  1. Almost-new medium Fold Rush for sale. Black, purchased new from dealer April 2003 - not sure how
    long he had it in stock. 9 speeds, 11-34 cassette, SRAM Rocket shifters and composite brake levers,
    Shimano 105 front caliper brake, rear V-brake, 170 mm FSA carbon crankset triple, Easy Racers
    Blackburn rack that folds with bike, Koolback seat, Shimano 105 headset, rear 700c Mavic Open Pro
    Rim with 32 spokes, 28c CyclePro rear tire, front 451 Sun rim with Schwalbe Stelvio tire.

    I'm also including an older (came off another bike) heavy-duty Zipp fairing, which is fairly
    scratched but still servicable. I'm not including fairing mounting hardware - keeping that. Also,
    carbon fiber front and rear Easy Racers fenders are included, with some scratching and denting. Both
    items are included as-is.

    I have to speak with Pat at Terracycle - it has a prototype Easy Reachers underseat rack for Fold
    Rush which works well; however, I want to have Pat's permission before selling this with the bike.
    The price is irrespective of whether this is included it or not - if he agrees, it's a bonus to
    the buyer.

    I'm selling the bike because I have decided I prefer the lighter hardtail Gold Rush Replica and
    Cobra seat. The bike is in excellent condition.

    It was $3500.00 new in April, plus it has fenders, a rear rack specifically made for the Fold Rush,
    an expensive carbon crankset, and a serviceable fairing that you'll need to purchase mounting
    hardware for.

    $2600 new or best offer. Buyer pays shipping.

    Please contact [email hidden] for more details or to purchase. Serious inquiries only.

    Where are you located?

    The only review on the Fold-Rush I recall reading said it was faster than the GR. I take it you disagree?

  3. Seattle,

    I would say the Fold Rush is probably faster on flats or downhills where the roads are rough. But
    the hardtail bike climbs faster for me. It's lighter. I also prefer the Cobra seat, because I can
    push into it - you're not supposed to do 'leg presses' into the Koolback seat, and that's the only
    option on a Fold Rush.

    Note that I'm in *extreme* minority here; almost everyone rides the Koolback seat.
