FS: Rivendells Wilbury and FX/SS Custom

[Elton Lance]

I’m purging and have two lovely Rivs for sale:

#1) The Wilbury is a 60cm with excellent parts throughout: 

   

- Bars are Albatross alloy with Nitto Technomic Deluxe stem and Ultegra headset.  

- Wheels are polished Velocity A23 32h rims (rear O/C) laced with DT Comp DB spokes to a White Ind M15 in the rear and a 32h SonDelux in front.  

- BB is a Phil Wood.  

- The 8spd drivetrain is an Ultegra RD and Ultegra 8spd Shifters (on Paul Thumbies) paired IRD compact front. 

- Fenders are V/O Zeppelin.  

- Tubus rear rack is Ti.  

- Rear light does not function and is a reflector only.  

- Saddle and pedals are included, as are the Pitlock security skewers and an additional standard set.

- Sugino RD2 50/34 and an 8spd 11/32 cassette in back.

- Rear spacing in 135mm.

Saddle height in the photos is 77cm.  A new inverted/hanging Schmidt eDelux II headlight w/R&M handlebar mount is included but not shown in the photos.  Excellent condition with no dents or dings.  A few scratches (shown in photos) with the most notable being on the drive side seat stay and the front of the seat post lug (which was damaged in a previous shipping event).  I’ll include close-but-not-perfect enamel nail polish. :)

Asking $3000 plus actual shipping.

Photos are here.

-----------------------

#2). Early and unusual Custom (S/N 950084) Fixed/FW Road (Waterford built).  It would make an interesting 3spd build as well.

As you can see here in the photos, the frame is Reynolds 753 and the fork 531.  Saddle height shown is 77cm. 

Some other numbers:

ST - 63cm (c-t)

TT - 60cm (t-t)

Stem - Nitto “Girder” 9cm

Bars = Nitto Noodle 44cm

Brakes - Campy C Record

Levers - Cane Creek SCR5

Hubs - Suzue Pro Max Carbon 32R/28F (Fixed/Free)

Rims - Velocity AeroHead

Spokes - DT DB

Crank - Campy Record 170mm

Chainring - Sugino 75 48t 3/32

Rear cog - Phil 18t 3/32

Also available is a second wheel set (tubeless) with C Record (aka Sheriff’s Star) hubs and Mavic Paris-Roubaix rims built by Peter White (see photos).  The tubular tires hold air but haven't been ridden in many years and should be replaced. I’m running 700x28 clinchers on the Suzue wheel set, which are about the max.

Asking $1750 for the bike with either wheel set and and $2000 for bike with both wheel sets (plus ConUS shipping at cost).  

Saddle and pedals not included (but negotiable).  I have a good selection of other quality cogs (Phil, EAI, etc) as well as several White Ind freewheels if any of those might be of interest.  Mostly new or very nearly so.

Please inquire off-list if interested in either or both.

Elton,

Both of those bikes are beautiful. 

That early Riv fixed is a dream bike for me. Too bad it’s not a 57! Good luck with your sale.

Best,

Aaron in El Paso

Is the Riv Fixie sold? 

That seemed like a special bike. An Ur-Riv, if you will, germinal of Rivendell bikes transcending the Proto-Rivs and the Golden Age bikes. I feel like it deserves a Tolkein name. 

Can you lay some of its history on the list? 

Feel free to start a new thread... :)
