FS: Jumbo Rosco Bubbe Iditabike

[Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY]

Multiple Roscos and multiple bills aren’t adding up, and ever since I put it together, it hasn’t snowed😩. So here for sale is the bestest bike for the larger folks out there. I think it measures 64 at the seat tube, but I’ve got a geometry chart somewhere I’ll plug in here asap.

Some weird rare parts, some not. Heartily patinated racks with internally wired dynamo lights and handmade wooden fenders (pretty lightweight actually). Racks and fenders made by me, the front rack can carry anything you can get into some panniers, with the rear rack only ever having held that light there and the fender steady, as I’m hesitant to load up the back of toptubeless frame. 

I’m keeping the grips and the seat, but everything else you see is included. Also included is a new Mavic 319 rim for when you’d like to swap out the front. Rear wheel came with my Clem and hasn’t seen much of the world.

Very rare! Highly collectible?!

$2000.

Thanks for looking, and happy rolling to all

I thought the day would never come! Really cool bike Kai. I'm sure you'll find it a new home.

This legitimately might be one of the coolest niche Rivendell builds I've seen. *slowly leaves room to avoid impulse decisions* 

[Pam Bikes]

Nice bike but what size is it?  I only the sizes Riv offers.  I'm on the short end 47.  When was it built?  Was it a protoype for the Betty Foy or Cheviot?

[James M]

Beautiful bike!

[Steve]

Nice build Kai - for sure the wildest Rivendell I've seen yet. Just looking at your pics makes me want to go bike packing. Dare I say gnarly ?!? 

Sooner or later  it's gonna snow and you're gonna miss that two wheeled pack mule . 

[Teague Scott]

Oh man. I’ve been waiting for the day one of these popped up here. Alas, now is just not the time for me. Someone is gonna be a lucky dog!

[Anthony Coffin]

Flippin' heck, that is one wild build! Any idea on minimum saddle height and max tire size?

[Josh C]

Killer Kia, just killer!

You may get one snowy ride in with this weekend's Noreaster

Yeah, I knew putting it up on the block would bring the precipitation… still not enough to bring out these Ice Spiker studs. Speaking of which, I’ll include some not ridiculously huge spiked tires in the sale, something to get it close to its maximum size tire of around 2.4”. The seat height is about 73cm for a lowest point possible, probably 88cm in the photos. 

Thanks for all the kind words, and yes, it’s gnarly to the max!

[Teague Scott]

Sweet, thanks. I’m an 83 - knew I’d be more than safe but was just intrigued.

Thanks GoGo!

And with that, the bike’s sold!

Thanks everyone.

Happy trails to all, and I’ll try to sink the proceeds into bills, but if there ends up being a monster Roaduno come April…
