I misquoted the "Min SH" column as the PBH range. My mistake. The PBH
column (1st col) shows a 74 to 75cm PBH range.
The takeaway is: concentrate on women as buyers.

One point to take into account is, be prepared to list, find no takers, and
remove and wait, and list again. I've seen the same bikes and parts snapped
up right away at good prices, at other times linger for weeks with no
takers.

Absolutely one of the nicer bikes I have seen. The colour is perfect. I
liked your photos and would only change a few things before the sale. First
put the bars back in the upright position, and don't tape them all the way,
use the cork grips again. The brake levers have to go, they look like a

That is good information to have. Thank you for chiming in!

Joe B, I'm 5-7 with 29 PBH and ride 54 or even 55 depending on top tube
(54-54.5) I would say someone riding a 47 would be 5-1 to 5-3, since
several women I ride with are that size and frame fit.
YMMV.

The paint is probably from D near RBW. He usually does the custom colors on
Riv production frames, and is insanely good at it. I'm sure folks who charge a
lot more for custom paint want to strangle him ;-)

Based on the small 47cm frame. your best audience would be WOMEN riders.
There will be a higher proportion of women since they are generally
smaller.
RBW geometry charts show the PBH range of 63 to 64 cm for a AHH 47cm
frame. the red is a very nice color, especially with the white HT
I sold my dad's Saluki a few years ago, it was somewhere in the 57-58cm
size range. It was used but nice and built up in a not particularly
Riv'ish manner. It sold quickly at $1400 IIRC, I probably could have
gotten at least a bit more but I didn't want the sale to take forever.

On Wed,
Joe: I can run it with drop bars and I'm almost 5'4". Of course, I have a
fairly short stem on it too. I have proportions more like a guy though...
meaning even though I'm not horribly tall, I have shorter legs and a longer
torso. I decided to put the albatross on it because I was using it

G.E. That paint job is beautiful. Check the lower left stay for a
painter's decal. If it says "JB" make sure to include that detail.

That's really pretty in red. I'd recommend taking a straight-line toptube
measurement (not the actual slope) from seattube through headtube to get a
reach number. A smaller person (maybe a bit shorter than I at 5'-7") might be
able to run it with drop bars.

You all are fantastic! I didn't expect to have so many responses so
quickly. I really appreciate all of your feedback. Many, many thanks to you
all.
As for more details... It is a small frame, so I am aware that there
doesn't seem to be quite the market for those sizes (47cm to be exact). The
There is some luck involved in finding the right buyer. That being the
case, it's way easier to luck into finding the right buyer if your bike is
in the Medium size range. If it's a 47cm or a 73cm it may take longer to
find the person you need.

I paid $1200 for a complete used Saluki a couple years ago. It was in
flawless condition. Someone has been trying to sell one on the Bay Area
Craigslist off and on for a year or so at $2400 and does not appear to have
gotten any takers. Depending on condition and the parts you are including,
If it's the 47cm frame that was on the Riv site for ages, price towards the low
end. It won't be easy to sell that size.

The the market will dictate the price. Throw out a WAG on what you want for
the bike and see if another party is willing to pay it. If no one is buying
this will tell you to lower the price.

G.E.:
Remove the parts that you intend to keep and post photos as you would sell
it. Size & color should be in the header. The more detail in the parts
listing the better; i.e. "Sugino XD-2 crankset w/ 24-36-46 rings" instead
of "Sugino cranks". Answer as many questions as you can
An NOS Saluki/Hilsen is kind of an intriguing concept and I'm sure everyone
here would like to see some pix, regardless of sale. I'm no expert, but
given what you've said, I would take your cost for the frame and the parts
that will be sold with it, and subtract maybe $400-500?? If it is
