It is with some reluctance that I am selling my former everyday (and I mean every day) ride. It is nearly irreplaceable now, since all new 56cm Hillbornes have double top tubes and no canti posts. I have since bought a heavier touring bike and a lighter randoneurring bike, so the Hillborne no longer gets ridden, which is a shame.
Here is a link to my craiglist post, with photos and a full rundown of the build: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/bik/3635171287.html And for history's sake, links to the two times this bike appeared on the now-inactive EcoVelo website. Bad prose alert: http://www.ecovelo.info/2010/05/03/gallery-daniels-rivendell-sam-hillborne/ http://www.ecovelo.info/2010/10/21/daniel-mayeris-photo-contest-entry/ I rode the bike from Berkeley to Portland and back, twice in the Davis Double, as well as to work and back nearly every day for two years, plus innumerable day trips and shopping trips, so the bike is well-used. I have done my best to keep it well-maintained since I needed it to be a reliable everyday workhorse. The numerous chips in the beautiful orange paint might be a deterrent to a potential collector / wall-hanger, but the thought I put into the build, maintenance of the brakes and drivetrain, and overall versatility of the bike should be very appealing to anyone buying it with the intention of continuing to ride the hell out of it. It is the best all-rounder I have ever owned, and would probably be the bike I would keep if forced to get by with only one. With the racks, fenders, kickstand, pedals, and upgraded headset, I have over $3000 invested, so I feel I have priced it fairly at $1800. Please get in touch if you are interested - I can show it in downtown Berkeley or in nearby Kensington. Let me know if you are interested - it's a fantastic bike and I will miss it but I am simply out of bike room and I need to stay safely at a bike number of (s-1)!
