Greetings,
As the title suggests, I am looking to “trade” [details below] a lovely 56cm 1995 Rivendell road. The frame measurements are as follows: seat tube 56cm c-t-t; top tube 57cm c-t-c. For more details on the Road, please see Riv Reader #2, which Reed has kindly made available here <http://notfine.com/rivendell/RR02.pdf>. Build list is as follows: - Wheels - Shimano 600 Tri-Color 32 hole laced to Ritchey Vantage Comp Roads - Tires - Panaracer Pasela 700 x 28 - Headset - Shimano 600 - Stem - Nitto Pearl (10cm) - Handlebars - Nitto Noodle 44 - Brake levers - Dia Compe - Seatpost - Shimano 600 - Front Derailleur - Suntour Superbe Pro - Bottom Bracket - Shimano UN55 - Crankset - Sugino XD2-701D (50-34 x 170mm) - Pedals - Shimano 600 - Rear Derailleur - Shimano Ultegra Tri Color (RD-6401) - Cassette - Shimano - Shifters - Shimano 600 7 speed Saddle and Cateye bits are not included. Photos are available here <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1--29ju2FtjhuoSZ1GVn6kfuTzrPyH6jt?usp=share_link>. Sorry for the poor quality of the pics. We are in the middle of this bomb cyclone, and it's dark and -3 outside. The grey Shimano components look really good on the Riv blue. If I had to guess, I would say that the wheelset is original to the bike. I think it had a mix of Suntour Superbe and Shimano 600 when it came to me. For good measure, the Suntour front derailleur remains. As for condition, there is definite beausage (i.e, plenty of paint blemishes). Drive side chain stay and bottom bracket shell are the worst. But, the frame is solid: no dents or issues to mention. Letting go of this bike is difficult. The Riv blue, lugs, and headbadge are beautiful. You might ask, "Why sell?" The answer: the bike does fit me or my current riding style/needs very well. Now, here's why the title mentions Bay area trade. I have identified a specific bike for which I will trade. It is currently for sale in the Bay area. I have spoken with the seller, and he is knowledgeable and reputable; however, he wants to deal in person and is unwilling to facilitate shipping. So, I need some boots on the ground to make this happen. If you are interested in this quest, please send a PM. I can identify the bike; you can then buy it with your funds (and negotiating power) and ship it to me. Once the wheels are in motion, I can get the Riv boxed and ready to go. I don't want to identify the bike (which is not a Riv) in question in this post for a number of reasons. Let's just say that the price is less than $1,500 and that there should be room for negotiation if you are a good haggler. Thanks for your interest. I know this is an unusual WTT ad, but I'm guessing that there's someone who won't mind a little legwork in exchange for an old school Riv.
