Okay, benters: Super deal! I've cut the price of my TE to $2500 plus
shipping for the whole deal--underseat panniers and all. This is a
screaming deal with a bike with so many features, accessories, and so
few miles (1,300). Heck, the fairing/mounts and underseat rack and
bags together go for $700 new!
Original post:
Well, I've decided to go back to the world of SWB. I love the handling
and all of my TE, but the SWB will work better for me, especially as
my commuting buses now have bike racks.
This black Tour Easy is a sweet, custom deal with many up grades and
accessories. All told, I've got about $4k invested. The bike has about
1,300 miles on it and was purchased last year in Nov. The only down
side is that I fell once, so the fairing is scratched, and the seat
frame and rear dr. have small, not very noticeable scratches, too. The
rest of the bike is clean.
On the plus side, this is what you get!
Tinted Super Zzipper fairing and mounts (suitable for full body sock);
tinting helps tone down the scratches
Tail Sok and mounting hardware (tent pole version)
XT rear dr. 445 front dr.
Dura Ace barend shifters
Two water bottle cages
Adjustable stem
Brakes:
Avid Ball bearing rear disc
Avid Arch Rival front
Avid 7 Speed dial levers
Velocity Aeroheat rims on Ritchy sealed pro hubs
Ritchy WCS Lifetime Headset
Suntour Superb cranks (170) with 24/38/48 rings
Philwood stainless bottom bracket
Sram chain
Frame and Handlebar bags
Rear rack
Planet Bike fenders
Cyclestar mirror
Single leg kickstand (for light weight) AND ESGE double leg stand!
Easy Rider underseat pannier rack
Easy Rider Lloooongg panniers
Currently the bike is fitted with Schwalbe Marathons, but I'll include
a hardly used Ritchy Tomslick rear, Vredestein Monte Carlo slick
front, and an unused, folding rear tire as a spare for touring. I'll
also include some basic platform pedals and toe clips.
Add water bottles, a pump, your basic tools, and this is set to tour!
I'm asking $2800--NO! $2500 for the whole deal or $2300 for the bike
without the
underseat panniers and rack, which I can sell separately. It kind of
breaks my heart to sell it, but this is not the right bike for me at
this time. I'd like to send it to a good home, but her new owner will
need to be tall. I'd really rather not deal with packing and shipping,
but if absolutely required, purchaser can pay for all this to be done
by my LBS. I can, however, deliver or meet halfway within a large
radius of central and southern California. (I'd drive a few hours to
meet someone). I've attached a link to pictures of me and the bike
heading out on a tour. I'll be adding detail photos soon.
Cheers,
Scott
