Dear Forum Friends,

I posted my Rivendell custom for sale a couple of months ago, and it
didn't get sold. I'm still not riding it, and the dough would now be
handy to cover some additional repairs on the old home front, so I
thought I'd try again.

$2650 is the *most* attractive I can make it without having too much
regret about selling it.

This is essentially the same post:

I haven't ridden it much in the 10 years I've had it. I'm not a racer,
and prefer to get around on my Saluki commuter. I am the original
owner.

The bike is fast, light, and handles great.

The frame was built by the legendary Joe Starck, and painted by the
equally legendary Joe Bell in 2001.

The frame size is 63.5cm, center-to-top, with a stand-over of 87cm.

The top tube is 58cm, measured center-to-center. The chain stays are
44.5cm.

There are some pictures, and additional specs, here on Flickr:

The bike is clean, well-cared for, and barely ridden. It has spent the
last several years living in my office at Rivendell. I've never used
an odometer, so I can't tell you just how many miles it *doesn't* have
on it, but it isn't many.

Email me with any questions, or if you need more photos.

Cheers, and thanks for looking,

John

My two cents: $2700 for a Joe Starck is a wonderful buy and with that
build it's a steal. For someone tall who needs a short tt, this would
(IMO) be a far better deal than a Roadeo. I've got a Joe/Joe and it is
indeed a wonderful bike.

Thanks for selling it John - I was racking my brain trying to come up with the cash, but I have my own this-old-house projects competing with my meager mad money.
