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 ! 

Parts
Original crankset, bottom bracket, kickstand, headset, seatpost, front der
Tecnomic deluxe stem (11cm? 12cm?) + Losco bars 
Real (vintage mtn bike) brake levers -- exc cond

Ultegra rear der (10 spd era?)
