Jason:
Like you, my '95 Road Std came as a frame and two forks set a couple of years
ago. I saw how a prior owner had built it up, and wanted something a little
different. Using the recently introduced Tektro 556 brakes, I converted the
bike
to a 650B, which lets me run bigger rubber. Also like you, I went with downtube
shifters, in this case Silvers from RBW. I had a Leather saddle that was
perfect
in comfort but had overstretched (by a prior owner) but which was salvaged by
putting in a longer tension bolt. It has stopped stretching and given many
miles
of useful service since making that fix. Our bikes are the same color and I
list my components next to yours below to compare.
Nice bikes :)

Subject: [RBW] Every bike has a story.
I think every bike has a story and a Rivendell has a special quality that not
many other bicycles have: they take on the character of their owners.
Really, My hope is that this post will inspire others to detail their
setups and bicycle back stories.
