20 inch c-c, but with installed seatpost, fits me, who am 5'10". With Target Trash Can Fenders, Greenfield kickstand, pump, Burley Piccolo rack, cheap purple fenders (note: high point in front tire slightly scrapes mounting rivet; a file should fix it). $200 plus shipping in CONUS, negotiable. Trades considered. Blue paint is pretty good; some nicks, a few little spots of surface rust, but the frame is on the whole Good.
NOTE THAT, in order to get the frame to accomodate the crankset, I very delicately made a broad "U" shaped dent in the right chainstay. Note also that this sort of denting was routinely done by builders using steel tubes; it wont' hurt the chainstay. Tubing sticker sez Chromo dubble butted, but it's no lightweight. Gnashbahar moustache bar on Nitto Technomic non-deluxe 10 cm stem. Nice, white, cheap, prolly Gnashbaaar white tape tacked to bar with tasteful black electrishins' tape. Crankset is from a Ssshwin mixte: arm swaged to spider, original bolts replaced with sturdier ones and loctited in place; your backpedaling won't budge it. Single 40 t ring. Single fixed 18 t cog, for 65 inch gear. I'll give you a $10 credit if you forego the fixed cog and supply your own cog or fw. Single old, very nice, psoodo drillium Shimano 600 non-aero river pulling very nice Shimano 600 single pivot caliper with NOS cheepo pads; stops fine; note that caliper barrel adjuster is so to speak aftermarket and scavenged from my brake small parts bin. The brake works fine. Very-newish MKS GR-9 platforms with something plastic clips slightly cut down to be used without straps. Headset is the original steel: overhauled. BB bearings: scavenged from aforementioned Sssshhhhinn, and also overhauled. Wheels are stock: 25 or so mm wide single section alum rims attached by 36 zinc plated spokes to alum noname hubs; bearings overhauled. The rear wheel has been profeshionuly un-dished by moi. But no vice grips used. Bottle cage; no provenance offered. If you remember to ask me I will throw in a Black Honka Hoota, but you must install it. Greenfield kickstand. San Marco plastic covered saddle; it's really a pretty comfortable saddle, at least for me. I think that this bike would best fit someone a bit shorter than I, so that the rider could put the saddle lower and more level with the bars. But, even for my 5'10" self, it's alright if you are not riding very long distances. -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM Professional Resumes. Contact resumespecialt...@gmail.com Post Scriptum: Note that Dylan's #2 bootleg CD is very much worth getting. Note also that the reason I am selling the Nishiki is that I really don't need two grocery bikes; the Motobecane is enough, and I'd rather spend the $$ on a decent bike rack for the Taurus. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
