Hi All,
For sale:
59.5 Rivendell Road Standard, frame, fork and headset.
 This is one of the early Waterford builds with the bi-plane fork, '95 or '96. I have owned it for a bit over 5 years. Structurally/functionally it is fine but the original paint will need attention of some sort, depending on what you value. From the time I got it there were some rough spots (shown in the photos). I was going to send the frame to JB for a repaint so I made the choice to see what was going on underneath those areas. The paint in the affected areas flaked off after a bit of prodding with a needle. It's got knicks and stuff you'd expect to see on a frame of it's age but no dents. So hit it with some primer and ride or go for a full repaint.
 It's a great bike but I've come across a double Joe, Long Low that is a better fit and takes a bigger tire so this one will go.
550.00 plus shipping.
 Have a look at all the pictures linked and feel free to ask questions. 


Thanks,
 - Frank

Frank:

The serial # will tell you the month (A = Jan and etc) and year of manufacture (95 or 96 in the #) The rest of the serial is which position in the production sequence that month it was and the initials of the builder.

I went the repaint route (at Airglow in GA) on mine and a 650B convert (takes 38 mm Pari-Motos no problem) and have been very happy with it.  It's a very snappy ride and quick handling for a Riv. Comfort too with a slack seat tube and nice tube set.

Hope someone gets it and likes it and you get the bike you prefer.
