FS: Rivendell Road Custom

[David Linden]

I have a one owner 59cm Road Custom that I need to sell. Built by Curt Goodrich in the mid2001 timeframe. I have the original build sheet, but not sure how to display that here. It's color code 5056 light  blue metallic. Lighter tube set for my 155 lb. frame. Note: has horizontal rear dropouts. Built for short reach brakes, but currently has Tektro 539 brakes and levers, clearing 32mm tires. Nitto stem and noodles. 

Dura Ace DT 9 speed shifters, rear DR, headset, hubs laced to silver Mavic Open rims, 32 front, 36 rear. FD is ? CD, I don't remember exactly. Crank is a  silver 48/34 Ritchey Logic.

Shimono cartridge BB. ST is a silver Pedal Orange currently carrying a green Brooks B17.

Tires are Conti 700-32mm with some useable wear remaining.

It shows minimal bearsage! However, I'm tech challenged, and still working on how to take and send photos. Has seen almost no rain, here in AZ. I am thinking around $2000  plus BikeFlight shipping.

If I am way off base, please contact me and I'll call you to discuss further. Thank you.

Corrections to the above: the seat post is a VO Velo  Orange 27.2mm. The B17 saddle has had minimal usage, never wet, treated  only with Brooks leather treatment product. I have several other saddles to consider,  and we can talk about later.

The tires are Contiinental 700x32 Grand Prix Four Season foldables. Also, I have two brand new of these tires, which could be negotiated.

Hi everyone — I spoke with David Linden on the phone about his custom Rivendell yesterday. His wife sent me a few pictures of the bike and I'm posting them here to share. It's a beautiful bike in great shape, built in 2001. 

If you have further questions please reach out to David at his email address above. 

David mentioned his PBH is 86cm and that his height is 5' 10.5". 

Plenty of build details above but here is a more complete build list with a few more things added which I learned while chatting with Dave: 

• Made by Curt Goodrich with Reynolds 531, 753, 525 and 725 (see tubing diagram below)
• 59cm frame. Top tube length is 57cm, 1.5% or 2% sloping 
• Never ridden in the rain
• Nitto stem, 110mm
• Nitto Noodle handlebars (unsure of the width) 
• Dura Ace headset
• Mavic Open Pro wheels, Dura Ace hubs. 700c 32/36H. 
• Continental Grand Prix 32mm tires
• Tektro 539 calipers, Tektro levers
• Two Nitto R-style cages
• Dura Ace downtube shifters
• Dura Ace 9-speed rear derailer 
• IRD front derailer (I think? Assuming CD is for "compact double")
• 9-speed Ultegra cassette, 12-27
• Ritchey Logic 48/34 cranks! Cranks are 172.5mm
• Shimano cartridge bottom bracket 
• Shimano SPD pedals
• Brooks B17 special in green
• Velo Orange seatpost
• Two Nitto R-style cages
• Few minor chips to paint, one at the back of the fork crown. Also at frame pump mounting locations beneath the top tube (likely on seat and head tubes). 

More pictures to follow in an additional post!

Wow, nice build, nice tubing, and just my size. I'm not in the market, though, and anyway Bill would scold me for one more delay in building that Libertas.

I'll be interested to see if someone onlist buys it and to hear that person's ride reports.

Eric, thank you so much for what you have done for my wife and I. You went above and beyond: pictures, build list, and all. 

Your generosity is gratefully appreciated.

I hereby promise I would not scold Patrick Moore for buying a complete used road bike for $2000.  At least that would be action.  All action gets my approval.

Very happy to help out, David!

OK Patrick, here's a ride report of sorts regarding this Rivendell, actually on our maiden flight together. I finished it's  build 2 days before leaving for Salida,CO to start that year's sag- supported Bicycle Tour of Colorado. Drove up from my home in Prescott, AZ, spent the night in a motel in downtown Salida, ate an early breakfast,and then rode the bike to Gunnison over Monarch Pass. Set up my tent on the grounds of Western Colorado college. A nice ride BTW, having previously ridden it going the other way.

Had  a spaghetti and salad dinner provided by a  local civic group (a big mistake). Woke up at 0100 hrs with fever, shaking chills, nausea, vomiting,and diarrhea. I saw no way that I was going to ride another 350 miles that week. Got a sag back to 

Salida, packed up the car, drove as far as Cortez,CO, after a few restroom stops. Thinking about Cortez, do you think this was a case of Montezuma's revenge??

Well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
