Hello everyone,
With the pandemic induced economic downturn, I will have to let my bikes go. I have a 55 cheviot that is literally brand new with less than ten miles on it and includes the following build details:
Sugino xd2 cranks (26,36,48 I think), ahearne map bars, brooks leather grips, nitto technomic stem, shimano brake levers, simworks potluck rack, nitto seatpost, brooks sprung saddle, simworks hammered fenders, deore rear derailleur, vintage campagnolo mtb front derailleur, paul thumbies, shimano ultegra bar end shifters, grip king peddles, and tektro r559 brakes. The wheelset is a generic 650b set I got off ebay and the tires are compass babyshoe pass and are 650B x 42mm. I am asking $2000 plus shipping.

The craigslist listing for the cheviot is done but shoppok still has it posted so you can see one image here: https://www.shoppok.com/southjersey/a,28,230029,Rivendell-cheviot----2200--Pennington-.htm

I would be happy to send additional photos to anyone who might be interested. I am not very good with technology so I don't know how to reduce photos to attach for the purposes of the group

I also have a 51cm Sam Hillborne, the black and creme one with canti brakes. There is a small scuff on the top tube which was there when I bought it from a list member otherwise the frame was new. The bike also has fewer than ten miles on it. Build details
Sugino XD2 cranks (26, 36, 48), Nitto noodle bars (46cm), Nitto technomic stem, shimano ultegra bar end shifters (9 peed), tektro brake levers and XC interrupter levers as well. The wheel set is very nice: The front wheel has a son28 front dynohub laced to a Pacenti Brevet 650B rim, and the rear wheel consists of a White Industries MI5 laced to another Pacenti Brevet rim (wheels are brand new). The dynohub powers a Schmidt Edelux light mounted to the front rack. Tires are black Panaracer Gravel Kings. Nitto front rack, and Nitto campee rack on the back. Old used small Sackville trunk sack is on the front. Altus rear derailleur. IRD front derailleur. The front brake is a Paul canti and the rear is a diacompe canti, tektro brake levers. The seat post is a vintage Sakae SR MTE-100 which can adjust horizontally pretty widely (basically the same design as IRD Wayback seat post) . The saddle is a nicely broken in Brooks B-17. Burgundy cotton bar tape, black Velo Orange fenders. Two leg touring kickstand. Grip King pedals. I think that is everything. The bike has less than ten miles on it also. I am asking 2800, plus shipping. 

Again, I am happy to send photos to anyone who asks. Although not RIvy and off topic, I am also selling a 2019 Trek Carbon Checkpoint with 105 component group, and an older Bike Friday Tandem. Thanks for your consideration and please ask questions.
Best,
Robert Blunt
Pennington, NJ

Interested in the 51 Sam, could you send photos? Exactly what my wife is looking for.

Thanks,

Regarding the wheel set, what are the spoke counts? Also, are you running tubeless GK's? and the are rims tubeless ready?, looking at the product page, that seems to be the case, just wanted to make sure one way or the other. What's your PBH? Thx!

Thanks

Holy moly that Cheviot with the (hard to find) Potluck rack is SPECTACULAR. And those fenders! I'm outta the game because I just bought a custom, but if anyone is wavering on this you better jump. That bike in that size in that condition and build isn't going to pop up again hardly ever. Do the thing!
