It's a 1997 Road Standard, so it's kind of a generation 1.5 frame. The Sachs/Riv lugset is gorgeous. On Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 5:00 AM, Fullylugged bruce.herbit...@gmail.com wrote: Beautiful bike Tim.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Red
if you search jimmy carter on the forum you will get 11 threads that go back to '07. I believe they have more than one Rivendell, Custom and Atlantis (I could be wrong about that). Grant spoke up once on the forum essentially about the pleasant experience of selling bikes to the Carters. Mr Carter also has some nice fly rods. This one made by Bill Oyster. http://www.oysterbamboo.com/images/Reel_Seat_-512x355.jpg http://www.oysterbamboo.com/files/carter_collage3.pdf When I met Bill Oyster, he offered a guide grade cane rod for $700, and he had just finished Mr Carter's rod. Like a dummy, I didn't order one. His time is in such demand now, the least expensive rod grade he will make costs $2400 and waiting list is 3 years.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Red
I agree that Dave's AHH is a fantastic color. If I remember correctly, that frameset was ordered with custom painting to be burnt orange and there was some error/misunderstanding that led to the frame being painted a color the buyer didn't want so RBW had another frame painted and Dave snagged this one. I believe it was a Grant blug post and I believe he referred to the color as root beer-like.Looks good, whatever they call it.
