I hope no one minds that I'm posting a non-Riv for sale in the Riv group but based on responses from the discussion I had a few weeks ago, I think someone here might like this bike and I'd rather it go to someone here than anywhere else.
As we know Crust are friends of Riv and even sell Riv's. So here I am offering my Crust Lightning Bolt Single Speed Breakaway. I never thought I'd sell this bike but I want to fund a potential Rosco Baby now that I'm a new parent!
It is size medium which I believe Crust called a 56cm. I'm 5'10 with a PBH of 85 and its a perfect fit for me. Seat post had room to go down or come up. They don't sell the breakaway anymore and I don't think they have plans to bring it back. Included in the sale is:
Frame/fork size medium/56cm
Crust/Nitto 6cm stem for 1" threadless fork (yes that's correct)
Stem-matching spacers and brass spacers to keep stem nice and high
Chris King headset
Thomsen set back seat post 27.2
Shimano BB
Ritchey travel case for breakaway bikes (fits maximum airline dimensions so you don't have to pay oversize fees)
As you can see in the photos I ran a cable inside the fork for a dynamo hub/light. I am keeping the light and will either pull the cable if the buyer doesn't want it or snip the light from the cable so you can hook up your own light. (If you want the black Edelux II light with the bike to stay as is I would need a replacement Edelux.)
The bike is in very good condition with just a couple tiny superficial nicks on one of the seat stays. I really babied it as much as I could. And I rarely rode it. I only took it on one plane trip. I agree with Grant that I don't need to be passing "barely-ridden" bikes to my family to deal with when I'm gone. I'd rather someone enjoy this bike as it deserves to be enjoyed.
Asking $1500 + shipping from Los Angeles or local pickup.
