Hey there, long-time lurker here. I started a blog about my randonneuring activity late last year, and decided to write a post centered on the Rivendell Blériot that I bought on eBay from a seller in Arizona back in 2009 and have been riding ever since. Thought I'd share it with this list in case anyone wants to check it out. Also if anyone on here happens to have been the original seller, the bike sure worked out great! (The post includes the text of the original listing.)
Cheers, Aaron

I love Le Belriot! In lots of ways its my favorite bike. At the very least its the baseline bike I compare all others too.

Thanks for posting Aaron. Your blog post has some great info about upgrades to the bike. A good bike fitting must be the best investment in cycling. Followed by great tires.
The Bleriot is such an attractive bike.

As a former Austinite myself it was a short trim down memory lane!
Nice bike too!
I'm afraid I can't stomach Austin these days; I live there at it's peak in the late 70s, early 80s so going there now is just sort of depressing.
Still, OK to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.
