Bill, it looks like a super bike and I have always wanted
one of these types of bikes, but I can't ride them because I
will get numb feet after about a half hour or so from the
high BB. I would be curious as to why you are selling this
bike. Was it that the high bottom bracket was causing foot
numbness for you or was it just other comfort problems
(maybe neck pain) or handling problems (balance, steering,
ergonomics).

This Optima is in excellent condition with gold paint.
This was a demo bike, but ridden infrequently. It has been
ridden about 150 miles at the most. Mostly it just sat
around the shop (GoBent Cycles of Wenatchee, WA). The
seating angle is an adjustable and very laid back 20-25
degrees. Deore disc hubs, rear derailleur, and shifters.
Magura Judy hydraulic disc brakes (phenomenal stopping
power!), Tiagra cranks and front derailleur. Rear
spring/oil shock, dual 20" wheels with Vredestein tires.

Also included are a few different pieces of foam of
varying firmness, as well as the cloth cover for the foam.
I will also include a brand new front fender. If you wear
a size 46 (or thereabouts) shoe, I will toss in some
shimano shoes as well. Pedals not included

This bike retails for about $2950, I am asking $2350 OBO,
shipping not included (but very reasonable if we use
greyhound!) Trades involving a Rotator bike will be
considered.

Thanks for looking,
