Hello fellow Rivendellians,

My riding style and priorities have changed over the last couple of years. Currently doing alot more kid and grocery hauling on the Big Dummy than riding 200k's on this beautiful machine. So I am offering it up here. Purchased from Riv and most of it is standard Riv build. Here are the specs:

Frame/fork: 50cm Rivendell Rambouillet (blue)
Headset: Shimano Ultegra
Stem: Nitto Technomic Deluxe
Handlebars: Nitto Noodle 41cm with tressostar shellacked cloth tape and velox bar plugs
Brake levers: Shimano Tiagra w/ Tektro interrupter levers
Shifters: Dura Ace downtube (9 speed)
Brakes: Shimano Ultegra
Cranks: Sugino XD triple (170mm)
Front Der.: Shimano 105
Rear Der.: Shimano Ultegra
Hubs: Shimano 105
Tires: Panaracer Pasela (w/TG on rear)
Cassette: Shimano Ultegra 9 spd (I think, but could be 105)
Front bag: Sackville trunksack (small)
Front rack: Nitto Mark's Rack
Rear rack: Viva saddlebag support
Rims: 26". Not sure here. Came from Rivendell without stickers.Either way the rims are classic Riv and have been great.
Bell: Crane

I believe Riv still has the geometry chart somewhere on the site. I have an old link to it I can send along. I am planning on keeping the Brooks saddle and the Carradice Barley rear saddlebag (seen in the pictures). I'll also keep the Look Keo pedals. So no saddle, pedals, or rear saddlebag included.

I checked with my local shop with regards to a professional pack and ship. The quote was $200 for the complete bike without the racks/bag. I can try to ship those separately for an additional fee or the shop can probably send them for a total shipping cost of $225 (includes insurance). I am attaching a few pics and will send along others.

So, cost would be $1300 for local pickup, $1500 for professional packing and shipping (minus racks/bag) or probably $1525 including the racks and bag.

This bike is a great randonneuring bike.Please let me know off list if you're interested. Would love it to go to a good home and continue to serve as a great brevet bike.

Would also consider trading for a like sized (48cm) Hunqapillar. Been riding alot more dirt than pavement lately.

I would love to perform a Rambouill-ectomy on you, but I am not a 50 in that frame, and I just got done performing a Bleriotomy.

 

Think 2x's before selling. That is a sweet and not very available road bike. Wish I had one!! That is my favorite Riv bike and color!!!!!
