Bike was purchased direct and built by Riv in 2013. All components from Riv: Albatross bars, Dura ace bar end shifters, Nitto stem and seatpost, silver cranks, Brooks saddle, and Shimano derailleurs. Bike has been stored in garage and is in pristine condition. Not ridden much over the last 7 or so years. This size is no longer produced by Rivendell and would require a custom order. Asking $3,000, please message me if interested. Bike is located in Orange County, CA.

It is an amazing bike, sadly collecting dust. Thanks for the comments!

It is a true dream machine. Sadly it is collecting dust. Hopefully someone out there can put it to good use! Thanks for the comments!

I have that exact frame with slightly different parts. It is almost tempting to buy this as a backup. :-)

I probably can’t justify it, though. I hope it finds a good home.

If you are ~6’ 7” (+) (have a PBH of 100cm (+)) this is a really great bike.

I'm 6'6" with a 99 cm PBH and would say I'm lower limit for the bike. Agree with David that anyone bigger than me would love this bike!

This is the first time I can ever say that this bike is too big for me! 6’5” 97cm…

Crazy right?! I know there's someone 6'6"+ that has never ridden a bike that actually fits them. It's amazing to ride!
