Hi -- long time member (rare poster; frequent buyer)
I bought this bike ~12 years ago -- had belonged to a Rivendell employee -- I believe it is an early Betty Foy with a slightly lower head tube height. $2700 for RBW list members (CL ad here)
~86cm from ground to where the seatpost emerges from the seat tube.
I rode it sparingly (I have a lot of bikes... ). Had a frame builder add canti bosses + repainted by D+D in San Leandro in a classic flamboyant style paint (sliver under the color) -- looks fabulous in person. Paint has two minor dings. With canti brakes fits maybe 2.1 tires -- 40/42mm with fenders is probably the max.
Selling now because... too many bikes + too small for me
In good working order -- needs nothing.
Looking for new home !
