1700 is a tad high, IMO. I'd offer him 1500, but not in your case: That's a lot of money for a bike that doesn't have the features you're looking for. Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA. On Saturday, June 23, 2012 6:27:53 PM UTC-7, lungimsam wrote: Hello everyone, First I would like to say thank

See, yet another reason why someone needs to do a compendium all all Rivendell trivia. There are little tidbits about so many RBW products that would make a useful reference for interested readers. The thing about the BB shell is it showed no Waterford serial # in the picture. According to

Hello everyone, First I would like to say thank you to everyone for the great tips and offers. I am sorting thru everything now. In the meantime: There is a new condition Romulus going for $1700 at an LBS near me. I am not crazy about the Romulus. I like those cream headtubes the other

A 57 TT would be too long for me, I think. Most of the Geometry Rivendell charts that match my PBH say 55.5 or 54. On Thursday, June 21, 2012 1:01:26 AM UTC-4, lungimsam wrote: Frame sizes are all over the place for the different models, so I thought I'd just list my PBH. If you have one

Fyi, I sent an email to the owner because to my eye that TT measurement didn't match the 57 cm listed. He quickly responded that it was actually 55 c-c and apologized. Still a 54 c-c seatube. Slightly big for me but a decent deal for someone else depending on how high the price goes. --

I'm also an 82 cm PBH and I ride a 56 Ram, the fit is spot on. I paid 1200 through Craigslist for the full bike 3 years ago, it had a couple of good sized nicks and needed tires, it had about 3000 miles on it when I bought it. The grease was pretty shot and i ended up paying my lbs for an

That's a sweet looking Road Standard. But a 59cm is way too big for an 82 cm PBH. For 82, you're talking about a frame in the 53-55 cm range. On Saturday, June 23, 2012 2:56:46 PM UTC-7, Brian Campbell wrote: There is this on ebay.

That's a really nice frame too. I wonder about the accuracy of the seller's description. A 57 cm top tube on a 54 frame doesn't compute to me. But I could be wrong. I have a PBH similar to the original poster's and a 57 top tube would be way too long for me. On Saturday, June 23, 2012 4:07:37

My '95 Road Standard is a 56 measured center to top (about 54 center to center), and has a 57 top tube. This frame is maybe 2 cm smaller, the head lugs nearly touch and there's no room for a pump peg, so I'd say 54 center to top. My head tube is 14 cm, but the one in the listing lacks the
