This is still available and now they are only asking $2000 from over $3000 to 
start. What a beautiful build.

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

['Steve' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Pictured from a previous owner, so not as currently built.  I think I am 
either the 3rd or 4th owner, maybe further down the line.  Frame was 
re-painted to its current color back around 2006...believe original color 
was similar to RS2.  

Specs as follows:

Headset Dura Ace
Stem: Nitto 10cm lugged (paint to match head tube) 
Seat Tube: 56cm (C-T)
Seat tube angle: 73.00 deg
Horizontal TT length: 55.00cm (C-C)
TT Downslope angle: 1.0 deg
Head tube angle: 73.00 deg
Chainstay: 42.0 to 44 cm (horizontal dropout)
BB Drop: 7.5cm
Front Center: 58.5 cm
Head tube ext: 2cm
Stand over with Conti 28c on Velocity Aerohead rim: 80cm

Wasn't intending this as a FS, but if anyone is interested...

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

[Taz Taylor]

Having sold 3 Richard Sachs frames (and traded another), I'm inclined to 
agree with Doug and Ryan.   Very pretty frame but still only a Richie 
brazed Riv custom.  Curt and Mark also extremely nice frames.

This is my size - I recently had a chance to pick up a newer Sachs for 
$1700 - and I would say that's probably about the value of this bike.  The 
parts are decent but nothing special.  If I were to buy, I'd ask the seller 
to strip to frame/fork/headset before shipping.

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

[Christopher Murray]

I think this is a pretty special bike and probably worth the asking price. How 
long it would take to sell at that price is anyone's guess but I think it would 
eventually sell. I can't imagine sellling it for less than $3500 if it was 
mine. We are talking about Richard Sachs... THE Richard Sachs. 

Hopefully someone buys it and rides the heck out of it. 

Cheers!
Chris

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

Don't get me wrong, it's super cool that e-Richie built it. For me, that
adds some value but it certainly doesn't double the value or anything close
to it…

Yes, this is what I was alluding to in my earlier comment. I don't think there 
would be an appreciable difference in design and construction because e-RICHIE 
brazed it. It's a very nice Grant-designed Rivendell.

I would agree with you there; it is a GP design and the other 3 builders 
are just as skilled at the execution of that design

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

[Doug Van Cleve]

It is a neat frame and an interesting part of Rivendell custom history.  My
issue is that it is not better in any way than a Joe Starck, Curt Goodrich
or Mark Nobilette built custom.  It is not a Sachs, I would bet the
geometry is completely GP, but it's about double the going rate because RS
built it.  Super cool for the right buyer, I guess...

I'm just happy my sharing the listing has generated a LOT of discussion! 
 In case you all are wondering, there is at least ONE person who might fit 
the bike, can appreciate it, and is close enough to actually go for a test 
ride:  ME.

I am about 5'9", ride a 55 Hillborne daily, and also have a "vintage" 54cm 
Cannondale R400.

But, of course, the price is too high for me.  My excuse is that I already 
have those two other bikes,and prefer to be able to use 38mm tires.

Ride Safely,
Beaverton Bob

Dude, I just bought a Clem. There's no way that immaculate custom Riv/Sachs 
totally my size will ever come down in price enough for me!

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

[Joe Bernard]

One thing to remember is it's a full custom, so the original buyer was involved 
in the design, too. Grant is pretty strict about using the customer's expressed 
style of riding to create his vision of how that will look. I would be 
surprised if e-richie had any more input in the design than Starck and Goodrich 
did for their builds atmo.

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Richard Sachs(!) Rivendell on CL

[cyclotourist]

Bill, my hunch is that it is that Grant and e-RICHIE came up with what they
both agreed on would be a great bike.
I can't imagine either of those individuals doing something they didn't
believe in!
Agreed on the international exposure, but I think they want local cash
sale. That obviously limits the market, but one can hope!
