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.
