Joe, you’re probably right that it is a 52 and the owner was measuring c-c or something. If it were closer to a 54-55 size I’d be inclined to try to negotiate a more reasonable price. That bike looks like it could use some love. On Sep 25, 2022, at 6:25 PM, Brian Turner <brokeb...@gmail.com> wrote:
The $3,000 AR is a 51cm. I reached out to the seller since she’s in my neck of the woods. I’m sure it’s a nice Riv for a project bike, but I agree it’s got too much going against it to fetch that asking price. On Sep 25, 2022, at 4:28 PM, Ryan <ryter...@mts.net> wrote:
I confess mine has "Ryan Fleming" on it. My vanity would almost certainly discount the price...if I was going to sell it. My heirs' problem, not mine. Saddle level with a Pearl stem. Moustache bars. I'm still OK with that position and it's still a lovely bike...my issue is with the accursed Compass McClure tires I replaced the perfectly fine Pasela 26" X 1.5" tires with
😒 ...an upgrade that really wasn't necessary. On Sunday, September 25, 2022 at 3:03:10 PM UTC-5 Joe Bernard wrote:
Yeah that AR looks like the 52cm I had, which also had the dreaded owner's name on the toptube..not the most brilliant idea in early Rivland. $3000 is uhhhhh optimistic, there's a 50cm on Ebay that started there and is now down to $2000 with no takers. They're nice production bikes with beautiful paint and graphics but I think the low-ish bar heights available with them are a struggle for current Riv Riders.

First one is a Waterford-built All-rounder. Same color as mine. Looks like it wasn't ridden so much
I don't have a FB account but I downloaded the screen shot and saw the 531 decal ...and the lugs. $3000.00. Too much? Someone might want to cover over owner's initials , which was an option at the time. Nice bike. 26" wheels? Looks like a sub 56cm size but just guessing
Haven't ridden mine much lately , but I'm loath to part with it.
