Let the potential buyer know the original condition and he can later decide
to ride it "as is" or have it painted.

Well, that's a pretty solid consensus as nobody thinks a repaint is worth
the cost.
Someone asked price. I have no idea what these are worth. I've seen
entire bikes go for upwards of $1500, but the only frame I could find was
sold on eBay for $1900 but it was a different color and in almost

I certainly do not want to start (another) helmet war, however I recently
stumbled on an interesting article in the Washington Post about helmets and
cycling injuries
Only 22 percent of bicyclists in severe accidents were wearing helmets.
Wonderful, Roberta!

I would guess less than $800 in the condition you describe, but it's a wild
guess without seeing it. I think you should pick a starting price you can live
with and do a FS post with pics. You'll know soon enough if your number is too
high.

article, though I do see its point.

The stuffing firms up the saddle a tad and dampens bump vibration, in my

Yes, it was meant to be the road version of a Clem and it successfully was
that, in my opinion and experience. I think Rivendell miscalculated what
many people want. Many people want a cheap racing bike. The

Not to get too far OT, Joe I hear what you are saying, but it goes beyond
cleaness of the build. Love my Clementine, but if I was to attach the 750watt
motor off my Rad Power, no doubt it would be too much! Other things just make
it impossible to consider a conversion over a dedicated Ebike.
I read the article, found it interesting, and thought that members here
would find it interesting as well. My sharing was more an FYI than a "this
is what you should be doing" post. I apologize if my post made anyone
angry.

I think 700-1000$ is a fair range for f/f/headset. I think I paid 800 for a not
pristine Toyo Atlantis with a couple extra parts (bb, seatpost, brakes maybe)
and felt happy with the price.
