Rivendell Road Standard Frameset
Hello, up for grabs is this rare opportunity to own a classic Rivendell road frameset, unlike anything they make today. This frame has a low BB, stage race geometry, accepts 'short reach' road caliper brakes and has clearance for 700 x 28 tires. The frameset includes fender eyelets and 'hidden' seat stay rack eyelets. Waterford built around 1995 and refinished beautifully by Tom Kellogg of Spectrum Cycles some years ago with stunning Silver paint and Dark Blue head tube accent.
The intricate lugged steel construction is made up of Reynolds 753 main tubes, Reynolds 531 fork blades, Everest BB shell, and Shimano horizontal dropouts.
Includes a smooth and mint Campagnolo Record 1" threaded headset.
There is a small ding in head tube (see last picture). Otherwise, excellent used shape with hardly a scuff. The ding does not affect the integrity of the frame and I have ridden it for years without issue.
Geometry:
- 56 cm center-center seat tube, 57.5 cm center-top seat tube
- 57.5 center-center top tube
- 42.5 cm center-center chainstay
- 14.8 cm head tube end-end including the extension but not including the headset stack and generous spacer.
- 81 cm standover
- 100.5 cm wheelbase from front hub to dropout center
This frame will fit a rough 5'9" to 5'11" range rider depending on preferences. My opinion is Rivendells are supposed to fit 'big' which means ride a size or two up from a normal off-the-shelf road bike, for minimal post exposure and higher handlebars. The slack seat tube angle and low BB make the bike not feel as large as the numbers may dictate.
Frame specifics: English threaded BB, 27.2 post required, 28.6 mm clamp on front derailleur required, 1" threaded fork/headtube, 130 mm rear end spacing
Thanks for looking!
