FS: 63cm Roadeo (at Westminster, MD Bike Swap 2/13)

[Austin B.]

Everyone,

Doing some downsizing as my youngest is graduating HS in a couple months. I'll be taking my 63cm Roadeo to the Stop, Swap, and Save event in Westminster, MD this Sunday 2/13. $1800 asking price. If it doesn't sell there I will be posting it here afterwards. Pic below.

Also might take my 63cm Bridgestone RB-1 (1989) to the swap meet if i can convince myself to let go of it.

Thanks,

Austin B.

Sheesh: Entire bike $1K below frame list; what's the catch? (Not a complaint, I'm saying it's so wonderful it's hard to believe!) If it were a 58 it would be hard for me to restrain myself.

Please describe the build, tires included.

And congrats on the HS grad. Be warned: They are expensive in high school, they are much more expensive in college.

@Patrick,

It's the curse of the gangly-large frames--there just aren't that many riders out there that can fit a 63cm frame. Basic supply & demand, right? It does have one key blemish--the pointy lug that points up the seatpost was bent in transport (boxed so they removed the seatpost). it couldn't be bent back and accept a seatpost, so cut, filed, and touch-up paint. Never bothered me.

Ok, the build....I had some different parts on it for the last couple years, but am making it more Rivish for sale using many of the parts that came on it when I acquired it.

• Velocity A23 with 28mm Gatorskins
• VO Grand Cru Brakes (SO much better than Tektros)
• 105 FD, RD and Crankset
• 9-Speed cassette (11-30)
• Shimano barends
• Nitto Dynamic Seatpost with a Brooks B17
• 44cm Noodle Handlebars, IRD levers, 9cm Nitto Tallux stem
• VO Platform Pedals

I think that's it. 

And yes, they are expensive. I'll pour myself a nice, expensive glass of scotch the day they get off my auto insurance policy.

Dang, if only it was 10cm smaller...

Sent you a message. I've been looking for a 63cm! 

[Scott Calhoun]

PM sent too just in case. I posted a WTB for a 63cm Roadeo on this list ages ago.

[Friend]

PMed you!

Thanks, good to see the build, and again, very nice.

I PMed you Austin, but fellow Rivers it might be interested to know a little more about the history of the bike. Do you know what year it was built and are you the original owner and do you know who built it (Waterford, Nobilette, others)?

Best of luck with the sale. From the responses here, it looks like you'll have no trouble moving it along if it doesn't sell at the swap. My fingers are crossed. 

[Austin B.]

Roadeo is sold. I've also got some other Riv-esque parts bin items (Albastache bars, stems, etc) to sell which I'll post here under separate cover at some point.

I saw it at the Swap - seemed to be getting a lot of looks and for good reason. No surprise it sold fast.
