There's a 52cm frame and fork on eBay right now, complete with all sorts of parts.

Mike, it is unacceptable that you are selling a 56 Sam Hilborne. I shall withdraw my objection once you make that a 52 cm one.

Damn all you people selling framesets too large to fit me!!

Hi,

Not sure if you still have the frame set for sale, if so, I was wondering if its a 650b or 700c model?

Thanks,
Scott

Hello all!

     I had my Rivendell frame up for sale this summer but there were no takers so I have reduced the price a fair bit. It is a 56cm A. Homer Hilsen frame, fork, and Tange Levin alloy njs headset.   It is a Toyo frame that was purchased from Rivendell last fall.  I am the only owner.  I didn't like the original color and sent it off to Tom Kellogg for a repaint.  The color is a dark olive green and creamy head tube with a clear coat to finish up. It's solid color with that slightly wet look and No pearl or Metallic.  I really like it and think he did a fantastic job. I didn't bother with replacing the decals but if you want them I think you can get them from Riv.  The head badge is, of course, sitting proudly on the head tube.
    
 The frame was only ridden from February to May, mostly commuting to work and a handful of forty or fifty mile rides thrown in for good measure. It has a couple of scratches from normal use and a tiny ding in one spot which I have tried to show in the pics. I have used frame saver on the insides and all in all I would consider it to be in great condition. 

      I am in Manhattan and if anyone is interested and wants to they are welcome to come by and check it out.   If you can get here that is...    Obviously it is still a bit crazy in the city but I think I could have the bike boxed and shipped by the middle of the week. 

I am asking $1050  but would like the buyer to pay for shipping.   I will pack it up nice and bring it to Fed Ex or UPS.  My bike box is at work right now and there is a giant crumpled crane blocking my path so I can't figure out the box dimensions till I can get into work and get a quote from one of the shipping companies.  Its a riv bike box if anyone knows the actual dimensions and wants to figure shipping costs.

  Mike

P.S.  I don't post very often so when I do it still takes time to go through and I seem to get lost in the shuffle here and there but I will do my best to answer any questions.  

Here are pics...

I saw that - comes with too many additional parts for me to consider it. If it was frame/fork/headset only, this would be perfect- AND I am travelling to Toronto for Christmas, that bike was in the right place, at the right time, just the wrong extras/cost. Of course, I am also guessing that a 52 has a approximately 55 cm Top Tube and will the right fit.
