This is a special bike, but the reason I bought it will not be realized. It has S&S couplers for travel. I bought it thinking I would travel with it, but two things happened. First, it is too nice for me to pack it. And second, some airlines now charge huge fees if you declare that the box contains a bike, even if it meets their size limitations for checked bags. I am offering the frame/fork/headset, spare fork, custom painted to match Rivendell (Nitto lugged) stem (100mm), S&S tool, Bruce Gordon quick disconnects for the derailleur cables, hard S&S travel case, & soft S&S travel case, with velcro protective sleeves for the frame tubes for $2950 shipped within 48 states. The size is 54cm c-c seattube and 55cm c-c toptube. The serial number is RS1, indicating it was the first Richard Sachs made Rivendell. I don't think Richard made many. The original owner had it built for short reach brakes, but later became convinced he needed long reach for larger tires and fenders. Goodric h built a second fork, which is the one painted to match the frame. The brake bridge was also moved. I have the original fork in the original light blue color and it is included. The bike was then modified for couplers and repainted. Excellent condition. I have more pictures available. One pic at the link below. Email me direct at loudeeter@aol.com. I will deliver to Greensboro in May for $100 less.
