Hi, I'm interested in your Bombadil. Are you re-considering selling the complete bike? or at least with some parts, like the bottom bracket, wheels, & brakes? I'm interested either way?
Can you tell me the stand over height at the mid-point of the top tube? I'd need to know what 650 tires are on it when taking this measurement, too. The Rivendell site says I'd fit a 56 cm, but I test rode the 56 cm that was in their showroom floor and it seems I could go higher depending on the tires I use. The test bike had off- road Quasi Moto 2 inch tires. I'm planning on using smoother road tires, so the 60 cm might work for me. Where are you located?
