Wish someone made these for threadless stems.

There are a lot of people interested in the Sam Hillborne. Ideally it would be
somebody local to Michigan who takes the complete bike. That way I don't have
to pay a shop in Michigan to box and ship it. I don't even have to be there.
If the person who buys it complete decides to part it out, there are a few
things I'd be interested in buying back. The Nitto Soba Noodle handlebars are
EXCEEDINGLY rare. I'd buy those. The Avocet R40 saddle is my all time
favorite, even though that one on the Hillborne is kind of ripped up on the
nose. I'd buy that. The stem shifters are super useful. The Sugino Mighty
900 is the best 172.5mm crankset that nobody has heard of, etc etc.

I'm in a state of bike overflow, and it's about to get a lot worse. I'm
getting pressure from the office manager in Michigan to take my two bikes out
of there, plus my adult daughter has elected to move back home after college
for a low-rent option to get her finances in order. So, in an ideal situation
I'd make 5 or 6 bikes go away. The most Rivendell friendly four that could be
prised free are:
59cm Romulus. I bought this a few years back for $800 locally, but ended up
reconfiguring it quite a bit. As it sits now with a 3x1 drivetrain and nice
dynamo wheels I would want $1400. Reconfigured back to something resembling
how I bought it, I could get it to around $1000. Frame + fork + headset: $700.
56cm Sam Hillborne. I bought this in December 2009 when they retailed for
$1000. It's the bike I've owned the longest, but it's been in Michigan for 4
years and I haven't died without it, so I can clearly live without it. Built
up nicely and complete, $2400. Frame set. $850.
58cm Gunnar custom singlespeed. Riv-adjacent because it was built by
Waterford. Riv-adhjacent because the original owner wanted to match a
Hillborne. I'd be looking for $1200 complete, or $600 for the frame set.
59cm Bridgestone RB-1. I bought the frame locally for $200. It's on its way
to being built up as a complete semi vintage 80s/90s road bike. I could pause
the build, or strip it down to the frame, or finish the build. Ideally it
would be somebody local who I know, and I could just work out a handshake deal.
Let me know if any of these interest you -OR- if you have admired another of my
bikes. I need space, so I'd work with you on price. Particularly if you are
local, or if we are acquainted. Pictures on request.
