Catch and (very slow) release of 1997 Waterford-built Rivendell Mountain Bike.

[Scott Marriott]

I was the lucky duck who grabbed the following from Ted Grant a few years ago. 

Sadly it never really fit me and I really need to let it go to someone who will use it. 

Here's Ted's original listing and I've not changed anything except adding fenders, a Nitto Canti Rack, and a Wald 137 basket.  (All of which can remain for as small fee or be removed.)

I also ran this with a shutter precision dynamo and front light that can be possibly included. 

The original price for the below stands. - $1250. 

Shipping at cost. 

Pickup or reasonable drop-off from Chicago also available (and probably preferred.)

Here are a few more pictures to show the size & to show the seat cluster that has some scrapes from my fumbling to stop the seatpost from slipping. (Also swapped out the seatpost clamp bolt with an vintage Campy mountain quick release.) - https://photos.app.goo.gl/pvskR3Wnw9Fwy3HfA

------The original posting----

Up for sale is my 1997 Waterford-built Rivendell Mountain Bike. Asking price is $1250 plus shipping, which will depend on where and how.

It is a 17.5" frame, with a 55cm top tube (57cm effective). Tubing is Reynolds 753 and 531. Color is classic pumpkin orange with cream head tube. Rivendell Frame Geometry sheet from the time says:

ST angle: 73

HT angle: 72

Fork Rake: 40

Chain Stay: 42.5

BB Drop: 40

Over Locknut: 132

Condition is very good, though there are some dings in the paint. Selling because I've replaced it with a more road-oriented big tire bike. 

It is built up with:

SunTour XC Pro cranks & derailers

Tange BB

Shimano 9-speed bar end shifters

8-speed cassette (yes, this combination works!)

Velo Orange wheels

Compass Rat Trap Pass tires

TRP Revox brakes and RRP levers

Tange Seiki threadless headset, but fork is threaded (yes, this works!)

no pedals, and saddle is not included
