Hi: I've got a very nice cyclocross/ versatile road bike for sale. This bike works well for a lot of different things. It handles well on the road and off (especially since I got the flared bars!) It takes fenders or huge tires if that's what you want. I don't have an image of it, but I could get in one if needed to promote sale in places remote from Portland. Frame: 2000 Gunnar Crosshairs, 60X59 -- sloping TT design, so the bars can be brought up easily to suit taller riders. TIG'd 853 with Waterford 531 Cross Fork ( like the 1100 series Waterford cross bike) Color: Black, minus most of the decals except for the head tube G. Most of the parts are black as well. Build: Ritchey Logic 172.5 Cross Cranks (34/48) Ultegra (non-spline) BB Paul's Neo-Retro Cantilevers (black) with Kool Stop Red pads Salsa Bell Lap 44cm Cross handlebar (flared drops) Dura Ace Bar End shifters Shimano Brake Levers set up for cross (front brake on right -- actually turns out to be a good general purpose set-up and not confusing for more than about 5 seconds) 9-Speed Shimano XT RD/Cogset (11-32) Ultegra FD Ritchey Threadless Steering -- headset, spacers & 12 cm Logic Pro flip/flop stem Control Tech Seatpost/Ritchey Saddle (or Rolls Due, your choice) Build, maintenance and generous advice -- Sellwood Cycle Repair Wheels (choose one -- add $100. if you want two sets): Spinergy Spox R2 (2000 - black spokes, the more 'aero' ones with the Sun Venus extrusion). These have been flawless for me. Pretty low miles, haven't used them off-road. I've seen crossers use them with success.They haven't felt stiff enough on some bikes, but they seem a great match for the Gunnar. They absorb road shock as advertised. Mavic Classics Pro (1999) - medium miles, dead reliable and seemingly bulletproof. Hubs rebuilt by Mavic. One cross race (in good weather!)and some scattered Leif Erickson is their off road experience. Ritchey OCR Pro (2000) - Easy miles on a fair-weather road bike. 32/3-cross, front and rear. The bike comes with two sets of tires: Michelin Axial Pro (25c) road tires with a lot of miles to go, and virtually new (used three times) Ritchey Cross tires. The bike has only been raced once, and that's why I'm selling it. I don't use it for what it's intended, so it just duplicates the function of my other road bikes. The result is that it's probably got less than 1000 miles on it total -- maybe quite a bit less. It's very clean, with very low wear consisting mainly of a couple of small paint chips of the kind that are not evident from more than about a foot away. My main regret is giving up the Ritchey cranks and the Paul's brakes, which are truly excellent components. I can provide references for the care and attitude that I apply to the care of my bikes, so no worries about hidden abuse. I am pretty light for my size, and not the kind of rider who breaks things very much. It's ready to go -- $1150. $1250. with two wheelsets -- the only catch being that one has to be the Spinergy set, as I can't in good conscience put those on my Rivendell. If you want my Time Alium Atacs, add $30.00. If that seems high, make an offer. I don't think it's high, and it's less than Erik T. at Sellwood suggested. If you want to take a look, please call or e-mail and we'll set it up.
