How much is this worth?
Rivendell Bleriot
It is selling for $799 but the bike shop guy says it could be sold for $1,500. But then why arent they selling it for that. I am contemplating picking it up if it is indeed worth that much more.

Is it new or used? What drivetrain Groupe?
Most important: does it fit?

Lugged steel frame
650B Wheels
A lot of style
They do sell for a lot. If it is your size, and you like it, it's a bargain. A friend of mine has one.

Riv generaly gets $1k for a bare frame. If it is in really good shape and has a nice Groupe thats probably a really good deal.

If it fits, that's a good deal. Maybe TOO good. This is a legit shop, I assume, and not some back alley deal, right?

Well, if it was built up by Rivendell themselves, they would know what to stick on the bikes, I'd assume...
I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

The Shop got the frame from Rivendell and built the rest up themselves. I will get some more specs on it and get back to you guys and gals!
