Rivendell LongLow - $1449 (nw CT)




Built in 1999 by Joe Starck, painted by Joe Bell. Geometry spec'd by Grant Petersen. Size 58cm, shorter top tube (57.5mm) The sizing might appear to be for a taller person but I am 5'8 1/2" with an inseam of just about 31" and the fits well and comfortably. If you research Rivendell fitting you'll see that those folks rely on pubic bone height for a good indicator of size of frame. The sizing tends to run slightly taller for their bikes but ultimately, I have found, more comfortable. This frame was designed for a relaxed riding position for me. Your experience may vary. Bike has not been ridden in 5 years.You'll need new tubes and new hoods for the brakes and a general cleanup and lubrication.
