*ME:* A long-time steel rider who has admired Rivendell bikes from afar for years. After being inspired and encouraged by a few regulars on this board, I was finally able to make my way to Walnut Creek this summer to pedal my first. Will put me on a 61.5cm Roaduno with Billie bars (only bike built up in my size). It was snappy, responsive, and the frame specs were spot on for my now preferred upright riding style. I used to log serious road miles on my minty Indy Fab <https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3529607/> but now it's less about speed, distance, and Strava logs. It’s all about comfort. If I can get in four 15-20 mile loops each week I'm happy. Yep, just enough wind on my face to achieve that optimum balance of mental and physical health. It's been working like a charm thus far on my Surly Cross Check w/Soma Oxford bars. But once my Indy Fab finds a new home (open to trading btw), I need another bike right?
*YOU:* Own a 61.5cm Homer or 61cm Roadini with Billie or Albatross bars? You’ve been on the fence about whether you want to find a new home for it. Perhaps it’s not seeing as much action as you had hoped? Maybe you need to thin out your herd? Or could it be you’d like to try out a new model, prep for move, or you’ve decided it’s just a tad too big or small to achieve your "perfect fit"? Whatever the case, you’ve resisted listing your Riv for sale because the process can be so __________________(fill in blank with adverb ending in *“ing”*). *MORE:* I'm 6-2 with a 93.5 PBH and a 80cm saddle height. I'm not much of wrencher (outside of simple tweaks) so ideally I’d be looking for a complete bike. I'm not afraid of a little beausage as long as there’s no rust, and the bike is mechanically sound. I’m looking for something I can ride now, not a Fall project. Are we match? Is it meant to be? Send me a DM.
