Hi Ahmed, 

Any chance you'd consider parting it out or just selling the rolling

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 55cm Hillborne PRICE DROP

[John Bokman]

Riv has changed their sizing on these (and other) frames over the years. 
This looks to be the first gen Sam because the headtube is solid orange - 
not cream accent. Meaning, the 60cm frame is quite a bit bigger than the 
current 58cm frame. Unless I'm mistaken, it would correlate more closely to 
the now 62cm frame.

I owned a 2009 60cm frame  (solid orange, no cream accent) and found it too 
big (long). In retrospect the 56cm (next size down) would have been 
perfect. I "know" this, because I now ride a 58cm Sam (roughly the "same" 
size of the old 56) that is "perfect".

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 55cm Hillborne PRICE DROP

[Patrick Moore]

Demand comes and goes. I recall trying to sell my first-gen SH frameset,
and this with lowrider brazeons added to enhance value, and getting no
interest at all on this or the boblist. I finally had my brother sell it in
CA. Then, wait a bit, and SHs posted for sale are snapped up.

$2,900 does seem a bit high from the other offer prices I dimly recall
seeing.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 55cm Hillborne PRICE DROP

[MoVelo]

Ahmed

Your Hillborne looks great. I am in the market for one but in a larger 
size. If your's was a 58 I'd be all over it.

I do see there is a 60cm on Ebay with a starting bid of $2200.00. I am a 
little confused about that size tho as the chart I have shows a 58 and then 
a 62. I confess I haven't been following the Sams as closely as some on 
this list have, and so I don't have a good grasp on the heritage. Rivendell 
does seem to refine the bikes as the years go on. I noticed the current 
generation as shown on their website has different seat stay connections as 
yours. 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/165308900740?hash=item267d2da584:g:qd4AAOSwF0Vh9upF

You might follow it to see where the bidding ends up to get an idea of what 
they bring there. 

Good luck.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 55cm Hillborne PRICE DROP

[E. Ricky Creek]

I hope you find a buyer, Ahmed. 
I hope folks realize that the Hillborne was sort of the bike that started 
the whole modern era of Rivendells, as I don't feel like the Hillborne gets 
as much regard as the newer, evolved models. The Bomba came first as a 6 
degree upsloping tubed bike, but the Hillborne was the first of the Taiwan 
expanded geometry bicycles that have come to exemplify Rivendell (this is 
according to my fuzzy memory). It was meant to be a do all, beat it up, 
ride it like crazy, never repaint it (I recall grant saying he hoped nobody 
would ever repaint one), and pass it down to your children bike. I honestly 
think anyone looking for a Riv and fits this 55cm Hillborne couldn't find a 
better bicycle. I have had a super secret 56cm double TT Waterford 
Hillborne since 2011 and it is a never sell for me. It was my primary 
touring bicycle for a number of years, also commuter, shopper, and do all 
bicycle. It can use drops or uprights. Folks seem to want a Riv mixte or 
droptube, and I have had both and sold them both because I never actually 
used the lower tube for stepping "in" to the bicycle, I still throw my leg 
over, and with the expanded geometry of the Hillborne, you don't have to 
worry about standover anyway.
Also, and this is again only my experience, I never got along with the long 
wheelbase that the newer Riv's have. I much prefer the ride of my old style 
Atlantis, Hillborne, and Simpleone. 
I hope this helps anyone on the fence.
