Hi All, Not Riv content, but some of the parts are from there... Unfortunately my schedule and small child is not going to allow me to commute for the forseeable future. It's no use sitting in my basement, so I'm selling my Tournesol Sportif. I received it Sept 2009, and have probably ridden it 8k miles or so. I'll take new photos this weekend, but here is a link to some photos from about a year ago: http://www.flickr.com/photos/87558561@N00/4180333430/ I can email the geometry drawing to you if you're interested. TT 58 cm cc, ST 60 cm cc, HT 19.2 cm, 72.5 STA, 72 HTA, 42.5 CS. Saddle height is 77 cm in the photos, drop is around 6 cm. Rene Singer lugs, unknown tubing mix.
There are a few changes to the setup and not a standard parts group, so here's the list of components: Nitto Pearl 10 cm stem, Oval Concepts Deep 42 cm bars, Shimano brake levers to brazed on polished Paul Racers and VO straddle cable wheels. That's a logoless CK threaded headset too... Ultegra seatpost, white and black Fizik Antares saddle Drivetrain is the mashup of Simplex downtube shifters and fd, Campy Centaur 175 mm compact crankset (with proper spacers for the 7 spd chain), older shimano rd, and a couple freewheels. It works great. Wheelset is 130 mm spaced Phil Wood freewheel hub (36h) and Schmidt dynohub (32h) laced with db spokes to polished Sun CR18 rims. The rims are two years old and the rear has a dent, so I will include the new pair of silver Velocity A23 rims and a new pair of Grand Bois tires. I had the original wheels built for bombproof commuting, but I was planning on lightening things up a bit. The cool details are the custom CPG brazed on taillight, the eDelux headlight, the painted to match topeak pump, the custom rack and decaleur to hold the Berthoud bag rock steady. 40 mm Honjo fenders (now with a stairtread mudflap) keep you dry. I'll throw in the Nitto cages if you want, but no pedals. The bike has been used, but is in good shape with only a few minor chips. No dents. The gray color (stolen from IF's catalog) was chosen to be low maintenence for commuting, but it has some metallic in it to add some depth in the sun. I can tell you all the little quirks but would prefer to not list them here. None of them are that big of a deal, but I want to provide full disclosure. I'll pack it well myself and it will arrive safely. I don't really know how much this is worth. If you add everything up you get around 6k, but as Steve will tell you it's making everything work together that's the real pain. I'm thinking $3600 shipped, open to reasonable offers. I'm happy to answer any questions. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
