OR (if you want a ripping good deal on frame/fork/headset/BB and fabulous 
brakes) $1225 shipped with full set of basically new Bruce Gordon high polish 
cantilever brakes, installed.  Here's a pic of these wonderful brakes on this 
frame:

The Bruce Gordon cantis are $300 new for a full bike's worth.

have been ridden for 15 miles since installation.

Bombadil frames are incredibly versatile - I've built one up as a road bike 
with drops

Subject: FS -- 56cm Bombadil

Hi, folks!  My medium blue 56cm Bombadil is for sale.  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:

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:

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.
