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)
Not always. My 1996 Waterford-built A/R has three sets of WB bosses,
for example. It all depends on what Rivendell spec'd in the frame
order.
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)
One of Grant's posts indicated that Waterford built frames above a
certain size and Toyo built them below a certain size.
I would call Riv, but without a serial number, I may not have too
much to go by...
Does it actually matter? Or is this just idle curiosity (which I
have plenty of myself, except since both are very fine shops I don't
think I'd really care whether it was made in Wisconsin or Japan). If
it really does interest you to know, drop John at Riv an e-mail. He
can probably tell you off the top of his head, or if not would know
who to ask. ;-)
