Hey Eric,
He wants a set badly. But he does not do the Google forums, so I offered to put
it out there for him. I found a set NOS for $180 and used for $160, which I
thought was an OK price, but not sure he took advantage.
I hope you are well and getting some riding in.
Paul

Very nice Jason! That model Rivendell is becoming the "classic". Fully lugged,
details, "standard" chain stays, etc. To boot, it's bombproof and has room for
wide tires.
Of course, "classic" is a moving target. Expectations for a frame change over
time and parts for older bikes get harder to

Sorry about your fender incident. As someone else said, those PDW Safety Tabs
