FS 58cm Rambouillet

[Scott Loveless]

Hi, guys.

I'm selling my 58cm Orange Rambouillet. $1000. It will be packed at
the LBS, buyer pays actual shipping from 17011. Local pickups are
fine, too.

Photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/CjXMrpmPRKyMh16k2 If you have
any trouble accessing the photos, please let me know. I'd be happy to
attach them to an email. If you'd like to see something that I've
managed to not photograph very well, I'm happy to take more pictures.

First, the bad. The top tube was repaired by a previous owner. This
was obviously a professional repair. The new paint is blended nicely
with the original. However, as most of you know, this particular
orange is nigh impossible to match. In good light, if you know what
you're looking at, it's pretty obvious. You should be able to see it
in the photos. The untrained eye would probably never notice. The
Jack Brown greens are nearing the end of their life. While there's
plenty of tread material, the sidewalls are starting to feel a bit
papery. They're certainly not unsafe, but will likely need to be
replaced within the next year or so. If you'd like, I'd be happy to
swap them for some new 28mm Panaracer Pasela tires.

The very good: The wheels on this bike are really nice. Chris King
hubs laced to Velocity Aerohead rims. 8/9/10 speed compatible freehub
body. My kids call this bike "the angry hornet".

Currently, the bike is set up with a 9-speed drive train. Dura-Ace
rear derailer and Dura-Ace down tube shifters; indexed/friction
switchable. The rings on the Specialites crank say 9/10 speed.
Shimano 600 front derailer.

Blackburn Chicane cages. Ultegra headset, Nitto stem. Noodle
handlebar, 46cm. White cotton tape with Ardbeg plugs. Tektro levers.
Shimano calipers with Kool Stop salmon pads. I believe the seat post
is a Kalloy or similar. The B17 Special is well worn and shows it's
age. The copper rails are tarnishes and there's some superficial
cracking around the rivets. I put some VO goop on it when I got the
bike, and then put it on a shelf in favor a different saddle.

The pedals are not included, but if you need something I have a box
full of quill pedals. I'm happy to include them if you want.

If you're interested, but want different components, please let me
know. I have a pretty big stash of parts. For example, I could swap
the rear der for a 10-speed 105, cassette for an 11-30 10-speed and
the 9-speed down tube shifters for 10-speed bar ends. I could fit a
Sugino triple if you're more interested returning this bike to an
original configuration. Just let me know, and we'll work something
out.

I can accept Paypal, Google Wallet or cold, hard cash.

Thanks!

Bill,

I don't anything even remotely as nice. So far, this is my first and
only Rivendell, and was my favorite bike. I suffered an injury early
last, underwent surgery, and now, over a year and half later, still
can't ride anything with drop bars. An Electra Ticino, an Albatross
on the MB-2 and a Jones Loop on the Toughroad keep me going. A 70's
Raleigh Sports is my work-in-(very little)progress.

Perpendicularly yours,
