This is still available and now they are only asking $2000 from over $3000 to start. What a beautiful build. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email t

Pictured from a previous owner, so not as currently built. I think I am either the 3rd or 4th owner, maybe further down the line. Frame was re-painted to its current color back around 2006...believe original color was similar to RS2. Specs as follows: Headset Dura Ace Stem: Nitto 10cm lugg

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

Having sold 3 Richard Sachs frames (and traded another), I'm inclined to agree with Doug and Ryan. Very pretty frame but still only a Richie brazed Riv custom. Curt and Mark also extremely nice frames. This is my size - I recently had a chance to pick up a newer Sachs for $1700 - and I would

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

I think this is a pretty special bike and probably worth the asking price. How long it would take to sell at that price is anyone's guess but I think it would eventually sell. I can't imagine sellling it for less than $3500 if it was mine. We are talking about Richard Sachs... THE Richard Sachs.

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

Don't get me wrong, it's super cool that e-Richie built it. For me, that adds some value but it certainly doesn't double the value or anything close to it… On Fri, Aug 11, 2017 at 1:44 PM Joe Bernard wrote: > Yes, this is what I was alluding to in my earlier comment. I don't think > there would

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

Yes, this is what I was alluding to in my earlier comment. I don't think there would be an appreciable difference in design and construction because e-RICHIE brazed it. It's a very nice Grant-designed Rivendell. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

I would agree with you there; it is a GP design and the other 3 builders are just as skilled at the execution of that design On Friday, August 11, 2017 at 3:12:11 PM UTC-5, Doug Van Cleve wrote: > > It is a neat frame and an interesting part of Rivendell custom history. > My issue is that it is

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

It is a neat frame and an interesting part of Rivendell custom history. My issue is that it is not better in any way than a Joe Starck, Curt Goodrich or Mark Nobilette built custom. It is not a Sachs, I would bet the geometry is completely GP, but it's about double the going rate because RS built

I'm just happy my sharing the listing has generated a LOT of discussion! In case you all are wondering, there is at least ONE person who might fit the bike, can appreciate it, and is close enough to actually go for a test ride: ME. I am about 5'9", ride a 55 Hillborne daily, and also have a "

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

One thing to remember is it's a full custom, so the original buyer was involved in the design, too. Grant is pretty strict about using the customer's expressed style of riding to create his vision of how that will look. I would be surprised if e-richie had any more input in the design than Starc

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

Bill, my hunch is that it is that Grant and e-RICHIE came up with what they both agreed on would be a great bike. I can't imagine either of those individuals doing something they didn't believe in! Agreed on the international exposure, but I think they want local cash sale. That obviously limits th
