I am selling the first Rivendell that I ever purchased new. It is a 61 cm frame, built up in April of 2006. I purchased it on April 8, 2006. It has long been one of my favorite Riv’s, but I have not ridden it too often in the past few years, mainly because it still has drop bars. I much prefer Alba’s these days, which all my other bikes now have. I just can’t see this frame without the Noodles that it came with. It really is a road bike, and most of my rides these days are commutes or fireroads.
The RBW descriptive about this frame was : *“The Romulus is a road frame, virtually interchangeable with the Rambouillet, and it rides dreamily. But if you're reasonably skillful and have reasonable judgement, you'll find it a delight on fire trails as well (with appropriate tires). The cantilver brakes open up the area under the crown, and let's a lot of things happen there. When you pick your parts from this list, we'll make sure they all add up to a smart, working bike. Any questions, just ask, we're happy to answer anything. Toe clip overlap will happen on 55cm & 57cm frames, depending on your tire, and fenders. It's not a big deal, not worth fretting about, and most certainly is not a design goof. But some folks can't live with it, and if you're among 'em don't get one of these. SIZING: Refer to page 76 in the catalogue, to get your PBH. Your frame size is PBH minus 25 to 27. If minus 25 lands you on a 61 and minus 27 says a 59.”* I have about 3800 miles on the frame and drivetrain. I don’t baby my bikes, so it has reasonable beausage, but no dents. Always garaged. Mechanically, I take good cars of my bikes. However, I don’t wash and clean them often, and barely did a cursory wipe-down to prep for this sale. Just not my thing. The longest single ride I took on this frame was an Oregon coast ride in 2007. I also have ridden it in several local centuries. I am asking $850 + cost of shipping. If you live within 30 minutes of my home in San Francisco (near the Golden Gate Bridge) I will bring it to you. PayPal is OK, otherwise a cashiers check from USPS.
