There were 3 runs of Legolas. The first 30 were by Nobilette, and then 2 runs from Waterford. Mark and Grant both said there are around 80 total. As for tubing, the Legolas and Roadeo have the same tubing for top and seat tubes, fork blades and chain stays. The Legolas downtube is slightly

I thought it was closer to 100 because, IIRC, there was a 2nd run. Now I'll have to check. jim m wc ca On Apr 13, 10:09 am, CycloFiend cyclofi...@earthlink.net wrote: on 4/12/11 1:38 PM, Jim M. at mather...@gmail.com wrote: I think on a percentage basis, that could be a pretty significant

Pictures of these are really hard to come by for some reason. I stared at the red one had on the specials page for months, kept looking at that picture of the RCP one that Phillip had put up, finally called Riv and ended up with my Roadeo. I would think they could sell boat loads of these,

It just adds to the legend of being the rarest Riv model ever. They should have called it [T206] Honus Wagner. On Apr 12, 1:38 pm, Jim M. mather...@gmail.com wrote: Martin started a Legolas group here:http://www.flickr.com/groups/legolas/members/ Only 3 lonely Legolas (Legoli?) so

I would think they could sell boat loads of these, especially if they threw a few eyelets on I think it is written in the sacred Rivendell text that all their bikes will have eyelets. Legolai have a single set front and rear. I am really enjoying mine, and don't get why more people haven't

I believe the Legolas is one of the truly thing-gauge Rivendell models. Even the Roadeo isn't thin throughout all size range. I have no facts to back this up, just conjecture of course. But that makes it really unique. Yeah, wish I had one, too... On 4/12/11, Michael_S
