For some reason, I decided to do my Personal Rivendell Timeline (frames & 1 complete):

01) 12/18/2012 - $950 - Sam Hillborne - 56 cm, Blue headtube special, DTT, sidepulls (since sold, replaced by the orange Sam)
02) 11/27/2014 - $1800 - Bombadil - 52 cm, Hunq green, diagatube, tentacles
03) 03/13/2015 - $700 - Clementine - 52 cm, Black
04) 08/28/2015 - $1000 - Betty Foy - 60 cm, Blue
05) 11/28/2015 - $1150 - Sam Hillborne - 56 cm, Mettalic Orange special, DTT, sidepulls (since sold)
06) 10/19/2016 - $2500 - Protoveloosa / Long Bike / Mystery Bike - 54.5 cm, diagatube, tentacles, only complete bike bought
07) 12/15/2016 - $1600 - Hubbuhubbuh - small, Orange
08) 03/21/2017 - $850 - Rosco Bubbe V1, Frame # 7, 50 cm, Flanker Green, bought from Rivelo
09) 03/10/2017 - $800 - Rosco Bubbe Medium Mountain Mixte - 54 cm, Blue
10) 12/19/2017 - $1500 - Frank Jones Sr - 57 cm, Homer Blue
11) 05/02/2018 - $900 - Roadini - 47 cm, Blue - (since given to my sister)
12) 10/12/2019 - $800 - Rosco Baby  - 52 cm, Blue
13) 11/18/2019 - $1600 - Gus Boots Willsen - Large, Blue
14) 02/19/2020 - $4352 - Custom - 53.4 cm - Orange - ordered 8/8/2018
15) 06/19/2020 - $3200 - Keven's Bike - Blue

So I still have a dozen Rivendells, I had made a list of keepers and ones to sell, but they all seem to migrate back to keepers. The Roadini was built as a small visitor/guest bike and was never "my" bike. Odd that I sold the two Sams, they we great bikes, but were basically replaced by the Custom as the main road bike.

The current most active project is a Crust Clydesdale cargo Fork installation on the Clementine. Just laced a 650B Cliffhanger to a Rivendell Silver rear hub and a 20" Cliffhanger to a Panasonic dyno hub for this project. Also laced 700C Velocity Synergy rims (used - from the orange Sam) to a Shimano Deore rear hub and Shimano Alfine1.5W dyno hub for my wife's Betty Foy.
