I have a first gen 52 Bombadil, but its not just sitting around and even if it were I wouldn't sell it cause before long I'd be riding it again. I suspect you could wait forever for an inexpensive frame only to show up for sale in the used market. If my experience is any guide those of us who have em will be keeping em a long, long, long time. If you can afford it and like the paint job perhaps you ought to grab the silver and gold one in the riv web specials, or perhaps you could snag that one off ebay and then part out the extra bits you don't use to recoup some cash. With your weight, wanting to tote camping gear, and preferring 650B over 26in wheels I think you would be very happy with a Bombadil.
