Paint would be nicer on the Chevy. Off road performance gotta be better on the Blue Bomba. Those BG cantis would be a sweet flourish on a tough-as-nails off-roader. Need some as new Bullmoose bars to go with those as new brakes?

That would be pretty excessive to own two Bombadils. On the other hand, I've been thinking about giving Riv $1225 for a Chameleon Cheviot, and I was going to set it up for off-roading. Sending $1200 to Tom would be a comparative bargain. On Friday, October 10, 2014 3:46:20 PM UTC-7, [email protected]<http://gmail.com> wrote: D'oh!

This is the first of what will likely be several Rivs (Bleriot, Atlantis?) of similar size that I'll probably put up for sale here as I try to fund a new project. I'd be happy to sell it as a frame/fork/headset/BB, or as a complete bike. Frame/fork/headset/BB, asking $1200 shipped. There are some chips and rubs, no dents. If I kept it I would probably have had it repainted, but I'm a bit fastidious about such things. It's a great frameset. Here's a pic: https://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/10492202654/in/set-72157637736975573 As a complete bike, you'd be buying a truly unique build - a single speed Bomba built around a beautiful wheelset using Ghisallo wooden rims, complemented by parts selected throughout for beauty, comfort and functionality. Full build list attached, includes high-polish Bruce Gordon cantis with Paul levers, Peter Weigle-modified Campy front hub, White Industries ENO Eccentric rear, Stronglight crank with custom Bespoke Chainrings single ring, Phil Wood pedals, Nitto Bullmoose bars, Nitto Lugged seatpost, Berthoud rack/saddlebag combo. It rides like a Riv, with plenty of Hetre comfort. Here's a pic: https://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/13174275065/in/set-72157637736975573/ There are lots of other pics in my Flickr stream. About $4500 invested. I know this bike is not for everyone, but if you're interested you won't find another bike like it anywhere. I don't have a clue what a bike like this is "worth", so if you're the right buyer, make an offer for the full bike or some combination of frame and parts you're interested in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ **************************************************** This email (and any attachments thereto) is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
