I've got a very nice cyclocross/ versatile road bike for sale. It's in great

condition.



Frame:

2000 Gunnar Crosshairs, 60X59 -- sloping TT design, so the bars can be

brought up easily to suit taller riders.

TIG'd 853 with

Waterford 531 Cross Fork ( like the 1100 series Waterford cross bike)

Color: Black, minus most of the decals except for the head tube G. Most of

the parts are black as well.



Build:

Ritchey Logic 172.5 Cross Cranks (34/48) Ultegra (non-spline) BB

Paul's Neo-Retro Cantilevers (black) with Kool Stop Red pads

Salsa Bell Lap 44cm Cross handlebar (flared drops)

Dura Ace Bar End shifters

Shimano Brake Levers set up for cross (front brake on right -- actually

turns out to be a good general purpose set-up and not confusing for more

than about 5 seconds)

9-Speed Shimano XT RD/Cogset (11-32) Ultegra FD

Ritchey Threadless Steering -- headset, spacers & 12 cm Logic Pro flip/flop

stem

Control Tech Seatpost/Ritchey Saddle (or Rolls Due, your choice)

Build, maintenance and generous advice -- Sellwood Cycle Repair



Wheels (choose one -- add $100. if you want two sets):

Spinergy Spox R2 (2000 - black spokes, the more 'aero' ones with the Sun

Venus extrusion).

These have been flawless for me. Pretty low miles, haven't used them

off-road. I've seen crossers use them with success. They haven't felt stiff

enough on some bikes, but they seem a great match for the Gunnar. They

absorb road shock as advertised.



Mavic Classics Pro (1999) - medium miles, dead reliable and seemingly

bulletproof. Hubs rebuilt by Mavic. One cross race (in good weather!)and

some scattered Leif Erickson is their off road experience.



Ritchey OCR Pro (2000) - Easy miles on another, fair-weather road bike.

32/3-cross, front and rear.



The bike comes with two sets of tires: Michelin Axial Pro (25c) road tires

with a lot of miles to go, and virtually new (used three times) Ritchey

Cross tires.



The bike has only been raced once, and that's why I'm selling it. If I don't

use it for Cross, it just duplicates the function of my other road bikes.

The result is that it's got less than 1000 miles on it total -- maybe quite

a bit less. It's very clean, with very low wear consisting mainly of a

couple of small paint chips of the kind that are not evident from more than

about a foot away. My main regret is giving up the Ritchey cranks and the

Paul's brakes, which are excellent components. I can provide references for

the care and attitude that I apply to the care of my bikes, so no worries

about hidden abuse. I am pretty light for my size, and not the kind of rider

who breaks things very much.



It's ready to go -- $1000. $1100. with two wheelsets -- the only catch being

that one has to be the Spinergy set. If you want my Time Alium Atacs,add

$30.00.
