Regarding builders: Joe Starck definitely built Road and All Rounder frames. I'm not so sure he built Rambouillets, unless perhaps a prototype or two? It occurs to me that the Roco Bebe kid-carrier bike is missing from your list. On Sunday, November 28, 2021 at 1:34:30 PM UTC-7 Fullylugge

Sachs designed the lugs used on the earliest models. He didn’t make them or any frames. Waterford was the earliest vendor and as others have noted, a few other small builders have helped over the years, Nobilette most recently. Toyo did several frame models for a period of about 5 years, and Pa

Steven, you are right about "unofficial customs" like the snapshot of an early catalogue posted by Joe Bernard mentions where it notes a 300.00 upcharge. And Nathan is right that during a peak demand period they used some US top builders for customs and RS was one of them. I think one was for s

Eric, Sach's decade long waiting list is a recent invention from frame building's explosion in popularity around the late 00s / early 10s. It wasn't always that difficult to have him build you a bike. In the 90s I believe he designed some lugs for Rivendell, and then later made 3 frames or so

I’ve never heard that they used Sachs as a builder. Hasn’t he always had a long waiting list? I think they’ve used a Sachs fork crown or lugs, or maybe he used theirs. On Sunday, November 28, 2021, Ryan wrote: > Customs...I feel Riv started mixing tubesets(Reynolds/Vitus/Columbus) > and tweakin

I ordered my Riv Road Standard in ‘98 and received it in ‘99. It could have been match built, but I specifically asked for Joe Starck to build it. They were encouraging people to go with match, but left it up to the buyer at that point. I’m pretty sure the intent was for match to replace Waterford
