Thanks Justin, but I am 55 years old and live in the hills of Pittsburgh.
I don't think a single speed will work for me. Thanks for the offer,
though.

On Wednesday, September 3,
You might well be surprised, LJ! I live int he Colorado mountains and
absolutely love my QB. One gear from up, one for down (and the occasional
semi-flat bit). I was surprised how rapidly I adapted to handling climbs.
As my only bike? No. But what a blast they are! The simplicity is wondrous.
LJ,

lists is lower than mine, and I also have an 89 PBH. If I were in the

The headtube looks about the same as my 59 cm Bridgestone XO-1. The
All-rounder is more or less a refined XO-1. I might very well be wrong, but
I think they have the same geometry, give or take a few millimeters. I have
a pbh of 91 cm, 188 cm tall, and the XO-1 is a tad too small for my taste
Ken, I definitely will not drop $3k on this frame. Like I wrote above
that amount buys me a new bike. My take-away from some of the comments
above was that I could manage a 59cm given my 89 PBH. Thanks for the
repost of the custom build. It is tempting but also a half cm smaller.
Larry,
I also have an 89cm PBH @ 6' tall. I ride a 61 Atlantis, 59 San Marcos, 60
LHT, and 60 Santana Noventa. They all fit well, but the Atlantis is my
favorite. I bought it last Summer off of this list, like new and
completely built (w/o wheels or saddle) as I would have for myself for

I've talked to them about a few bikes. I thought they were a bit high, but
not egregiously so. $1200 would be a screaming deal, IMHO. Given that it's
a rare bike and less expensive than a new Riv, paying your birth year $19xx
would not be a bad deal.

Yes, a typo. I have an 89 PBH. I'll see if I can edit the original post
to avoid confusing others. Thank you.

I know I said this dealer was known for asking above-market prices (and as
was said here, that's his prerogative) but this is ridiculous. I will copy
his response verbatim:
Thanks for the inquiry and interest. Great choice.
Because we are willing and able to furnish any bike with a choice
I'm the original owner of a Waterford All-Rounder, so a couple of comments:
- According to my paperwork from the time, there were 3 sizes in the
range of interest, 55.5, 58 and 61. The bike for sale looks more like a 61
than a 58, primarily based on the headtube.

Well, as we used to say in retail, he's pretty proud of that... ;^)
You are buying a frame and fork. Yeah, there are some wheels and other
bits attached, but those are likely to be swapped out.
Honestly, for that specific offering, I'd have trouble paying more than
$8-900. For what he's

As others have said, the price seems high and given your PBH measurement it
sounds like it might be too small. If you are prepared to spend that kind
of coin, I would recommend that you work with the good folks at Rivendell
to help set you up with the best combination of bike for the budget
Hey there Larry -
Re: your second point - I'm guessing you mean you have a 89 cm PBH? That
would put you in the 59 cm frame range.That's a pretty safe guess for
the frame size on that model.
From those photos, it honestly looks a little bigger than a 59 - the
perspective of the
Once I called them about an Atlantis. He said I could have it for a
birthday price - which is you pay what the year of your birth is. He said
I could also bring as old a person as I wanted with me and he'd give it to
me for that price.
So if he is charging more than the year of your
Once I emailed them about an Atlantis they had. I think they still have
it. I did not buy it.
The shop owner said I could have it for a birthday price, same price as
your birth year. So if you were born in 1954, then you will pay $1954.
He said I could bring the oldest person with me
Hey y'all,
Maybe you can clue me in. But how does a bike maintain such a high value
when it is used and 19 years old?
I'm not saying its not worth it, because I don't really know the value of
these things.
I know its a Waterford Rivendell, so its top quality. But it is used and 19
years old.
Frame was probably $1300 new. Actually, cyclotourist's estimate might not
be totally out-of-line. That was a top-quality frame, and I don't think
there are thousands of A/R's around. They were a small-batch production
frame
Now when you start getting into the customs built by JS or CG with the
Seems to me discussion on this bike has come up a couple of times on the
list. While the bike looks big, am pretty sure it's the 26 wheels
contributing. My Surly LHT has a 58cm frame and 26 wheels and looks
similar.
Also will agree with the general price suggestion by Cyclotourist.
