Consider all the kinds of cycling that one could do on a Rivendell Sam Hillborne.  Then consider all the kinds of cycling that one could do on that Trek 520.  Put them in a Venn diagram.  It's pretty much a circle, isn't it?  Sure the Hillborne has a lower BB, and a more laid back STA, and lugs and a cream head-tube.  Maybe a bit longer chain stays, but that 520 is a pretty darn evolved all road machine for an exceptional price.  

I especially like the down tube shifter bosses mounted WAY WAY up the down tube.  That's unique and uniquely cool.  It would still be a long reach if one needs the bars way up there, but if the bars are coming down, they are right there.
