how "used" is it?

[So Live]

i've been messing around with the idea of selling my bike, any idea what i could get?

bareknuckle frame
dura ace cranks
phil wood hubs
deep v's
all that good junk

Shit Jay, i totally forgot you ride...

That sounds like a bad ass plan right there haha. Do it up!

chris its my plan to sell the bike though! lol.

it sucks. i moved out of the city about a year ago, and haven't ridden it since. People don't 'get' bike riders out here, and i don't feel safe on the streets really.

but i'd still like to have some sort of bike, just not something so high end.

the bike is practically mint minus needing some new bar tape.

i have over 2200 into it.

but honestly, don't see getting more than like 1400. its probably better to part it out if i want to get a decent price for it

Prolly. Theres a guy selling a bareknuckle on tarck for about 500 for the frame

[z50_Jumper]

Not sure if its a repost, but this bike is rediculous!

My mid 80's Guerciotti:

Found the frame on ebay a couple of years ago. Crappy pics, no other bids. The frame showed up pretty mint and never built up. I applied framesaver and built it up with some components I have been dreaming about. Need pedals and need to trim brake cables.

Columbus SLX tubing
Campagnolo Record headset
Campagnolo Record brakes
Dura-Ace 9 drivetrain
Dura-Ace 9 downtube shifters
Ultegra BB
Thomson Elite seat post
Flite TT
Mavic Heliums
Titanium skewers

^^^ BEAUTIFUL^^^^^^^ wow.

I cried tears of joy. That bike is fucking gorgeous. :shock:

[grantlacey11]

get a specialized HT...you will get much better components for the price just becuase they are such a big company...take it from an employee at a spec dealer.

ROFL I thought by what should you get you meant should you get the bike you mentioned :-x

Well that kinda sucks though. Id say pick up a kilo tt or something. Id love to be in the position to buy your bike, it sounds mean. GL!

Thank you very much. That means a lot. I had been dreaming of putting something like this together for a long time. After I got the frame in Feb '07 I took out my 1999 Colorado Cyclist catalogs and searched the web for all my dream parts that I had marked off back when I was fresh out of college with no cash or hopes of having a nice bike. It took me about a year to gather and build.

I'm not understanding the coiled brake cable...
