Get us just a small deposit by then and we'll pass on a $250 subsidy Pay for it by then and we'll double it to $500 there's a very small cosmetic dimple (no paint loss) and we will try to post a photo on the listing.the depth is about ma mm and the area about 2mmx6mm overall We have other Rivendells for less and similar 26" bikes like this (both US and import) for a fraction of the price in case you are more interested in a rider than a collectible rider. One thing on which many of our aficionados agree: if you are planning to ride and enjoy such a gem for the years, even decades, it will serve you, the difference between the 'get by' bike and the 'wanna have' is usually as little as pennies a week. and the nicer bikes work better, longer, and hold value and even appreciate in value better. > Larry > On Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 12:03 PM, Earl Grey <earlg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes you should.
