Anyone got a skinny-wheeler to sell?

**Cornholio** · 05-12-2004, 01:13 PM

I'm looking to get back in the racing / triathalon scene, and, well, they tell me I need a bike.

52-54 cm, 300-500 dollar range, shifters on aerobar ends or STI a huge plus. Other plusses are wheels, gears, crankshafts and stuff.

Anyone know anyone who'll sell something like this?

A buddy of mine has a very clean 54cm Specialized Allez Epic for sale - carbon tubes with aluminum lugs. It's full Ultegra, but it's a seven speed. Nice updates include a Kestral carbon fork; new(er?) stem, headset, etc. He'll include aero-bars and a second set of wheels if you give him $600.

If you have any interest I'll have him take some photos and give me a complete parts list.

Damn, IG, that's a good deal. If I hadn't just bought a bike, I'd be all over that.

For $525 I can get you a Trek bonded carbon frame, full Dura Ace 8 Speed. No STI or aerobars, but this bike is in immaculate condition- looks like it's hardly been ridden.

Or for $350 an aluminum Schwinn, 105/RX100 mix, with STI. Both are 54 cm.

Plake and IG- I'm interested in both of those... any chance I could get some pictures and details on both of 'em?

Dude, IG's deal sounds killer.

CH- I'll get you pics and details this weekend.

I will ask my friend to send you photos and a component list ASAP.

Thanks doods.

DT shifting is really easy to change to bar-end.

If you can find a set of Scott DH bars and a Flite control center you can even move the existing levers onto the bars for the cost of bars, a bit of housing and some cable.

Chris Kostman is shown riding these here.

(Today's trivia: the 1988 National Criterium championships were won on an Allez Epic)

Sorry, forgot to ask:

Could I see the Trek and the Allez also, please?

If anything like this comes up in 51cmx51- , could you let me know, also?

Thanks!
