Now for something completely different. This flamed Bridgestone would rule amongst all the Harleys and lifted pickups here in Lake County, CA. Pricey but I'm tempted! 😁

That’s a cool bike but for (shameless plug) $800 less you can buy my bike:

Yeah, it’s not 2021 anymore. The used bike market is pretty much collapsing.

That's a ridiculous price...parts are nice but nothing special...someone's cashing in on the Rivendell brand IMO. Frame is $2000. Is the part spec worth $3500?

Yeah, but this bike is in a city where a condo costs $35-million.

I removed the Obento Rack/Wald Basket/Nitto Light Mount and dropped the price to $4500 complete and $2000 frameset only. This was an impulse build that I regret. I started the price at slightly lower than what I paid but I realize now that price is too high. I'm looking to sell the Gus to buy a Clem Smith Jr. L complete 45 or 52 with simpler parts and keep the extra cash.

Doug, 
The shiftmate is needed for the Campagnolo Record Brifters, I ran a similar setup in my AHH (it came like that when I bought it) and it worked well. If I didn't have too many bikes already, I'd be all over it.

64cm top tube on that Clem, but not a 64cm frame. Biggies in the H came in at 65cm. This one above is probably a 59?
-Kai (who saw the most beautiful red Quickbeam this morning on the Queensboro bridge, who’s owner said “you haven’t sold that yet?”, regarding my Rosco, to which I replied “It’s the other Rosco I’ve been thinking about selling”. But wow, those Roscos are fun fun fun, and measure 64cm and are considerably zippier feeling that the Clem 65, which I also rode today. I should send one West to the Wasatch Front for yearly shreds, but I shouldn’t….)

The description says it was built in Japan, so Toyo origin. It would have come with 26" wheels; must be a conversion.

Matthew, I love these posts!  How do you do it?  I’ve tried the “search all Craigslist” sites that come up with a search. But they don’t show me half of what you find. 

Well done. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing the wealth.

I agree with Jonathan. My Hillborne is a verified 57cm from the same production run and my headtube is significantly shorter than the one pictured.

It’s a nicely priced 60cm bike. 

IMO, it’s the most desirable Sam: canti brakes and a single top tube. Too bad it’s not closer.

Is this a 57, or 60? Trying to find out what the minimum PBH is for this one.

Grants sizing was so different then. Would that be a 53 by todays and everyone else’s yesterday standards?

That's a really nice setup! I was surprised by the brakes, too.  I thought at first glance that those were from a fancy independent maker, like Paul.  I didn't remember the Campy MTB cantis being that machined/CNC'd looking.

56x56 was a standard "square measurement" dropbar road bike for decades. The closest equivalents in the Riv line now would be the 51cm Homer and the 50/54 Roadinis.

The Heron with the front and rear low riders looks like a modern version of the Japanese camper bikes highlighted in the article in the latest BQ.

The Heron has the semi-sloping fork crown which was introduced for a brief time with the third owner. So still Grant's geometry and still Waterford made but not an early run when Grant was actively involved (if that matters to anyone and it shouldn't I just wanted to throw out some knowledge I recently learned)

Here are a few pictures for thread posterity. Sadly, no drive-side pictures or pictures that show the entire bike without it being at least partially cut off [eye roll emoji] [talk to the hand emoji] [cool emoji]

And this is the one I was supposed to see before I bought the mountain mixte. Now I’m sure I should buy a 59 frame… waiting for a cheap one to pop up. (There’s a 64 for $750 but it’s bigger than I want and it’s in Seattle)
