I don’t have the original receipt since I bought it used from the first owner. I think it is in California right now. I’ll look and see if I have the serial number in an old email or pic and PM it to you. I remember it likely being from the first batch of frames based on the production date and low serial number. I loved that bike but there was a defect that was causing the paint to peel off the fork. Also the original owner took it on a tour overseas and sanded and primed all the big chips to avoid rust from the sea air. It was a too nice of a bike not to have the frame repainted but I decided that it was just a bit to tall for my PBH if I was going to continue using it as a pure MTB. The other one nit pick that I had was that the tire clearance was limited to about a 51mm Pacenti Quasi-Moto due to the the really low seat stay bridge. I was going to send it to Riv’s recommenced painter, Rick, and he said he could easily raise the bridge a little bit and his price were somewhat reasonable. I believe Riv used a local painter, but not Rick, to shoot the frame. IIRC the first of the Bombadil frames came raw and you had the choice of a powder coat in clear or powder in a limited palet of colors. I think you could also have it custom wet painted at extra cost. I found several upclose frame shots in the silver and gold color that Riv may have used for their site or in a catalogue. I bought it the Bomba from the original owner and he bought it when it was a web special. He or the guy I sold it to may still be on this list and I think I still have their contact info. I also think I saw some shots of your bike on Facebook recently. You have a fantastic bike!
