Howdy folks.
Tim's recollection is very close but I have a couple additions/corrections.
The main match guy was Tim Isaac. I believe he started out building under
his own name, then worked for Trek in some capacity before starting match.
Joe Starck worked for Trek for years before going to Masi
If the number starts with 95, you probably have one of the earlier (or
earliest) Rivendells sold.
I believe that the early (Waterford) Rivendells all used 753 tubing
with 531 forks. The 753 tubing used was very heavy, much heavier than
the standard 753 of other (racing) frames of the period.

Do the Match-built frames include an M in their number? I assume so
because it would make sense; my All-Rounder number include AR, a

OK, thanks. Thought it was someone in the Riven-verse. Things seem to have
turned out ok for him!

Hey John,
I don't think JS was building for RBW yet in '95. My
definitely-built-by-Joe Road Std. from 1999 has a serial # starting with JS

I posted the serial number from my '96 road standard backwards the

April 1996.
