If the bike is set up correctly in the pictures then it looks like it fits fine. If the issue is you just don't want a go fast road bike that is fine but it looks good to me. If the parts will work on the bike you have in mind then I would strip them and sell frame/fork/headset. What you may find is that for what you can get you might as well hang on to it for un-loaded riding. Of course that is the thinking that got me a garage full of bikes.

My 59cm Rivendell Road Standard, I have finally decided, is too small for me. It has been a fabulous bike for me; but it is what it is — a road bike, when really, I've wanted a touring bike. Here are some photos, with the newest toward the bottom: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fundenphoto/sets/72157625044930434/ It is currently running Rivendell's 609mm rims, with the (approx. 34mm) Schwalbe tires. I put these on when I discovered the bike wouldn't clear anything wider than a 700x28 tire. I have my eyes on the Velo-Orange Campeur - which I'm thinking I may build up from a frame. Any proceeds from the Riv sale would be funneled toward the VO build. I see my Rivendell options as follows: - Sell the complete bike as it is built. (plus the original 700c wheels) - Cannibalize the parts for the Campeur project; sell the Riv frame. - Hang some or all of it up in the attic. What do you think? Of course, it would be nice to partially fund the next project... but perhaps it would be better to keep the Rivendell?
