[RBW] Re: Nice Rivendell, Goodrich and Sevens for Sale

[Matt Isaacs]

FYI, I think is the same guy who was selling a couple Riv frames for a 
deceased friend back in November. A Roadeo custom painted sage green and a 
Heron custom painted by Joe Bell. If so, the seller has a very active ebay 
account selling vintage motorcycle stuff and has a good seller rating.
