Those are much clearer pictures and there is no doubt the fork and frame
were made together considering the lug details. B1 is a very cool serial
number! Post some ride reports when you have it all dialed in. Congrats on
such a great acquisition.

I seem to recall reading that when Rivendell was starting out, before they
locked in Waterford as the builder, they had sample frames made by a few
builders. The only name I can recall is Richard Sachs. I wonder if this is
a sample frame made by a builder identified as "B".

The frame has some of the details of a Canti Long Low without the Joe Bell
paint. The fork has some type of mid fork braze on (looking at the photos
on mobile). Mid fork braze ons weren't really a Riv thing in the beginning,
were they? It almost looks like the frame was given an

I don't know enough about the way Riv does prototypes but the clearance,
spacing, and angles look a lot like an old canti-Romulus that I had. The
lugs are way fancier on this though. Maybe a proto Legolas? It does look
like an older model than with of those. Either way it's a super cool frame.
The one-off MUSA Atlantis (2015-ish) had no serial number. It had about 1
cm longer chainstays than a Toyo made Atlantis, with all the brazeons of an
Appaloosa. Got in trade for a Roadeo.

The lugs look right, but you're right about the fork. Maybe that's why it
didn't turn into a production frame this way? But yeah, we need the serial
number.

The "Protovelo" stickers were later - maybe '05 or so... they were created
to sell frames which were laying about in the warehouse. I've never seen
those applied to bikes which weren't pretty close to production models -
might have used a different dropout without fender/rack mounts or had

Johnny, mine was designed as a custom, definitely not a prototype

I had a similar Road Custom that was designed around 700 x 28s w/cantis.
This was before longer reach dual pivots were introduced. Steve
