FS: Curt Goodrich built and Joe Bell painted Rivendell All-Rounder. 59cm c-t seat tube, 57.5cm c-c top tube. Currently set up as a porteur with 700x42 Grand Bois Hetres and fenders -- definitely the fattest tire you can fit with a fender.) Bike was built to take either 26" knobbies or 650b, and was the first 650b bike built for Rivendell -- this was Curt's personal bike. More rackmounts than you can shake a stick at. I tried to fit 650b x 2.0 Pacenti Quasimoto knobbies but it's only like 1mm of clearance at best in the rear sans fenders.  

The paint is really beat up/chipped, but no dents and the frame is straight with no rust. Fantastic riding bike, and it's been a real friend to me -- I'm sad to see it go.  Only reason for sale is I'm taking delivery of a custom bike that serves the exact same purpose.

Saddle height as shown is ~76cm. The bike is really, really great riding, and I'm (inevitably) going to regret selling it cause it is so fun, but... yeah. I'd vastly prefer to sell locally.  Shipping would be at actual cost -- I'll likely need to split it into two boxes for shipping due to the rack and fenders, but can certainly do so.  I'm happy to meet people within ~100mi of NY to do in-person delivery as well.  I'm in Westchester County, NY.  

The complete bike as built (Nitto albatross bars Pearl stem, shellac'd bars with Paul thumbies and Mafac city brake levers, DA post, Rolls saddle, TA Zephyr triple, Phil bottom bracket, polished Paul touring brakes, chromed Soma porteur rack, Ultegra derailleurs, pedals, etc.) is for sale in two configurations.

If you want a non-dynamo wheelset (Shimano LX hubs to Velocity rims) I'll sell it for $1750. If you want it with the fancy dynamo setup (Chris King rear/Schmidt SON front to Velocity Synergy rims and a Schmidt Edelux headlamp) I'll sell with both sets of wheels /and/ the light for $2300.

That's an amazing looking bike! Someone closer to you than me (all the way on the left coast) will probably snatch this up quickly.
