For sale: orange *Rivendell Rambouillet*, size 56.
Pictures are here (too big to post here, sorry): https://www.flickr.com/photos/88267393@N02/sets/72157649103109202/ There is a long story behind this sale, but the too long; didn’t read abridged version: I bought this bike locally, never really rode it, had a 2 nd baby, sold the bike, turned out to be the wrong size post-sale, and bought it back to make right as a result. Now it’s for sale again. In the meantime, the bike’s componentry and working condition has been significantly improved from my original purchase, and it is 100% tuned and ready to ride. The bike is currently located in New Hampshire with a mechanic who has meticulously fixed it up. It was advertised to me as a size 60 Ram—my first mistake was never confirming this. The actual center of BB to top of seat tube is just about 56cm, so this appears to be a size 56 Ram. *Size* *Seat Angle* *Head Angle* *Fork Rake* *Top Tube* *Chain Stay* *BB Drop* *Stand Over* *56* *72.0* *72.5* *4.5* *55.5* *43.5* *7.7* *80.8* Two issues, up front: · the prior owner thought that the paint on the top tube was too chipped (“beausage”) and decided to re-paint it orange himself; the top tube orange is a little darker than the rest of the frame. The new paint is pretty good, and the rest of the frame is pretty clean. · The bars are 25.4 while I think the stem is 26.0, so a Nitto shim (http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/hb91.htm) is installed. Works great. To the good stuff: the bike is 9 speed, with: Ritchey 110bcd black compact cranks (brand new BB), Dura Ace 7700 shifters, new Tektro bigmouth brakes bought from Riv (works with this 700c setup and should work for a 650b conversion (not sure, but SHOULD), Ultegra-level (just re-packed) headset, new 12-27 cassette, new chain, light road wheels, 25mm tires, some nice pedals. Comes with the Specialized saddle and 27.2 post as well. But most importantly, the Rambouillet. *I'm asking $1,300*. Given that a comparable Roadeo or AHH goes for quite a bit more frame/fork only, I think we all know this is a good deal, especially now that the bike is tuned and riding great. *Actual packing + shipping from New Hampshire is extra*; I’ve talked with the mechanic who has the bike, and he will pack the back and facilitate the pickup with the purchaser from their delivery service of choice. Thanks all! Happy to discuss any questions. https://www.flickr.com/photos/88267393@N02/sets/72157649103109202/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
