FS: Rare 71cm Waterford Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen Complete Bike

[Joe K.]

Bike was purchased direct and built by Riv in 2013.  All components from Riv: Albatross bars, Dura ace bar end shifters, Nitto stem and seatpost, silver cranks, Brooks saddle, and Shimano derailleurs.  Bike has been stored in garage and is in pristine condition.  Not ridden much over the last 7 or so years.  This size is no longer produced by Rivendell and would require a custom order. Asking $3,000, please message me if interested.  Bike is located in Orange County, CA.  Thanks!

Dream machine! Waterford made, I think? Clearances? Unfortunately, I’m as short of cash as I am long of leg, and can’t afford a lovely bike right now, but I (and most everyone else) want to know more! And see more, if you wouldn’t mind some close ups. It’s a rare bird…

And apologies for asking, but what else you got hanging in the garage? Any more biggies? So many medium sized Rivendells show up on here, show them bigs!

Thanks for sharing

Bill Walton, RIP, would have loved such a bike. The double top tube was perfect on such a tall frame. Gave it an aesthetic appeal.

It really is a dream machine and would have fit Mr. Walton well!  Attaching some more pics!

On a side note, I'm 6'6" with a 99 cm PBH.  Anyone my size or bigger would love this bike!

Very cool. I wish the images were larger. I'd love to see some detail. I love the double horizontal top tube. My 64's bottom one is curved. I'm curious. What's the top-tube length? (I'm sure it's too long for me. I have a 99 cm PBH but I'm two inches shorter than you–all legs.)

Thanks, 
Aaron

Here's a link to the Riv geometry chart.  The geometry appears to be nominally (maybe a couple of millimeters) smaller than what is listed as the 72 cm.

Any idea on the PBH recommendation? Can you measure the stand over height?

Thanks

SO is ~96.5 CM, my PBH is 98.5 which should probably be the floor for this bike.  Please let me know if I can answer anything else.
