As an editorial aside, it is always strange to me that the Rivendell aesthetic is to go with very low end spec on the "most complicated" parts (Sram Eagle derailleurs and Microshift shifters) and then go with ridiculously high end on the simplest parts (Paul brake levers, Nitto...)

And I can't get used to those "bordering-on-cargo-bike" long chain stays.

Brand new 51cm Rivendell Joe Appaloosa frame. 650B, LOADED with Paul C - $4,400 (Medford)




Selling for my friend who ordered two brand new Rivendell frames for herself and her partner. Apparently they decided that they should only keep one so their other Riv (an A. Homer Hilsen) stays and this one is up for sale.

It has seen no miles beyond a ride or two around the parking lot and the pictures show it. The frame was taped with helicopter tape to protect the paint before being built up. Everything is brand new. Details on this insane build, LOADED with Paul Comp, White Ind, Dynamo, etc. below.

Rivendell Joe Appaloosa, 51cm
Tosco 55cm Bars
Paul Motolite Brakes
ESI Chunky Grips
Paul Love Levers
Nitto Technomic 225 Quill Stem

White Industries M15 Rear Hub

Busch & Muller IQ-X Dynamo Headlight
Velocity Quills rims
Ultradynamico Cava tires
Brooks Cambium C17 saddle
DT Swiss Competition Spokes

Riv Silver 38x24 with Guard
SRAM Eagle GX Derailleur

If you've read this far you know what this is and it's worth. Asking price is less than what is into it, but not by much given everything is literally brand new.
  • do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers
It is kind of an odd build. Lots of eye candy, though.

I've read of bar end shifters mounted as thumbies with an adapter, but those don't look like any bar end shifters I've seen. Did the seller mis-speak?
