Did YOU buy that tres bitchin Riv Road that Chris was selling?

If you are that person, I want to thank you from the bottom of my savings
account. I vacillated  between the Logical (buy it now, idiot) and the
Reasonable (my friend Logical is right), and waited one day too long. What
a great looking, and riding, machine you now own, YOU!


thank-YOU again,
Patrick Shea

Hi all, just to be more clear about the headtube, when I received the bike 
a few months ago I took it to Rivendell since it's local. They checked it 
out, said that wasn't effecting the internal diameter of the steerer 
because the fork turns clearly. The alignment of the steerer cups is fine 
and straight, so the the headset sits fine. One mechanic thought it was 
potentially caused when someone installed the headset cups with too much 
force causing a wrinkle/bump on the headtube, another mechanic wasn't sure 
what caused it, both said not to worry. It's a small outward bump with no 
crack in the steel, but has a small paint chip.

The bike rides great. I've had an A Homer Hilsen, Sam Hillborne, Atlantis, 
Clem Smith JR, and a Quickbeam - this is the quickest of all them by far. I 
believe it has sharper angles and quicker handling than any modern 
Rivendell. Waterford built too!

-Chris

Happy to meet at a BART stop!

Erl, the metallic paint job is indeed very difficult to photograph, it's 
gorgeous in the sun. I'm disappointed the single speed project I envisioned 
didn't work out, but I found a Quickbeam and have limited room.

Thanks Joe, 57cm makes sense, I forget that Rivendell does CTT measurement. 
I don't have the standover measurement right now but can get it Saturday 
evening. Saddleheight shown is ~73.5cm.

-Chris
