the Via Carisma or Via Montega, I’m surprised I never see them listed here.

So you can keep your hands on the extensions but "finger-tip" these add-ons, as noted you don't get as much positive leverage as hands on the levers themselves, but somebody liked them. Ben Lawee spec'd these on some Univega I took them off of...
UPDATE: merziac Has spoken for them (now I just have to find them... and the rest)
