Update to clarify photos: Yes, those are 48mm Soma Shikoro tires in the earlier Bullmoose iteration. I still have them and would swap out for the Rock ‘n Roads if desired. No, the Bullmoose bars are sold and no longer available. See the last couple of photos for current build.
And here are some detail photos of the racks alone: https://photos.app.goo.gl/CGtfU71uhkEvataf9 There is some deterioration of the BG sticker on the rear rack. Otherwise, they are excellent condition thanks to a durable Smurf blue powdercoat! > On Dec 2, 2023, at 2:10 PM, Eric M Cardella <ecarde...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Winter sorting and garage cleaning has me thinking about (n-1)+1. > > Short version: Asking $1,300 plus shipping from Oregon for my Taiwan-built > Bruce Gordon BLT in battleship gray, to be sold as pictured as a complete > bike with BG racks (made in Petaluma, CA), or make me an offer on the > F/F/HS+BB plus racks.
