For me, my good friend fell in love with my newly acquired Cannondale ST so I gifted it to him. So now I want to replace it.

If you are patient, I'll measure a couple I have left at home. Just sold my last 1984 Trek 620.

But not 650b? You can get real fatty tires on them smaller rims.

I was thinking about selling my 84' Fuji Touring. Nothing special, paint is okay, but rides very nicely.

Would a repainted Raleigh Pro with fender eyelets qualify? It is your size.

Hi Shawn, I have a Rocky Mountain Sherpa at the way back of my garage I'll pull it later today and get the specs, and take a pic. It has a sloped tt Reynolds 853 tubing 700c tires hand made in Vancouver BC, freaky solid, dual eyelets dropout and forks, with rack braze on screw mounts mid fork.

My Bilenky is up for grabs.
I have its replacement showing up in the spring, so this will be an extra.
$1,200 plus bikeflight's shipping.
Can throw in a Nitto Campee rear rack at that price and I'll also include a very nice Ostrich rando bag.
Will include new Compass tires.
edit: Matching Dyads at this point.

Yeah, I put a new chain on it. 1984 Klein Performance. 3x9 DA 7700 indexed shifters, Soma QR brake levers. DA 7700 FD and long-cage RD. RSX 170mm 46/36/26 compact triple. (I'd like to go with new FSA rings, but I'm too cheap to toss new rings from that crankset). VeloMax Circuit hoops, running 28's. Axiom rack and now has a front bag (Louis Garneau "Oxford") mounted. I have a Garmin Varia H/L (communicates w/Garmin bluetooth GPS) SSM Regal saddle, DA seat post. Cinelli steering. 55 C-T seat tube 56 C-C top tube. Extra eyelets on rear for fenders and eyelets on front for fender. Sorry, no braze-ons for front rack. Shimano AX600 calipers will not stop you in the rain going downhill under load (nutted, mid range needed). 6400 headset (sealed bearing).
Think about it at your own peril. Trades or sale, depending on the jarhead. May even deliver. I have a free week of vacation coming.

Winter is coming.
Bikes come flying from everyone.
I'd sell you something but the size is wrong.

got a 55cm all city space horse i'd sell you for 500 bucks. i would even install the original wheels which have almost no miles on them.
please note that all citys run a little big. also i have nothing but crappy pics, but i'll be happy to take a new one if you like. there are some nicks on the front fork from panniers and i would include the nashbar front rack that is on it. i also have an old black blackburn i could throw in.
