Great job with the color of the bar tape and the Cava tires. The color of those bar end plugs is begiling-11/10. My favorite part, the massive head tube(my own drops are at seat height). I only can recommend a bit of 3m clear protection tape under the bag ties to protect that beautiful frame paint. The 6mm thickness from Amazon is more invisible than the 8mm. I use it for my chain-stay as well because I love the color of my frame. and it is hard to see. Thanks for sharing and Best wishes with it!
Beautiful bike! Some day I may try to do a similar build. I used to mix all 3 drivetrain groups together on a cobbled together build around the early 2010s. I had luck with using a 10 speed SRAM Rival WiFli rear derailleur with Campy 10 speed shifting. That allowed for an 11 to 36 cassette to be used, which was massive at the time. : ) Then I'd run my Dura Ace 10 speed crank as a 1x with a 38T chainring. Almost got me 1 to 1 for the easiest gear, but then I'd be spinning out on the long downhills. Still worked well though. But man, your pristine Dura ace rear derailleur and shiny cranks make that bike just gleam. With 2x cranks that can go super low now (26T small chainring) using the older smaller cassettes isn't as much of an issue as it was when "compact" cranks had a small 34 T chainring.
Flawless build. I'm starting to worry about those Campagnolo levers now that I've exhausted my supply of parts and I don't think they're manufacturing new cog carriers and the like.
I judge that to be one frame sized up from what I would use. So you should be about 6ft 5? I am a fan of the VO Randoneur bars with a decent drop and reach. I have them on 3 of my bikes. Makes it easy to adjust reach with a greater range of TT lengths.
sweet build, love the gold and orange accents.
So good
Well done!
Great job on the build!
Awesome rig!! What a beauty!
Beautiful, practical and long lasting. Other bikes may go away but bikes like yours are here to stay.
that is a giant frame! looks great btw
Nice rig
Top kit mate
very beautiful build, great job
This build is exactly what I would have done and is literally my dream bike
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
Gorgeous bike. Thanks for posting :) can’t get enough of these beautiful Rivendells!
Me neither! I've got another one in the works. They are so awesome.
@ Post your progress if you can. Would love to see how you build it and choose components 😍
Nice job, a great combo and an appropriate color for the day !
Thanks!
Sick build, sick bike, I’m totally jealous Dude! Lol
Thanks man!
Absolutely gorgeous 🤤
Thanks so much! I am pleased with how it turned out.

Beautiful build.
Thanks!
Roadini is the king of the bike jungle! I'd be tempted to get a lugged version too if I hadn't just pulled the trigger on a Charlie H Gallop.
That CHG will be cool.
What a beauty, on Halloween I'm a green-eyed monster!
What a ripper! I built myself a Sam Hillborne on Halloween!! Haha
Sweet! My next project is a Platypus which I hopefully will have fully built by the end of the month.

I'm taking very good care of them for that reason.

Great build. Is the seat post a nitto
Yes. Nitto S65.
Great Build!! I've been considering the T/A Specialties Carmina Crankset for a project of my own. What sort of chainring range is it capable of?
There are several nearly limitless compact chainring combos you can assemble. Check out the Peter White Cycles website.
THAT THING IS SICK!!!! What tires are you running on that?
Ultradynamico Cava Race 42mm.
