Hi. I've been searching for a blue homer in 54.5 for my wife and in my ISO post I was linked to this facebook listing:
" @Brenton - If you go FACEBOOK Rivendell Bicycle BUY/SELL/TRADE, there is a blue Homer under the owner's name of *Payton Beargrr* <https://www.facebook.com/groups/3127504017358010/user/33810597/?__cft__[0]=AZWM_HUDwICO-DZxRDgeH6PKEH27Q60_rtRW56T14XolOXVDtbhiBhqSs5IRAf2tQDooAhYlS1GgrtEsUMVFG9ZrTDTGQLgc2dwfiW-pCa6kFgLsLZXBqq6yep7jrikH2XvXt0mesTqEacdgnkqciYIV4VxMZbmA-_JjOgp9P2iC9Yu-ioEmc_h01k1sYLT7-4XapFpB_ZNlHwVe_6xRHXgq&__tn__=-UC%2CP-R> Very near mint condition A. Homer Hilsen, 54.5cm with 650b wheels. Unsure of year but it's likely 4 or less years old. Taiwanese made frame. I am not the original owner but this appears to be a Rivendell build. -Nitto handlebars, stem, and seat post -Brooks saddle -Paul racer brakes, Paul canti levers -Paul thumbie mounts with Microshift shifters -Riv Silver double crankset -IRD front derailleur -Shimano Alivio rear derailleur -MKS Grip Monarch pedals -mismatched Shimano hubs, no name rims -Soma Cazadero 650 x 42b -Sackville bag The only imperfections are the two small paint chips on the top tube, noted in the pictures. $2500 + shipping. Let me know if you have any questions. Kim Hetzel." Other people seem to also be looking at this bike. Robert Carlton said owner confirmed it's a 58. The facebook post has some comments and the owner says the bike is in *Fargo ND.* I've been texting with someone (who says the bike is in *LA*) and he wants a $400 deposit to sell it to me for $1300 (complete bike, insane price). The whole thing is odd. They can't send me a pic with measure tape to prove a claim of *69cm standover*. It sure doesn't look like a 54.5 based on every other Riv stack I've seen and studied. Our messages have been super cryptic. I just *HOPE* anyone else looking for a blue homer in 58 or 54.5 doesn't fall for a scam. Posting here amongst people I trust, admire, and have become friends with. My Roadini frame and dozens of parts on both my Rivs have been purchased from this group. I don't want to stir up any drama if this is in fact a legit sale, but the listing is from Jan 2023, 16 months old, this bike at any price under $2000 should be long gone on it's way to a new owner. PS. I'm not sending a deposit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
