New (never built) Rawlands dSogn, size M/L (SOLD)
This is an “adventure” (their term) frame which builds up into a great offroad touring/cyclocross/mountain bike/do it all bike. It fits tires up to the 2.3″ Pacenti Neo-Motos in 650B, or around 700×40mm wide tires in 700C. It has a geometry that is nice on road or off and has all of the mounting points for touring gear, or builds up as a lightweight bike without all of that stuff. I personally think it is much cooler than the classic Bridgestone XO-1.
When I bought this frame they were out of the canti model, so I ordered the disk model. I thought I might want to use canti brakes, so I ordered it with a canti fork. Both forks are included, or I’ll sell it with just the disk fork for $40 less.
Geometry:
- Seat Tube (C-C): 50cm
- Effective Top Tube: 57.5cm
- Standover: 81cm
- Seat Tube Angle: 73 degrees
- Head Tube Angle: 73 degrees
- Fork Rake: 50mm
- Trail: 47mm with 650B x 33mm tires, 55mm with 650B x 58mm tires
- Head tube length: 19cm
- Chainstay Length: 45cm
- BB Drop: 60mm
- Wheelbase: 1053.7
- Seatpost: 27.2mm
- Headset: 1 1/8″ threadless
- Bottom bracket: 68mm
Condition is basically perfect since this bike was never built up.
$XXX plus shipping (or $XXX with just one fork) (SOLD)
58cm 1983 Trek 520, 650Bified (SOLD)
This is a 1983 Trek 520 which has been converted to 650B wheel size and with all of the brazeons added to make it a great city, randoneeuring, or touring bike. It fits tires up to 38mm wide. The tubing is lightweight Reynolds 501 in standard diameters so it rides nicely. It has long horizontal dropouts so you can build it up any way that you like (derailleurs, fixed,internal hub gear).
Condition is pretty good. There are not dents in the tubing. The silver powder coat has a lot of smudges and dirt,but there aren’t any chips.
The following brazeons were added by a professional builder in Spokane: 3 water bottle boss cages, head tube pump peg, downtube shift bosses, mid-fork eyelets on the fork, canti posts (positioned for 650B wheels).
