FS (Soonish): 61cm Romulus complete ($900USD); 60cm Saluki($1500USD); 59cm Clementine frameset ($450USD)

[Matt Beecher]

If anyone is wondering, $1500 for the Saluki is a good deal. If I was in the market for another, I would hop on that. The color is great too..

Best regards,
Matt in Oswego, IL

I'll register some interest in that Clementine frame! Would love to see some photos of what you're talking about.

I had a first chance to look at the bikes tonight. I shot a couple videos to give more a sense of how the frames look. I'll continue to clean them up and get them ready for sale with a list of components, but for those who wanted more pictures, here's (hopefully) a link to some videos of the bikes.

The film work is terrible and I feel nauseous after viewing it, but for those with a stronger stomach:

Thanks for looking,

I've reached a point where I need to streamline the stable. I'll be keeping a 59cm Clem L and a 62cm Rambouillet. And am reluctant to let go of my 55cm Joe Appa until I'm sure it's the right choice, so it'll exist as a frameset in a box for the next while, but may eventually end up for sale as well. 

You can see pictures of the bikes built up on my flickr account, although some parts may have been swapped around since then. https://www.flickr.com/photos/140959259@N03/with/34293459844/

I'd prefer to sell the Romulus and Saluki as completes but may consider framesets at some point in the future. I'll try to put up current photos with complete part lists in the near future. The "completes" will not include saddles, racks or pedals.  The clementine frameset will include seat post and headset but not bottom bracket (I'd sell it as a complete, but I worry that I won't be able to find a suitable box). Price does not include shipping (via bikeflights) nor paypal fees (so please either cover fees or choose friends and family).  

Disclosure: 

The Romulus previously had a right rear chainstay/dropout repair. It isn't particularly noticeable and I imagine it is stronger that the original dropout. 

The Saluki has some chain suck and a pretty noticeable paint chip in the cream headtube.

The Clementine frameset has had issues with the paint finish chipping off.  I haven't had this problem with any other Rivendells, including the other 59cm Clem L I have.  I'll try to take some pictures in the near future detailing the kind of paint chipping I'm talking about. 

All of the bikes have chips, dings and other signs of wear and tear, but I don't believe there are any obvious dents. I'll go over all the bikes closely before boxing and will mention and photograph any potential issues.

Timeline:

The reason I listed this as "FS (Soonish)" is it may take me 1-2 weeks to look everything over, take pics and document parts and pack the bikes up for shipping.  Doubtless a more methodical person would take all these steps before posting anything. But I fear that if I delay until I have everything sorted, I'll just keep delaying.

Please feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Update:

Cleaning the Clem L frameset this morning, I discovered cracking in the bendiest part of the top tube. I'm pretty sure it's just the poorly adhered paint having less flex than the steel beneath, but I don't want to take any chances so it is no longer for sale. I'll take the paint off someday, repaint and use it as a spare/backup if the tube itself is ok.  Sorry about that to those who expressed interest.

Thanks,

Pictures of 61cm Romulus and 60 Saluki framesets now available at the following link:

As I'm running out of available time, if anyone is interested in the saluki frameset for 900 or the romulus frameset for 400 (not including shipping or fees) let me know. 

[Mike Williams]

Holy Toledo those are some screaming frameset prices,  damn I wish the Rom was a 63cm.   Someone will snatch those up

It's too bad about the Clementine paint, but I'm 99% sure it's not a frame problem. Anybody who's mounted fenders and/or racks on these bikes can attest to how brittle the paint is when you crank down bolts on eyelets; anybody who's ridden one can vouch for a bit of flex in the frame.

[Sky Coulter]

I completely agree Joe. I just don't want to sell it and here there is some issue. I'd rather sandblast it and repaint it myself someday and use as a backup bike.

Thanks,

Sky in new west

The saluki is now provisionally sold. Thanks to everyone who expressed an interest.

Sky in new west

Update:

Saluki frameset is sold.

Clementine frameset is off the market indefinitely until I ensure frame integrity and likely rattle can a new patch of paint.

Romulus frameset/bike has not sold. It has a right chainstay/drop out repair and that seems to have discouraged potential buyers (I think I offered pretty thorough visual representation in the video and pictures in this post chain). This is the last update I'll make to this post though. Personally, I think the Romulus frameset is worth more than 400 USD - my only motivation to sell is an issue of space and redundancy (it's not quite worth the 400 + space). It's now packed away in a box and I'll likely leave it in a closet until my son is older or someone expresses interest (or something goes wrong with one of my other bikes).

Thanks to everyone who reached out and expressed interest.
