Hey OBRA-

I'm looking for a flat-bar, light and fast neighborhood dirt and pavement
attack bike. A fully rigid MTB... like a svelte and lightweight rigid
single speed 29er, only with gears, that i can throw 1.9's on? Or... maybe
a cross bike with flat bars and a lot of tire clearance... which I'm
guessing is a lot more common in this town. Either way I think you get the
cut of my jib.

well used is fine, preferable actually, as long as most of it still has a
lot of life left (i.e. used and somewhat cheap, for a light/quality setup).

(i'm not looking for a bike-packing 29er, or an entry-level hardtail w/
crappy suspension fork, etc., or a plus or fat bike)

Anyone have anything you're looking to part with?

frame size wise, I'm a Large-to-XL / 58cm-ish.

Looking to spend a grand, hopefully less.

Bueller? (please reply off-list)

thanks,
Fred
