[RBW] Re: Road Std up for sale on the bay

Ambrosio is easy to misspell as the dessert name; he's just quoting
standard Rivspeak for the tire clearance, and makes it clear that's
what he's doing; extended top tube for Rivendell means he's thinks
the toptube is kinda long for a 61cm Rivendell.

There is nothing suspect about this ad.

  1998. Wouldn't a Waterford worker know to look at the date code on the BB 
  shell?

I asked him to please post the S/N from the BB shell and he said he would do 
so later in the day.  I think it is legit.

Not that I know the guy or anything about the bike, but from what I
have read the guys on the waterford line are not always bike people.
I know it sounds shocking but many of them a just guys working an a
factory on metal things.  Maybey he got a heck of a deal 15 years ago
on what was just a bike to him, thought he could give it a go, and now
he needs some cash?

you could always give waterford a call and ask if you were really
concerned.  As for the details you should be able to find what you
need on Road Standards, they were, well Standard
