I have decided to sell my Homer to fund another bike project. Here is the Craigslist posting with details if anyone is interested.

Bump. Had a few bites from Craigslist, but not sold yet. Feel free to make me an offer if interested.

For sale is my 57 Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen handmade by Toyo in Japan in ~2008. I recently had it powder coated low-gloss black for durability after the decals on the original paint job peeled. Different paint job, same great steel frame. I have included a before picture. I then re-built the bike with the following parts:

Velocity Dyad rims (700c) laced to Deore LX hubs
Panaracer GravelKing 38 slicks
Shimano Deore XT M771 SGS derailleur
New Albion double crank set with guard
Shimano UN-55 bottom bracket
Shimano Dura-Ace bar end shifters (index or friction) mounted on IRD stem mount
Tektro R559 brakes
FSA 1” threaded headset
Shimano Tiagra brake levers
Nitto DirtDrop stem with 8mm extension

Currently there is no front derailleur installed as I prefer a de facto 1x with option for a bail out gear if necessary, but I would be happy to install or provide a front derailleur if desired. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Price is 1600$ or best offer. Pedals not included, but I can throw in the saddle if necessary.
