My LL dates from 1999, built by Joe Starck, painted by Joe Bell (sage green, contrasting head tube and insets) My desire was for a "sport-touring" bike, meaning that every once in a while I'd load up with more than the Carradice bag off the saddle, option to fit fenders (which I did) with wider tires (running 700 x 30 now) using the long reach sidepull brakes. Its a joy to ride, as I suppose all Rivendell bikes are. I think when I ordered the frameset in 1998 the cost was $1200. I'm not sure when this model was phased-out but at the time it was the decision between the LL custom or standard size/standard paint Heron. I wish I would have had the money to have bought one of each.
