[RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell All Rounder ridden less than 10 times!
It was custom in the sense that you had to order your size and wait, kinda like the current Waterford frames. You're right about choosing paint, which was a great benefit. The spec sheet someone posted in this thread shows that you could order a non-stock size for a $300 upcharge; I think the one you're selling is the stock 53cm A/R. Which is a great bike, I'm just commenting on how all this worked back in the day as I recall it. I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet, but maybe people are struggling with buying another bike right now same as I am. Somebody buy this before I do! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell All Rounder ridden less than 10 times!
Hi, Thank you Kevin for the background. That helps explain the peculiarities of the Waterford built well-used All Rounder I bought from Mt. Airy Bicyles about 4 years ago. It has a thinner seatpost, for example. It had a few dents; a little rust, and I had to change post and stem to get it to fit. It must be about the same size as yours. I really like it. I paid $2,000. Hope you get a good buyer. Best, Ken P., Alexandria, Va.

To those that are interested, please keep in mind this is a Waterford Rivendell, and if memory serves me correctly, they were all custom. In 1997/1998 you could not drive over to Riv and pick up a frame. They were built to your size, specs, color, lug paint details, etc. You put down a deposit and waited while it was hand built and hand painted. When it arrived at Riv they built it up with the parts you chose from their catalog. This was our process. I was sized at Riv by Grant, I believe my wife was as well. There have been a lot of questions about size, and I realize this is very important, but top tube length and standover height should be enough detail to determine if this bike will fit. A lot of adjustments can be made with saddle height, stem length, stem height, crank length etc. If you are interested, please make an offer, I will take the post down on Fri.

Hehe, we'll see, Karl. We haven't made a deal yet (and I'm struggling with popping dollars out for another bike)..I don't want folks to get the impression the guy's bike is sold already. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Hey Kevin, Looks like a great bike, but you'll want to include your location and your willingness (or lack of) to ship. Also, my browser doesn't know what an .HEIC file is, so I can only see upside down thumbnail pictures which are not click-able. A few updates to your ad will go a long way in finding this bike a new home.
