Great deal. Drippy/crummy paint job on the fork (same as mine -- really not an issue for most).

Ebay: 1983 Trek 970

admin — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:02:01 GMT

If I didn't have a great road bike I'd be all over this one.

This is a great great classic american made road/racing bike.

Columbus tubing, silver brazed, standard tubing. This frame would start at $1000 today and you'd have to have ti custom made.

2009 Raleigh one-way

admin — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:27:02 GMT

I just realized that this bike is a low trail bike. I don'tknow of a mass-produced biek with a trail of around 40mm.

Add to that the double butted steel frame and the canti brakes and that it ships with fat tires (35mm) + fenders and you have a damn good platform for a do-anything bike.

With horizontal dropouts (instead of track drop outs) it's even more appealing. just build up an wheel with an internally geared hub and you've got a great do everything bike. if i owned a shop, i'd build up a couple with a sram 7 speed or i9 and a hubbub drop bar shifter adapter... put a front rack on there, you're golden.

damn. i wonder what the retail is? as you think about the midnight century for next year, this would be a great rig.

michael -- out at N division bikes is the only raleigh dealer that I know of in town.

too many bikes. not enough life.

iBOB list: RockCombo -- $350 shipped

admin — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:08:29 GMT

from the iBOB list:

For Sale: 19.5" Specialized RockCombo is very good shape. All parts of OEM
except for Sugino 94bcd crankset and Nimbus tires. White color and decal-less
so no aqua blue to scream Miami Vice. Looks to be very low miles. No dents or
dings. BB1 bars.Suntour index 7 shifters. Email for pics and more info. $350
shipped or pick it up for three hundred in Western Mass. Thanks, Rob in
Amherst, MA rhendry (at) admin.umass.edu

These are cool bikes. They were sort of xo-1'ish -- 26" tires, steeper HT than most mountain bikes, 3-butted tubing. They also predated the xo-1. neat bikes. a great spokane bike if you like to hit trails and commute and like a quicker-handling bike. this is a good deal for a cool old bike wityh all the original parts. sweet bars. and this guy has a sugino 94 bcd cranksete on there. even better than the original.

dang. i wish i needed this bike.

someone please buy it!

CL: Mystery Trek

admin — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 17:18:26 GMT

My guess is that it's an 83 760. size 58 or 61.

$500 is expensive. Not a give away. $350-$400 would be a bit more reasonable, but if I didn't have a new frame coming, I'd consider $500 for this. It's got suntour superb, which is, welll, superb stuff.

If this is the 760, it would be a fantastic Spokane road bike --- think road/dirt/easy trails/etc.

ad: http://spokane.craigslist.org/bik/793769973.html -- the seller, in colbert, has a couple other interesting bikes.

hard to tell what the guy has here and he has zero information in the ad.

If it's a 912, some say this was the highest quality production bike ever to come out of Japan. A steal at $95

Looks to be about a 60-62 cm.

Kogswell Frame -- bulk load -- cheap

admin — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 04:25:15 GMT

Looks like Kogswell made an ordering goof... this is a great deal for a smart frame. size 59 only.

his email is kogswellcycles@gmail.com.

kogswell P/R is here: http://www.kogswell.com/sitePRODUCTS.php

one question to know is which forks is he including with it. and what kind of brakes.

This is temping. Size 59 fits me perfect. I'm 5' 10"

Details follow

Hi, All.

I have 32 59cm x 650B P/Rs in my current order and I'm
looking for a way to move them quickly.

So I'm testing the waters here to see if there's any interest.

Before you get excited, let me give you the details:

- they were built w/ 31.8 downtubes instead of the 28.6
so they're more like the G1 59s

- I will offer them with headsets and seat clamps and
BB cable guides - NO fenders - NO seatposts - I have
fenders and seatposts, but they will cost extra

- And each frame will include a G2 650B fork

- Anthony at Longleaf has agreed, in kind, to offer
650B wheels built with the Weinmann ZAC-19 rims
to those who need them

$339 plus whatever Fed Ex charges you for shipping.

Anyone interested?

I could start shipping them at the end of August.

Matthew

27" wheels?

Ken — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:01:21 GMT

Anybody out there got a decent (alloy) 27" back wheel or wheelset they're willing to part with? Looking for something to fit a 126mm dropout.

Great new production frame

admin — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:28:39 GMT

This is f'ing cool: http://www.boxdogbikes.com/blog/?p=349

This will likely become my default recommendation for people that want smart/all-rounder prodcution frames that can handle a front load well. Today it's kogswell, but there are some issues there that make building them up a bit wonky-fussy. And these frames are made in US. with standard diameter/9-6-9 tubing. This is essentially a modern RB-T with low trail and horizontal dropouts.

$900 for frame/fork

smart smart smart.

Neat old Specialized mountain bike

Ken — Sat, 31 May 2008 23:46:46 GMT

Volunteers of America thrift store has an old Hardrock, looks to be late 80s or early 90s, about a 22" frame (too small for me). It's got Sugino cranks, Suntour components, and one of those weird roller-cam rear brakes mounted on the chainstays. Gloriously god-awful shade of green.They're asking $60.

CL: Trek 520 is this the coveted 83?

admin — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:42:38 GMT

Not sure on year.

But if it's an 83 (and the color scheme is promising), then this is a beaut and should go to family.

1985 Trek 760 - Bicycle Butler

admin — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 02:24:31 GMT

Nice old racer. Campy/Dura Ace parts. A bit rough - paint chips; some surface rust; etc -- it's still good for another 30 years of riding though. They want $250. I think it was a 58cm.

http://www.vintage-trek.com/images/trek/85TrekRacing.pdf

Some one please: save me from myself on this one. I so don't need this bike, but I want to keep it in the family...

Windsor in Browne's Addition

Taylor — Thu, 29 May 2008 16:14:33 GMT

Thougth I would mention this Windsor that is for sale at Rosaurs in Browne's Addition. It looks like a pretty cool blue frame maybe around a 58cm with old Suntour derailleurs and old Shimano 600 Brake levers. The cranks are 170's and it has a short stem, but not sure how long. I don't think the wheels are 700c. It's got fenders. They are asking $100.00 for it,which felt like to much to me, but what do I know.

CL: potentially interesting schwinn

admin — Thu, 08 May 2008 21:28:53 GMT

if this is one of the Japanese bikes, it's probably a pretty nice sport tourer -- http://spokane.craigslist.org/bik/672943738.html

CL: Bike for Ken

admin — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:21:35 GMT

I don't really know much about these, but the Raliegh international and the raleigh competition are highly sought after bikes.

This is the competition. A race bike. Likely has all old-school campy stuff on it.

Ken: looks like it fits you, but you'll be expected to wear an ascot if you buy it.

$450.

CL: Miyata 912

admin — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 05:06:04 GMT

will someone please buy this quick so i don't do something stupid.

this is a great bike -- basically similar quality/tubing/craftsmanship to the rb-1. it's been said... he said passivly ... that the build quality of the miyata of this era was as good as it gets for production bikes. if i hadn't found my rb-1, this bike would be in my garage by tomorrow.

the ad says 58-60cm. looks bigger to me, but maybe it's just the pics.

http://spokane.craigslist.org/bik/638075890.html

CL: nice sport tourer

john — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 17:45:50 GMT

looks to be mid-90's. should be around $100, but $150 is fair too.

admin — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:23:11 GMT

if you're into cantilevered frames and cool front racks

but the money here is the "2-speed" part: likely a bendix 2-speed kickback hub on this sucker. cool hub.

At $75, by the time you read this it will probably be sold.

nice paint job

admin — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 19:19:27 GMT

i dig this bike:

this is an old 80's specialized sirrus. back when they were lugged and made in Japan. I'm pretty sure the Miyata folks make this era of road bike. I know they made the specialized expedition back then.

This would be a fun bike to ride and it's a looker too!

it's for sale on craiglist in san fran.....http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/602600607.html

1983 Miyata 100

hippestman — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 00:15:26 GMT

I've got an 83 Miyata 100 for sale, overall condition is very good. Nearly complete except for a missing saddle, non-original bars and levers. It's got semi-horizontal drop outs, so it would make a great fixie/ss. It's about a 17" or 54cm ish lugged frame, headbadge says handmade in Japan. Attached is a link to the catalogue. I'd like to get $75, but I'll entertain offers or trades. I'll send a picture if you're interested.

This is not a good deal, but it's one of those deals that makes you feel bad. Well. It makes me feel bad.

Here's the bike:

The story, from http://slo.craigslist.org/bik/594910132.html, "in storage for 17 years, i doubt there is one in better condition anywhere in the world, less than 3 miles on bike "

I wish Liza were into competitive mountain biking. If she was, and I had nothing better to do with $1600, it would rule to buy this bike. These bikes were for racing. They used super light tubing and were tig-welded to reduce weight (compared to those heavy ass lugs); fancy, light, smart components. Apparently, these frames would fail if they were abused by oafs like me.

Wade: this looks like it would fit you just right.
