Rivendell Custom Protovelo by Mark Nobilette

Rivendell Bicycle Works Custom Protovelo, single-maker frame and fork by Mark Nobilette in raw clear powder coat (now dark brown paint with creme accents - ed.). 62cm (60 c-c) frame, 650B wheels, cantilever brakes. Similar to a Saluki - an absolute joy to ride. This was my first "new" bike since kindergarten, and my first frame-up build. I switch out bars and such upon occasion. Details:
