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.
