Among the last of the orange, single TT, side/centerpull Sams. I like this bike, it fits and has worked well for me, but it overlaps a lot with my Elephant <http://www.elephantbikes.com> National Forest Explorer<http://flic.kr/s/aHsjCZ31E4>, and I prefer the 650b and low trail geometry for country biking and light touring. I was thinking about keeping the Sam around as a dedicated touring bike, but I could use the money, the space, and the credit I would build with my wife for future bike purchases (The list: 62cm canti-Saluki, 64cm Atlantis, Pugsley, if anyone has one to sell or trade). It's a fairly standard Riv-ish build put together by The Country Bike Shop in Celina Ohio - XD2 crank w/ 11-34 cassette, xt/synergy wheels. technomic stem and 46cm noodles, cane creek levers, shimano bar-ends, generic seatpost. I upgraded (at least, I count it as an upgrade) to Paul center-mounted centerpulls (and therefore koolstop pads). Brushed silver longbard fenders. Jack Brown Greens. I've only had the bike for a year or two-ish but I used it, so there are some small paint chips etc. No big scratches I'm aware of and no dents.
For all of that, no pedals, saddle, racks, I'm asking $1500 shipped. I'll have it boxed by my LBS. There are a few extras: Berthoud Aravis touring saddle. Barely used - maybe a few hundred miles, a total ass hatchet for me (I found Brooks saddles were comfortable from the start, by contrast). There are a few tooth marks from when I just opened the package, put it on the table, turned around to play with the kickflix bag clamp, and then found my dog had taken it down and started gnawing on the very foremost tip. I don't think it will effect function or longevity. $150 shipped. Mark's rack - just the stuff I used to mount it, don't have the extra p-clamps - $75 shipped. Nitto top rack - ditto re: mounting kit - $75 shipped Acorn Boxy Rando bag - no derailleur needed, has loops that go over the handlebars. Too small for me - could never reach it. But, perfectly functional. $150 shipped. I have a set of Shimano M324 pedals, $35 shipped. For all of the above, basically everything you need for a fully functioning country bike, I'd like $1900 shipped. I've tried to make prices reasonable, but if I've missed the mark, we can have a discussion about it. Cheers and I hope this bike finds a good home. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
