Hi, Group It has been a while since I last posted. It's been challenging for me to stay involved with this group because I had to change my account and add another gmail log in when our college went to a google account . . . I'm still sorting it all out almost two years later!
Due to some life changes, I'm downsizing my possessions and refocusing my life on some other priorities. I've got several bikes that have to go. The first is my 60 cm Bombadil. I'm offering it up here first because I've had pleasant experiences buying and selling from RBW group members. If there isn't any immediate interest from the group, I'll submit a listing to eBay in the next week. I'd prefer to sell the bike to someone who lives in the western US in order to facilitate a delivery or pick-up as I'd rather not have to pack the bike for shipping. If it's necessary to ship, I'll need to add the cost of shipping to the purchase price. The particulars on the bike are below. Please PM with any questions or to arrange a purchase.

Packs, racks, fenders, etc are NOT included in this sale. I just thought it might be useful for potential buyers to see the bike set up as a tourer. The Bombadil makes a great touring bike for a big guy. 60 cm Rivendell Bombadil – Black (Parallel Top Tubes and Kickstand Plate) * $1500.00* Original owner. Purchased new from RBW 12/2008. No major scratches. No dents. Paint wear consistent with a used bike. Some scratches on right chainstay due to chain derailment in past. I’ve used this bike on tours, as a mountain bike on trails and fire roads and for commuting. Overall, everything works and the bike is in great shape.
