‘95 Rivendell Road, repainted at Waterford

[Cody Marvin]

Bought this from a list member over the winter, the frame got damaged a little in transit (no fault of the seller), so I decided on a repair/repaint. I was lucky to get this to Waterford just in time, it ended up being one of their last projects. I know at least a couple people saw the frame during the Waterford factory tour a couple months ago, thought I’d share a photo now that I’ve finished the build. Well, I’m nearly finished, I can see from the picture I put a tire on backwards. But just about there. Only have about 50 miles on it, but couldn’t be happier so far.

EXTRAORDINARILY BEAUTIFUL road bike, Cody !  I love the color blue.  Congratulations on getting it painting just in time before Waterford closed its doors forever. I hope you cherish for a very long time.

You might want to get some helicopter tape to protect the finish:

may i ask what that stem is? i don't see the nitto branding and it also seems to not have nitto hardware on the backside of the clamp. but the finish looks to be nitto like in quality. 

bike looks gorgeous and proportions look great too. looks like a bike that would fit me well.

Kim, thanks for the tip about the helicopter tape, I hadn't thought about that. Should probably do what I can to protect this thing. 

Michael, the stem is a Soma Sutro. It's 180mm, so in-between standard and Technomic. I think they look good, the height is right for this sort of bike (for me anyway), and they're relatively cheap at around $50.

A very beautiful bike that I can imagine must be a joy to ride. The blue is stunning! May it provide many years of blissful riding!

Looks great!  Love that you found correct downtube decals for the bike.

[Cody Marvin]

Waterford supplied the decals. When I brought it up, he said "You know, we probably still have some of those around here somewhere." Was happy to help them find a use for those old decals before they closed up shop.
