It looks like the gold frames are only available in 48 now, and the blue only in 57 or 60.
That's how I read it anyway.
Day 1, 7:40 PM PST.

Glad I jumped on the 54 when I did!

Has anyone received a shipping email yet? I spoke with James today and he says due to the amount of orders, they're a bit behind. 2-3 weeks for my frame+parts. I did not ask for it to be prepped. I believe that prepped frames take a lot longer.

It looks like the wheelbase was scooched up a bit. No double top tube either I suppose, at least not in the product description.

I picked my frame up from Golden Pliers in PDX today!
For those not yet hooked up, Kevin has a blue 54 and a dark gold 57 that are not (yet) spoken for ;-)

Lucky!
Was there a pre-order? I'm a bit surprised at how long James told me for my frame to be honest with you. I ordered 2mins into the go-live :( Oh well, I still need to get a wheelset so I suppose no rush

Not a pre-order, per se. But I'm fortunate to live in Portland where, as many of you know, John Bennet ran Rivelo as a Rivendell outpost for 5 years. When he
shuttered early this year, kindred soul Kevin Purcell at Golden Pliers took over the local Rivendell dealership in what appeared to be a pretty seamless transition. As most of you know the approximate arrival date of the Sams was made known months ago. Once I made the commitment to get one - thanks to the rich Riv community in Portland and Russ's review on Path Less Pedaled - I reached out to Kevin and put down half as a deposit back in August (?) Whatever happened after that between Golden Pliers and Rivendell I wasn't privy to but it worked out well.

I imagine it's a pretty unusual and unique bike shop that would work well as a Rivendell dealer and there's a number of reasons why they are as rare as hen's teeth so yes, we're lucky to have one local that gets it.
