Rivendell Madness!

January 21, 2010 by pedalevolutionblog

I returned from a little holiday in Mexico to a phenomenal surprise last week.  The good folks at Rivendell decided to donate a portion of their overstock inventory to Pedal Rev!  This is incredibly generous of them and a huge benefit to help support our shop and our youth interns.

We’ve received some complete Rambouillet bicycles, a few frames, and a pretty large assortment of parts:  Nitto stems, seatposts, bottle gages, and racks, Tioga and MKS pedals, Nigel Smith and Sackville bike bags, Campy Front Derailleurs, Saddle covers, and Shimano hubs.

Pedal Rev is selling all of these items at discounted prices (with Rivendell’s permission).  This is a great opportunity to pick up some really nice parts for your bike at a great price.  I will post photos and prices of all the items next week.

The Rambouillet bike is a model that Rivendell no longer offers.  These are beautiful lugged steel do-all road style bikes with plenty of attention to detail.  The sizes that we received are 50 and 52cm.  They are spec’d with excellent quality parts from Sugino, Nitto, Brooks, and Shimano.  If you or anyone you know fit the 50 or 52cm size range and would be interested in a fantastic bike at a stellar price come and check these out!  We don’t have many and they will likely go very fast at the price we are selling them-$1575 complete (the original price of the frameset w/ headset was around $1300).

Here is a list of the components on stock bikes:

50cm and 52cm Rambouillets with the original Rivendell spec’d parts:
-Nitto Rando bar
-Nitto Technomic Dlx stem
-Nitto Crystal Fellow seatpost
-Shimano Ultegra headset
-Shimano Ultegra rear derailleur
-Shimano 105 front derailleur
-Shimano 105 chain
-Shimano 105 cassette
-Shimano 105 hubs
-Shimano brake levers
-Shimano brake calipers
-Shimano Dura Ace 9spd bar end shifters
-Sugino triple crankset
-Tange bottom bracket
-Panaracer Pasela tires

Pedal Rev  adds:
-Brooks B17 saddle
-MKS CT Lite pedals
-Bar tape

Price: $1,575

Frameset’s also available in 50 & 52cm for $900.

Here are some pics and a link to the new Rivendell Reader in PDF format:
