This Rivendell model (http://www.flickr.com/photos/philipwilliamson/2917695862/) is available again, but can't be advertised on the Rivendell website.
Here's the plain English from the email newsletter: *"Custom Frames, Old Models"* "Mark asked me to mention that the wait on Custom Rivendell frames is at an all time low of 6 months. That might seem like a long time but this is fully custom mind you, it takes a while, but there's nobody on the list almost except for Liesl who won the custom frame raffle. She came by and fell in love with the Appaloosa long-bike prototype and is going to get her custom in that vein." "Before Betty and Yves, there was Glorious and Wilbury, the nicest mixtes ever made. The lugs were so fancy builders would mess up too often and we stopped production. You can still get them though, we have the fancy lugs but they're now deemed customs. See previous paragraph." "Also, when the Lord of the Rings movies came out, some tangent of the Tolkein estate made us stop using the Legolas name on our staff-favorite lugged-steel-cross bikes and as the deal went down we can't have them marketed on the website. So we don't. But! People like them and we can still use the decals we have so if you want a really light canti-braked cross bike we can make it in Wisconsin for $2200. Call Mark if you're serious. Legolases now available: $2200, but not on the site."
