As I said in the original post, nothing is for sale quite yet. The title of the post did not have a FS in it. Many bikes need to be completed or maintained or the decision to sell them complete, as-is or as a frame only needs to be made. The Crust Scapegoat that some have expressed interest in, for example, is just a roller at the moment, F, F, Headset, wheels (fat 26"), disc brakes & calipers, but no crank or drivetrain installed, etc. Once I am ready to sell, I will post a proper FS notice. The spreadsheet is incomplete. I am trying to get organized and seeing if there was any interest here in some of the bikes. Among the bikes on the spreadsheet were a Velo Orange Neutrino and a Pashley Guv'nor (neither for sale) that have been discussed on this forum in the past. Rivendell often posts about other bikes in the newsletters and Blahg so I have never believed that this is a Rivendell *only* forum. The Scott SUB10 is an all aluminum, disc braked, belt drive IGH urban bike, but it it is fully fendered and racked, has a kickstand, and has Little Big Ben Tires, SKS mud flaps and a Brooks saddle (all bought from Rivendell). The Rivendell Custom on the other hand doesn't have any provision for racks or fenders, doesn't even have holes in the brake or chain stay bridges. Which is more "Rivvy"? The give-away bikes are bikes that are going to some people that have helped my wife out over the years. They need to get completed before anything else. I am not a business, I will definitely not be making any profit on any of this. As I said, trying to thin the herd before retirement and make some room in the garage, so hopefully I can get the rowboat on the trailer into the garage.
