Pink bike wanted ad
"Others have sold on Pinkbike for between $4-450 (CDN) as complete bikes in excellent condition (judging by the pictures) so this seems a reasonable place to start. The MEC National seems like a comparable bike and I'd entertain one of those in the same size too.

I have seen that pink bike wanted add too. He sets the price between $450-500 CAD but I can't locate what he's referencing. The others on pink bike are 2011/2012 and not Reynolds 853. I'm 72 inches tall, so the bike fits perfectly as is, to going to ride it for a while to decide what to do with it. It has new tires, so the only thing I did was remove the chain and clean it and install new brake pads. Everything is stock, and it does not rattle or moan or squeak going over rough pavement. Eerie. Kind of like a 1st gen gravel bike. It can easily fit 55-55 mm wide tires on the 700 cc rims.
