Turns out this really is Emil, former Riv Employee, actually selling his personal bike, legitimately. It's a good deal, snap it up if you want a 56cm 650B hilsen that happens to be running 700c wheels and short reach brakes. On Monday, December 15, 2014 2:20:03 PM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote:

Glad that it's legit, but this is possibly the worst CL ad I have ever seen. Seller isn't rocking anything except a terrible camera and a middling grasp of English. On Tue, Dec 16, 2014 at 1:00 PM, Bill Lindsay tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: Turns out this really is Emil, former Riv Employee,

Seriously! The one shot of the Hilsen is out of focus, and who puts up a picture of a rain-soaked rear derailleur with a rusted chain??? Did you mention this to Jenny Oh? - Andrew, Bberkeley On Monday, December 15, 2014 2:20:03 PM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote: A bunch of circumstantial evidence

Weird, the derailleur pictures are on a red bike; not a School Bus Yellow one. But I think the most glaring thing (at least if it were on this list, which it's not) is the term rocking. : ) Aaron Rocking some bitchin' barend shifters Young The Dalles, OR On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 4:17 PM, Doug

The Noodle cockpit does rock the right controls for a sick 1x10 setup, which is not beyond the ken of an iconoclastic Rivster. Still. On Monday, December 15, 2014 4:25:30 PM UTC-8, AaronY wrote: Weird, the derailleur pictures are on a red bike; not a School Bus Yellow one. But I think

No mention of size, wheelset, tires, etc., lots of the details near'n'dear to any Rivendell owner. The price is about one-third of new? Lot'o'rockin' going on there. dougP On Monday, December 15, 2014 2:20:03 PM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote: A bunch of circumstantial evidence and my Spidey

This caught my eye as well. I can't remember ever seeing a Rivendell on CL for under $1500. However, the ad only lists it in Good condition, the photo is out of focus and it has been on CL for a couple of weeks at that price. I guessed it might be in rough shape (maybe left out in the rain

Good connection. Emil did own a 650B Hilsen with 700c wheels and short reach brakes. That would make the 56cm part feasible. On Monday, December 15, 2014 7:49:13 PM UTC-8, sameness wrote: That is/was Emil's bike. He works/worked at Riv. Jeff Hagedorn Los Angeles, CA USA -- You
