[RBW] Re: PSA: Budget wanna-be Roadeo for sale: Black Mountain Cycles

2016-06-20 Thread Bill Lindsay 

Update:  I went ahead and bought the bike back from Chris.  I have a few 
ideas about how to put several of the parts to good use, but the frameset 
itself really is an extra.  So, I am offering up for sale the frame + fork 
+ headset + brake calipers for $500 shipped.  It's a 59cm Black Mountain 
Cycles road frameset in orange.  
Here's a photo of the complete bike, although the complete build has 
changed a bit since then

Black Mtn 

I'm open to negotiating for more of a complete build if that is what you 
are after:

Bill. I think your builds are very eclectic and you are an envy-worthy 
problem solver and mechanic. I have no mechanical ability whatsoever but I 
like to think I appreciate craft when I see it. I really like your hack 
with the Shimano CX70 cantis that I am using on my X0-1 and I might pass 
that to my mechanic and partner to implement:) I think your budget 
Roadeo in the ad is a really nice build and someone will really like it.

build detail that might go unnoticed:

My build was 100% ziptie free.  :-)

I did use a Willow Tripleizer ring to make a Campy double crankset into a 
39/25 compact double.  The "big ring" was a genuine campy 42 tooth ring 
that I "artisinally curated" with a file into a chainguard.

I definitely agree w/Belopsky.  If I hadn't just bought Bruce's 59cm Roadeo 
yesterday (s excited!), I'd probably be contacting Chris about this 
very well thought out build.
