Hey all -- Clearly these bikes aren't from Rivendell, but I think they're Rivendell in spirit. Especially the DeSalvo, which I modeled after the Roadeo. Hope folks are okay with the post.
Hit me up with any questions.
Thanks!

DeSalvo Lugged All-road - $2000
Awesome, light, all-road bike! Ride on the road and grind some gravel.
The bike should fit folks 5'11"ish to 6'3"ish
2012 bike
Prefer local deal but will ship for an extra $100

- Low rider braze-ons on fork for the option of attaching a small rack
- Geometry specs attached.

WorkCycle FR8 - $1500
Haul your kid and/or a lot of cargo with this sweet bike from the Netherlands. We've simply outgrown it, but *loved* this bike, especially having our little guy sitting right in front of us.
I'd say this setup is great for kids under 65 pounds, unless it is just for short, flat trips. Full size passenger can ride sidesaddle on the back too. Super fun!
Or, take the kids seat off and just use this for a cargo bike. The rack is attached to the frame and doesn't turn with the wheel.
- Fits people from 5' to almost 7' -- great for sharing between people.
- Hub dynamo led lighting, wired front and rear!
- Fully encased chain requires virtually no lubrication or cleaning
- Built-in locks; meant to be stored outside for decades
This thing isn't light, so I'd prefer a local deal but if you really want this bike maybe we can work out the shipping.
New this setup costs about $3000. We've had this for a few years but the bike is in great shape and is meant to last a lifetime.
We're pricing it cheap at $1500 for the right buyer. Open to trades for cool stuff too!

Salsa Primero frameset (plus CK headset) - $500
The claim to fame for this frame is that it is made of True Temper S3 tubing. Salsa had to stop production of it because it was too expensive.
A great and rare frame! I've ridden this bike a lot so there are some paint chips and scratches. But I've never abused it and it is in perfect mechanical shape.
Has an Alpha Q carbon fork with carbon steerer tube. Put together with a Chris King headset.
That translates into a 59 effective top tube. I'm 6'3" and it fit great.
Fits 25c tires (or a 28 in back if you want).
Prefer pickup in Portland but will ship for another $50.
