Now that you mention it, Corwin it's more accurate to say that the tap has slowed to a trickle...and Mark Nobilette IS building those Roadeos as well as frames under his own name. I suspect, especially if you have a sustained customer history, they would be happy to build a Rivendell and I thin

I was ready to spring for a custom a couple month ago, and reached out to get started. I was informed they were no longer building customs, so I came up with a plan B and found a bike similar to what I would have had built - an early Davidson touring bike that checked all the boxes: lugged steel

I was aware that Grant was scaling back on customs when I asked if I could get a replacement frame. I do consider myself lucky to be able to get something to replace the custom I lost. I'm not sure the tap is actually "turned off". I have seen several customs mentioned in the weekly email newsl

AFAIK Rivendell isn't even offering customs any more...unless someone closer to Walnut Creek knows differently. Customs aren't on the site anymore. So, Corwin, I'm happy for you that you were able to order a custom to replace your stolen one before the tap was turned off. My first CG road in mu

Point of clarification... The price of a new custom is currently $5K. I agree that the price for this frame is high - especially given much of the value of a custom frame is in the fidelity to the sizing and riding of the person the frame was designed for. I paid $2700 for my first custom about

It took a little over a year for the frame to be built (which was fine-- I needed that time to pay it off!) Then there was the wait on the paint which was longer than I expected, but you don't rush perfection. All told, about 15 months from when I placed the order. That's not a very long wait whe
