Hi All!

I'm toying with the idea of picking up another Riv. I'd like this rig as a dedicated light off roader/camper rig. Maybe you have a collection of Rivendell's and maybe one of the below is gathering dust because your in love with another bike Rivendell just a tad more. No worries we won't tell the other fine rigs in your stable :) Here's what I'm looking for:

Appaloosa in size 51cm

Hungapillar in size 48cm or perhaps a Bombadil? Not sure of the sizing here?

2018 and above Atlantis in 53 cm

As a 4th option I'll consider a Clem Jr in a 52cm

My PBH is 84cm and my saddle height is ~71.5cm

Ideally I'd like a frame & fork as I like to spec my own build like many others but depending on the mix of parts you have will consider a complete build.

I'm in Los Angeles and will pay for shipping or if within 600 miles consider a road trip? Lemme know what you have and we can chat.

Best Regards,

Hugh Smitham

Afternoon, Hugh! I have a 53 2018 Atlantis that I might be putting up for sale. The catch is that I’m trying to find a 55cm MIT Atlantis 2018 or later to replace it. If I can find a 55, I’d be happy to sell the 53 to you. I rode Grant’s 55 at headquarters this morning and am certain I want the larger size. You’ve seen my photos of the 53 on IG. I realize this doesn’t solve the immediate ask, but thought I’d put it out there. Feel free to reach out here or on Instagram.

Bump:

I have been offered a few bikes so far and I really appreciate the offers. If I'm being totally honest with myself ( as that's always a good policy) I need to hold out for my ideal. And that would be an orange 51cm Appaloosa and 2nd to that a Rivendell blue Appaloosa. Not the 2017 blue but the more metallic shiny version.

If you are on the fence and thinking about selling one let me know? I'd love to chat. Also I really prefer just a F&F and headset.
