I can't access either. Would be nice if someone could share a picture, price and location.

Here you go, no connection to the seller, here is the ad info and comments:

Seller: Erhard Rathsack

I haven't ridden this bike in many years and would like to sell it. If you are interested, let me know and I can tell the bike's history, etc
56cm seat tube, 32" standover. I bought it around 2005 I think

I am in Reno, if you are near would you like to check it out and ride it?

The Saluki is 56st, 58tt, 32" standover, 650c wheels. The frame has very little use, less than a year and 1000 miles. The components started off on my old Bleriot which I purchased at RBW in Walnut Creek. After a few years, I swapped out the Bleriot frame for the Saluki then shortly after stopped riding the bike because my cycling commute ended. The bike is located in Reno, NV. The bike rides all Riv, really comfortable. There's a lot of Nitto, Sugino, and Silver components. I estimate the year of the bike to be in the 2005 +/- 3 years. This bike was one of the first modern era 650b bikes.

I looked at what people are "asking" for Rivs on EBay and that was about $2500. I'd take less than that but I am not really sure what a fair price is. I think it would be somewhere between $1500 and $2000. I'd take any suggestions on what I should ask.

Thanks Max.  Too bad no color is mentioned, it may have been my original Saluki if it is green and has centerpulls.  That bike was just too big for me.  Bike is worth a minimum of 2k if in condition as described, maybe more.

It's butterscotch, there's a pic at the bottom, I almost missed it too. That's a pretty bike!

Yeah  no kidding.  That's a screaming deal on a bike that's that sought after and in that condition.  Beautiful color too - not quite like my more common, yellower ones that I used to call butterscotch but - I now realize - aren't.   It's one of the later run ones - without the rear brake hanger bridge but with more tire clearance and the wider (RC-3?) fork cown.  Probably still Toyo made, still has my favorite  pointy lugs and the double-tapered seat stays.  Hope someone here grabs it!

[Eric Marth]

Very cool, thanks for scraping the info for us, Max!

I have been seeing this Saluki pop up on my regular Rivendell searchtempest survey of nearby craigslist ads. See the ad here: https://reno.craigslist.org/bik/d/reno-rivendell-saluki/7512953852.html. I live in Reno, I'm available to help if anyone wants to buy this and finds the seller doesn't want to deal with shipping.

Cheers,

Keith
