Ted, maybe I missed it in your post, but where did you get the S&S couplers 
added?

I'd love to do that to a bicycle of mine, just don't know where is good to 
go!

Thank you!  Paul

[RJR Rempel]

Just to put a bookend on this thread, I'm the lucky owner of this beautiful 
bike. Ted delivered on everything, as expected. Quick shipment and the 
condition was described well. This will be my (for now) 
commuter/grocery-getter and (future, hopefully) light tourer. Mounted up a 
tubus nova rack to the front for my gaudy camo panniers. I will confess, 
I'm pleasantly surprised at the ride quality--it's a great bike that just 
happens to pack down nicely for travel. If work travel ever returns to 
normal, I'll be spending an extra day in some select locations and taking 
this along with me. Ted, thanks for the great process. Cheers!

[RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell Protovelo - complete bike 57.5cm

[jandrews]

Hello
I've had some questions regarding the other measurements and geometry of 
this frame.
This bike is looking very close to a 57cm Roadini geo from the charts 
Here's some measurements taken with a tailors tape by me attempting to be 
as precise and accurate as possible 

   - The Top Tube is 57.5cm center to center with what appears to be 
   essentially a 59cm effective top tube
   - The Seat Tube is measuring 57.5cm center to center 
   - The Down Tube is measuring 64.4cm center to center
   - The Head Tube is measuring 21.5cm
   - The Chain Stays are measuring 45.5cm center to center 
   - The Seat Stays are measuring 38.5cm (*from the dropout center to the 
   brake bridge*)

[RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell Protovelo - complete bike 57.5cm

[jandrews]

Greetings Bunch 
I'm bumping this sale again...
I've completed my move into a new old (house) and I must find a new home 
for this spritely yet comfy roadish Protovelo.
Dropping price to $1200 including shipping (in co. US)
Please respond with any questions 
thanks 
Jason


I’m reposting this Protovelo for sale after happily not selling it last 
year.  It was a terrific performer this summer but I still would like to 
sell it.  I’m moving into a new place and majorly need to downsize plus my 
riding is less and less roady. 


57.5cm Protovelo road bike for sale:


[image: PV26.JPG]



This is a fun, light and nimble bike looking for a new home. 


The frame is somewhat of an odd duck. I am not sure what exactly this frame 
was a prototype for, although a current Riv employee suggested it could've 
been geometry testing for the San Marcos with thinner tubing.


I purchased it from Kevin at Riv in about 2012.  I was interested in buying 
a Roadeo at the time and they posted this frameset and I purchased it 
instead. 


I believe that it has a Roadeo fork from Toyo in JP.   It’s a slender, 
nicely curved fork with cream dropouts and no mounting bosses mid-fork.  
(the seat stays have typical Riv bosses, 2 at the dropouts and one mid-stay 
and one by the seat cluster)

This frameset has Hilborne headtube lugs and a Homer bottom bracket shell. 
 Also, odd-duckishly, the front fork takes a medium-reach caliper and the 
rear brake is a long-reach.  I believe the frame was U.S. made.  Also, I 
believe the color is "RBW Blue".

The sizing was listed as 57.5cm and that’s the measurement for both the 
seat tube and the top tube.

Rear spacing is 130mm.


My PBH is 84.5 and this bike was just a smidge big for me but never ever a 
real issue.  When I'm standing with feet firmly on the ground the top tube 
is right up there but workable.

The reach on this bike is great compared to my too-long top tube 
first-generation Hillborne which is 56/59.


I built this bike up as a go-fast road bike and while it served that 
purpose very well, that’s not the type of riding I really do.  I ride my 
much heavier Hillborne more or my off-road singlespeed.


The wheels are very nice, built by Anthony King.  - White Industries T11 
polished 28h laced to IRD “Cadence” lightweight rims..  Rear is “VSR” or 
offset.  Both have wheelsmith spokes. (42 Wheelsmith XL14 2.0/1.5/2.0 
 Silver Spoke w/  Brass Nipples & 14 Wheelsmith DB14 2.0/1.7/2.0 Silver 
Spoke w/ Silver Brass Nipples)


Tires are Jack Brown Greens with plenty of life left


Cream longboard fenders


SRAM Apex mini-group - Front and Rear Derailleurs as well as a SRAM 
cassette (11-32 10spd) & chain and Apex “double tap” shifter/levers


Crankset - NOS (*when I installed it*) - 170mm Sugino AT with Specialities 
TA “Syrius” 50/34 10 speed chainrings  {122.5 UN52 bb)


Bars are Mark’s “Dream Bar” in heat treated 46cm by Nitto.

Stem is 9cm or 10cm Tech Deluxe...I'll check.

Wrapped in black Newbaums.


Headset is FSA that Riv uses.


Brakes - Rear Tektro R559, Front Tektro R538


Seatpost - Thomson “Elite” , black - no offset.


CLEARANCE: The bike is running JB greens with longboard fenders.  I think 
it would probably run Barlow Pass 38's without a problem, but I haven't 
tested that.  After doing some research by the numbers, I believethat Paul 
Racers (not M's) would handle the difference of the long reach in the back 
and med reach in the front and allow for a little more clearance ...but I 
haven't personally tested that.


Issues:  {pics attached for all this}

There are few small chips in the paint. , the most offensive being on the 
downtube just below the water bottle cage.  There is also a small one on 
the top tube as well as a couple small ones on the inside of the non-drive 
side chain stay and some rash along drive-side seat stay.  Most of this was 
received from being in my Thule car bike carrier and being rubbed my 
friends bike next to it.

I've detailed these chips in the photo gallery 


I'm in the Hudson Valley of Upstate New York but can easily meet in NYC 
with the bike.

will discount slightly for a local sale.


Please know that when I say "I believe", I'm giving you my honest thought 
process based on speaking to employees at RBW and being a good steward of 
the bike for the past 6 or so years, but I can't confirm those statements 
100% and I may be mistaken.


Many detailed photos can be seen at this link:  Sorry for poor photography 
quality

Hello bunch, 
After receiving email interest and inquiries, I still have not sold the 
Protovelo.
I'm dropping the price $100 to $1400 including shipping (in 48 states)  
Thank you
Jason

Seth,

I hate to even think these thoughts but it might have to be my 58
Quickbeam.  I don't think she will go for something minor like my Marin
Belvedere or my RedLine Monocog.  Those are fine bikes but I think she is
going to want blood.

Unfortunately, this is the wrong time of year to be thrown out of the

Oh really - if you happen to be parting with a 58  or 59cm rivendell
of some kind you should let the kind people on the list know about it.

I am sorry about that, Gino.  I was so excited, not just the first time I
sent an email to Mike but even later, too, that I neglected to change the
rbw-owners-bunch address to send it to him individually.  I was overcome
with excitement and I apologize for doing this out in public as it were.  I
suppose I was kind of in a hurry, too - trying to be first with the firm
offer.  I think that is going to be a great bike for me.

To bring you up to date, I intend to send PayPal payment tonight and drive
to Mike's work place in Des Moines on Friday to pick it up.  The only hitch
is telling the wife about this, which I have not done yet.  I suspect one or
more of my present bikes will have to be sold in order for me to continue to
sleep in the house.

Folks,

It appears that the Protovelo is headed north. I really appreciate
everyone's interest in the bike and the offers that have rolled
through.

Thanks again to everyone who inquired!

Best regards,
Mike

[John Blish]

Hi Mike,

I've just got a minute between errands here and I wanted to check in.

First, Thanks!

I am really sorry you have to part with this bike.  I promise I will care
for it well and ride it a lot.

Please tell me how to get the money to you.  I can send it tomorrow by
whatever way you like including pay pal, check, postal money order, even
Western Union I suppose or whatever is the best way for you.

Second, thanks again.

Don't start packing it yet.  We might be able to work something out where I
meet you halfway or maybe I can even get closer than that and save the
shipping charge for you and any possibility of damage to the bike from rough
handling.  Where are you?  No matter what we decide on about picking it up
or shipping I will be happy to send money tomorrow.

Back out to do errands.  I will be home in 3 - 4 hours and I will check in
again then.  Thanks

John

I didn't mention price only because I was perfectly happy to pay what
you asked ;)  No worries though, it sounds like John is 100% certain
(and then some) that he wants this bike while I was still wavering
about whether I wanted to spend more on the exact Riv I wanted or jump
on a great deal.

I'm sorry you have to sell it and glad it sounds like it will continue
to be well loved!

[Mike Irwin]

Wow.

You're officially the first to give me a definite offer, so I'm
considering you first in line. To be fair, I've had a number of
questions come in with interest at the same time, so I've got to go
with you since you offered the complete price. No one else has
mentioned price. I'll cover shipping ground to you. You're just about
253 miles north of me, so that shouldn't be bad at all.

If you're still offering, I'd say this bicycle is sold pending
payment?

Thanks for everyone who has contacted me with questions.

Best regards to all and even though things have challenged me a bit
lately, I'm going to keep following this group. I've made some nice
acquaintances here and I have appreciated everyone's input throughout
my tenure in this group and with the Riv family.

Thanks,
Mike

Please let me know where I stand as far as being first in line for this bike
or close to it.  I will gladly pay $1,000.  I have to go tend to some things
I promised my wife I would to so I will be away from the computer for a few
hours.  Don't worry about the firmness of my commitment.   I will be happy
to give your bike a loving home.  I have 2 other Rivendells in size 59 and a
QuickBeam in 58.  It will be welcome in my stable.
