That looks more like rat urine than rust. There is some rust but I’m pretty
sure most of what you are seeing is rodent urine.
They leave oily residue where they have been. Shine a black light on it and see
if it has an inflorescence to it.
My guess is much of that will wash off.

Wow, that's a shame for an NOS frame. The seat cluster is pretty bad. No
doubt it could be stripped and restored but as Lum says, that would add $$
and extra effort.

Thanks Ana! Nothing like an in-person report and pictures. I am sure you
have saved some from some unexpected heartache. If someone bids on it now,
at least they will know a lot more.
And agreed on what probably happened with the previous bidder/winner.
Thanks again for the

I happened upon it the other day when I went to Goodwill to pick up some stuff
I had bought. Very exciting to see a Rivendell frame just sitting there next to
the wall. I even took a few photos, and as Lim says, not only could it have
been never ridden, but never built even. However, it looked
Sorry, thought that link would work and it does not... from a new session
it shows no longer available. Anyway, it shows in Ebay history (advanced
search) if anyone needs to see it. In theory it sold for $560 to a bidder
with a 100% positive rating and 709 feedback responses.

Not that is important but this frame was listed by the seller previously
and, in theory, sold (May 26). I am thinking the buyer did not follow
through with either payment or was not able to figure out the local pickup,
probably the latter.
Dang, I'd love that if it weren't so big! I could ride a 61 or 62, but a 68
is big.

Huh. Good eye Lum.
While being unridden might make it an extra-good buy, it also makes me
sorta sad. Such a lovely bike, waiting all this time, never getting to be
ridden even once in how many years? 14?
Hope the next owner fixes that!
Best,

Interesting.
Dropouts don't have any clamping marks. Looks like never ridden before?
If never ridden, would be a great score!

Pretty sure that's a 68cm. Paging all those that offered to buy mine -
now's your chance! Plenty of listers in that area, someone would facilitate
I'm sure. Maybe I'll buy it ...
