Rivendell Badge Poster - Now in High Res

[Marty]

Thanks for all the compliments on the badge poster, and I'm happy to say I finally was able to upload the high-res version. The original has a "Baggins" tan canvas border, but I added a black-border version for those who like the models poster that way. (Borders are wide enough now to allow matting/framing if that's what you want to do.) Prints are still available for $25, and I'll cover shipping to the lower 48 USA. E-mail me off-line if interested. The Models poster is also available in both border colors if you want a matching set. Of course, you can download the large size from Flickr and print it for yourself, but I trust you not to go into business. ; )

These are fantastic. All are good but my tops are the Heron,
Atlantis, Saluki, and Hungapillar...and that Betty Foy! Think that
would ever pass by the marketing folks at ANY bike company other than
Rivendell?

Also, when did the variation of the main Rivendell badge happen? Is
the round one an earlier version or were/are they both an option?

[Marty]

Rob, I'm not an expert by any means, but my understanding is that the round Riv badge was used on very small frames - perhaps it still is. (The "standard" badge is quite tall.) I left out a few variations on this poster that I did photograph but simply ran out of room. (maybe another layout in the future?) There were a few more variants of the Atlantis, and a few others were done up in different colors. There's a nice cast Rambouillet, and the very early Riv badges were cast in pewter. (Did not have one of those to shoot)  Agree they are all really quite wonderful, and it was fun "playing" with them in the flesh - thanks to Grant.

I think Hillborne's my favorite.

A few have asked about sizes. The badge poster comes in at 14 x 20, and the models at 18 x 24. Both are printed on a nice heavy archival paper with a semi-gloss finish. I'm told they are good for 100+ years (no direct sunlight) but by then I'm guessing a few more models will be available. (Rivendell is coming up with new ones at a pace of 1.33/year.)

Mine just arrived! They are fantastic and will look great in my
office. Thanks, Marty! (Of course, we'll need an update for the new
"nameless" bike with the Bosco bars that's next in the RBW queue).

[Marty]

Thanks! Honestly, I hope there is always another nameless bike in development, and that the poster will never be complete. I will, however, update it when the newest bike (badge and all) is complete. FYI - for those interested, shipping costs have outpaced my estimates, (I'm using USPS Priority) as have production costs, so I need to bump the price up to $30 to cover all that. Can't pull the trigger on a large enough batch to get better pricing. I do offer multiple discounts though, and may be in the mood for a trade+$ or two, (still looking for a good five speed freewheel, a large Sackville trunksack in black, a Paul silver Gino mount, or ?) just send me a note off list.
