This is all very good info! Trying to piece it all together...seems best place to start is with the Serial Number...but, where is the Serial Number? I looked under the bottom bracket, all that found is RIVENDELL engraved...
Here is what I know: 1) Seems, so far, the 3 cage bosses are only on Toyo builds (based on this tiny sample, mine should be built at WF as I only have bosses on seat tube and top of down tube) 2) I also see reference to the Toyo Blue (darker) and the WF Blue (lighter)...I certainly have the darker.( Based on this tiny sample, mine should be built by Toyo.) 3) I als read (speculated) that Toyo made all 650 frames and WF made all 700 frames...My frame is a 700cc, 57cm. (based on this tiny sample, mine should be built at WF) I would call Riv, but without a serial number, I may not have too much to go by... Thanks for all of the info thus far...
