Doug, That's my friend Bryn's bike! You rode with her and Arlo at least once: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/4469017732/ Here's a photo to show how fast she can go on it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/4469041906/
The frame was made in the transitional years after Joe Stark and Curt Goodrich stopped building, and when Grant was trying on different builders for size. Richard Sachs built three Rivendell customs, of which this is frame number two (RS2). If it fits you or someone you care about, would be a GREAT road bike. Classic road geometry, fits a 32mm. I always kept bugging her to do a 650B conversion on it, as I think it begs for one! Classic garage queen, she rides her MTB and now her Salsa XC bike a lot more. This one has had probably less than 50 miles since purchasing the Salsa in 2010. Unmentioned is that it also has a TA Zephyr triple crankset, the best crankset ever made according to some highly biased people. They are flexible on price, so don't let the asking price scare you off. They're hoping for an off-shore collector type with petro-dollars to burn that will swoop in and grab it. If that's not you, drop 'em a line and work something out!
