I'm selling my Rivendell Clem Smith Jr H 52 cm. It has been well cared for and maintained by me and my local bike shop. There are scratches and scuffs here and there. I tried to capture them all on the pictures. There is a spot of corrosion on the kick stand plate where I had bolted on a Velo Orange kickstand, which is not pictured, but could be included if you would like it. I found it to add unnecessary weight, but it was useful when loading up panniers at Trader Joe's. I'm parting with this beautiful steed because it is just a bit too big for me. I'm sizing down to a 50cm. I'm 5'6" -ish for reference with a short torso I guess. Watch Rivendell's PBH tutorial which can be found on their website for their sizing recommendations. I would say it would be great for 5'7" to 5'10"-- it has a long wheelbase compared to other bikes in the category. Compared to a Surly Long Haul Trucker I think it's longer. You can compare on Bike Insights if you want to compare it to a bike model and size you have ridden. I've ridden in it mostly in Chicago with potholes, but also had on single track and gravel too. It's pretty bombproof whether you're using it for a grocery run, commuting to work, pavement, gravel, dirt, etc.

It's a pretty high spec build:
