It’s on Jeff’s Instagram:

jeffrey g. frane on Instagram: "Next project, early Rivendell Road built by Waterford. This popped up for a good price so I jumped on it. It’s a really lovely and charming frameset. And that older dynamo hub is really cool. I’ve also really been wanting to own more of Waterfords output. 97th frame built in July 1997. *the dream Rivendell is one made by Match or Curt Goodrich. An All-Arounder ideally. Hit me up if you ever find one for sale* It’s on the big side for me, but I’m going to see if it can work. I was trying to find geo on these first gen Rivendell Roads (looks like it’ll clear a 42), but have come up empty. Holler if you’ve got the links. I’m hoping it’s a bit more “regular.” The stays are a reasonable 440, but I’m curious how low the bb is. I’ve discovered I personally do not care for bb’s lower than 75mm drop. *my measurements put the bb drop at around 70!* Build will depend on if it’s a keeper or not. Built for 700’s but currently sitting on 650’s. #bikejerkshq
