And that is that they have evolved in great ways, and the first four $2000-level bikes currently shown on the models page are:

Roadeo
AHH
Bombadil
Atlantis

And the evolution has been such that these are each the evolved version of the analogous mid-late-90's Rivendell bikes that were named as follows:

The Road Standard
The Longlow
The Mountain
The Allrounder

I was just looking at the "new" Rivbike website section on their
bicycles and frames. It looks to me (unless I've missed something)
that Rivendell no longer publishes the geometry of their frames on the
website. The information doesn't appear in the descriptions for the
bicycles/frames and a search of the website using the term "geometry"
doesn't produce any results. In addition, when I did a Google search
there was a hit for a .pdf file which no longer exists.

Just curious (Grant, et.al.), does Rivendell no longer consider the
information for a bike's geometry to be of interest to your
prospective buyers?

I think it's probably just that the new site is still in a somewhat transient state, and a few things have not been transferred over yet.   I'm sure they'll add the geometry PDFs soon.
