Maybe I wasn't, but after reading the excerpt you provided I think Rivendell uses halo marketing (or whatever you want to call it) very well. A shopper might visit the riv website drooling over a frameset that is completely unaffordable for them, and find something rivish at a price point they can afford - like pedals, a handlebar, or a bag to make their bargain bike more rivish. Seems like marketing 101 and I can't think of many companies that doesn't have flagship products and tiered pricepoints.
