Does anyone have a copy of the pdf referenced here:

Closet thing I can find, Max, is the announcement in Riv Reader number 41, starting on page 6.

Thanks Eric, much appreciated.

Still looking for that other pdf if someone has it!

Not good enough to read, but in case this jogs anyone's memory, I think this is the one you are looking for?

Good gravy, Marty how is it that you even have this hyper downsampled set of images at all?

Thanks Marty! Interesting, I did find that one, I have the pdf... maybe I've had it all along?

Max, I think you have indeed had it all along! The creation date on the PDF is Sep 9, 2010.

Interesting how the Bombadil graphics on the decals changed over time. Thanks for the link.

Even more graphic variation - this from the original batch:

and a closeup of the style from the .pdf

Thanks for confirming JJ.

I guess now is a good time to share that I have a new project brewing this winter! 

According to the seller he bought it new from Riv in 2016 which sounds off given the details and the build but maybe it was an old demo, stashed somewhere in the warehouse?

Either way I'm beyond stoked about having found such a gem:

Here is the non-drive side decal:

I'll install Bullmoose bars, thumbies, racks and I'm considering new tires. Still waiting for a few things I'll need for the (re)build.

Photos will follow

Does anyone have a set of silver Paul thumbies lying around unused?

I'm also interested in a pair of used Paul Love Levers 2.5 (switching brakes to Minimoto's), otherwise I might end up installing the black ones I have on another bike for now.

Sweet Max. Congratulations on the Bombadil. What size is it? Can't wait to see how you dress it up!

[Eric Marth]

Very cool, Max!

Thanks for the pdf, too

I had a 56cm Bombadil, way back when.  I sold it in maybe 2015?  I don't remember who I sold it to, but I remember the price.  If the person who bought my Orange 56cm Bombadil wants to sell it back to me, I would be happy to discuss it
