Product Description
The "Ram" as it's called is a handmade all-road bike from before that was even a thing. Riv would call it a road bike with country bike tendencies. It's designed to be extrordinarily comfortable with an upright position while still being fast. It uses standard reach brakes has clearance for 700x38c or 35mm's with fenders. Not only is it a blast to ride and comfy on long rides, it's drop dead gorgeous. It features Long Shen Japanese lugs swimming with swirls, curves, cutouts, and asymmetrical features.
Condition
Excellent lightly used shape! Frame is straight with no rust. Original paint overall is 8 out of 10, just a handful of small blemishes. Its one of those bikes that on first glance looks nearly new and upon close inspection you notice tiny chips and scratches. It does have two very insignificant dings; one is on the top of the top tube (~pea-sized & less than 1mm deep) and the smaller is bottom/driveside of downtube under the "M" (more of a scuff that slightly pushed the paint inward. You can't really see a gap when putting a straight edge on it, in pics).
