FS 59cm Rivendell Rodeo

[Bruce Smitham]

For sale is my 59cm Rivendell Rodeo. I've come to the realization that it is just a little too big for me and it's time to let it go. It's such a beautiful bike and works perfect. I purchased it from fellow group member Don Compton and proceeded to pour a considerable amount of money into it with multiple upgrades. I can answer any questions you might have and I tried to document the condition with my limited photography skills. I'd love to sell it local here in San Diego but am willing to pack it and ship it via bikeflights.com if necessary. I'm asking $2,300 via paypal "friends and family" plus shipping CONUS. Extra discount for local pick up, Here are the pictures: https://flic.kr/s/aHskxBeswb

And here is the build:

59cm Rivendell Rodeo in baby blue color

White Industries VBC crankset 172.5mm arms & 44/28 rings

White Industries bottom bracket

Campagnolo 10 speed Chorus Carbon shifters/brake levers

Campagnolo 10 speed Chorus cassette 13/27

Campagnolo 10 speed Centaur rear derailleur

Interloc Racing Designs Needle bearing headset

Nitto Noodle handlebar 44cm

Nitto quill stem 90mm

Brooks B17 Titanium Champion Special saddle black with copper rivets

Campagnolo Record hubs

Velocity Aerohead rims 32 spokes rear & 28 spokes front

Thanks,

That's a rad bike and a great deal! If I didn't have my '99 Joe/Joe Road Custom, I'd be all over this...

Beautiful bike! Good luck with the sale. Should you reach a point where the frame/for? headset shipped become an option, please contact me.

Likewise, if I'd be interested in everything else but the F/F/HS.

Thanks,

That is a beautiful bike with a very nice build at a very low price. It's a good thing my size if the 57 ...

Bruce: How do you like the 35 mm Kojaks? I found them nice tires for the price and the type (belted, all around tires, not racing tires), and they are even nicer if you, as I briefly did, run them tubeless.

This is a duplicate post from the "bob" forum.  As predicted, a lot of us would want to part this Rodeo out.  Ultimately, it's up to Bruce, but don't be too quick to want the frame & fork alone.

"Someone better grab this complete bike quick.  I've ridden it, and it's fast and handles great!  The VBC crankset and Campy combo with brifters makes it a little off the "Riv reservation" but the set up can't be beat for a truly go-fast and light steel lugged bike.  If you're tempted to ask for the bike to be parted out, you'll miss out on this terrific build.  Changing the components may alter it's quickness and feel. " 

Dealing with Bruce is great too!

Hi Patrick,

I really like the Kojak's. They seem to work the best on the Rodeo. I tried other tires but these were the most lightweight, cost effective, stable and durable that I found. I never ran them tubeless but I'm sure they would be even nicer.

Cheers,

Bruce

Believe me, if I didn't have a complete, 10 speed index Shimano set up w/bars, saddle & wheels and no frame, I would have purchased it already!

The Roadeo is sold

Well, there's another good looking 59 Roadeo that I think is still available here:

Not mine, but I know Forrest is a good guy.
