Hello and happy springtime...

First up: a Lemond Poprad. I think they called it a 52cm -- 52cm seat
tube by about a 53.5 top tube.

The fork on there now is a steel Gunnar; when I bought it, it hard a
carbon fork, but I didn't like it, so I went with mismatched steel :)

Parts on it...
-5600 shifters
-Chris King headset
-Kona stem, FSA wing pro compact bars
-Syncros straight post, Turbomatic saddle
-48/34 Sugino compact cranks (from Velo-Orange, no more than 200
miles on em)
-6600 rear derailleur
-Campy Record FD (will probably take this off when I sell it... not
surprisingly, front shifting isn't that great!)
-Paul Neo Retro brakes
-Mismatched Shimano wheelset -- rear Ultegra to OP, front 105 to CXP,
12-25 cassette
(the wheels are rather well-worn, both in hubs and rims... will need
some work to ride smoothly, or can just be swapped out)

Asking $750 complete (well, minus that silly front derailleur)

Second up: a custom "Tanaka" road frameset. Mixed lugged and fillet
brazing, made by a builder in Sacramento. Not sure of tubing or date
of production.
51cm seat tube, 52.5 cm top tube. Frame has one tiny ding in DT, and
a few other chips in the paint.

-Ultegra threaded HS
-unknown quill stem
-Nitto B115 bars
-10s indexed Shimano bar-end shifters, Cane Creek aero brake levers
-Shimano 600 RD, crankset and brakes; Santé front derailleur
-Shimano RS200 wheelset with only 500-600 miles of use since
purchased new
-American Classic seatpost and Turbomatic saddle

The drivetrain is obviously a little unorthodox, but the shifting is
good, and I like this setup as an alternative to STI levers.

How about the same price -- $750 -- for this guy?

Prices are negotiable within reason. I'm located in SE Portland by
Brooklyn Park.

Thanks! Please email with questions, to come check out the bikes, etc
etc.
