Fully quotated for posterity: “Hi, up for sale is a buttery scrumptious mustard cream super hero bike turned fast sold out Rivendell classic. It’s like the cosmic cool standout relative or friend that you just want to always be around. A few nicks and scratches from transport and storage but overall in great shape. It is size 60cm that I measure the toptube at 59cm (center to top) and toptube 59.5 center to center; it has 700c wheels and built light on the feet tho like a frickin tank. Great ride that eats up and then smiles on all terrains. “If the Greek god Zeus rode a touring bike, it’d be a Rivendell and most likely, it’d be a Joe Appaloosa. Rivendell is straight forward with the Joe Appaloosa. First off, it’s named after a rather unique breed of horse, then, they took their two most famous touring bikes, the Sam Hillborne and the Hunqapillar, combined them and made one bad-ass road touring bike. These bikes are confidence-inspiring works of art, chiseled from stone and as timeless, or legendary as mythology. Ok, maybe that was too much… They’re just damn sexy! “Those frames scream fully-loaded confidence with a fist-sized gap between the rear tire and seat tube, ensuring that even if you want to dive into a turn, this frame will take its own, secure and smooth line. Which is great for a touring or city bike. Loaded on descents, this long wheelbase makes for a predictable and comfortable ride. “Or, to be more concise, the Appaloosa is: “It’s not for stunts, boulder-bouncing, or loaded expeditionary off-road touring, but as a trail bike for sober non-yahoos who weigh less than 215lb, it’s ideal, perfect.. That 215lb isn’t a scientifically-derived number, just a hipshot suggestion based on the Joe having a heavier fork than Sam’s and lighter one than Hunqapillar’s.” “For $2,250 complete, this bike could be yours and you’d have one of the most incredible looking touring and town bikes around. Why so much $ you may ask-Well this bike rocks and last one that sold on EBAY WENT FOR $4,000, tho admittedly a little better better components. “Find out more about this ride on Rivendell’s website or other online blogs.
