Thanks for the nice comments on the bike. It is a beauty and I hope to sell
it to someone who appeciates a finely crafted Rivendell.
To answer a couple of questions, I'm located in N.H. It has Riv
Roly-Poly(?) tires on it. I think they are 28mm.

You might take the bike to a machine shop and have them tack weld a piece
of metal to the broken bolt or ez-out so they can use it to unscrew the
bolt. I have had that done before and it works quite well. You wouldn't

I just saw a picture of the new blue sent by David at RBWHQ. It's
different than the sample and IMO a nicer color. The lighting is not that
great but hopefully we will be able to see it on the Blug real soon.

Now I am really getting pumped. All I can say is it's beautiful and the
color is all that I could have hoped for. The chain stays really stand out
and the crown is a work of art.

It's really nice to see that the head tube is painted cream but I am a
little disappointed that the butterscotch color looks quite different than
the sample that was given earlier. I do like the lighter looking color
much better and am hoping that the lighting of the photo is the reason for

Wouldn't it be nice if the butterscotch came with the cream color head
tube. Now that's a nice look. Have to wait and see.

Now that's a nice looking blue. I hope my new Joe has a blue like that.

Not sure what the 0003 is because I ordered (a 55) on the 28th and my
receipt has the same number. I,m plenty stoked as well as it will be my
first Rivendell. Looking forward to seeing the color and other specifics.

At first I wasn't sure about the bars but warmed to them very quickly and
hope they will work out OK as I did order a 55. I don't think the 0003
number on the receipt has to do with who ordered in order because my
receipt also has the 0003 on it and I ordered on the 28th.
