The For Sale Post

Updated as of Sep 12, 2025

Price don't include shipping from central Ohio. I'd be happy to get out of the house and meet someone a few hours from Central Ohio to make an exchange in person (for a bike or frame)

Surly Straggler 62cm SOLD

2025 Surly Straggler complete bike in excellent condition. The frameset and most of the parts have <100 miles. Kasei dyno hub with a Herrmans light. This is a Euro light with a really nice beam pattern and a cutoff so you’re not blinding oncoming traffic. Uncut steerer tube, good for tall guys. The saddle as shown is set at 32” from the bottom bracket as I ride it at 6’3”. 62cm or XL sized. Drivetrain is an S ride 9 speed 11-32 and an Origin 8 110bcd crank, 44t. Brakes are Bucklos mechanical. These are simple and work OK. Wheels are wide 700c Ukai rims and new Specialized Sawtooth 700c x 42mm tires. Some kind of On One swoopy handlebar, VP Vice pedals, and an old/classic Nashbar saddle.

Cotic BFE Max XL SOLD

This is a first gen (2020-2024) Cotic BFE max trail hardtail. Despite the “beefy” name, the Reynolds 853 steel has a nice feel to it. Size is XL. You can see geo details here: https://www.cotic.co.uk/product/BFeMAX_archive The fork is an X Fusion 29RC with 130mm of travel. Wheels are new WTB/Novatech boost with Schwalbe Magic Mary and Big Betty tires. The drivetrain is my favorite, Shimano Deore 10 speed (11-46) with an SLX 170mm crankset. The Deore gears are cheap, work well, and are lighter than 11 or 12 speed, and the SLX crank is the first to get hollow forged arms in Shimano’s lineup. The dropper is a PNW Coast with 125mm of travel and a bit of suspension travel. Just enough to take the edge off of bumps. And the lever is a made in the US Wolf Tooth. Brakes are Shimano MT-410 hydraulic discs. There’s a very small dent in the left hand seat stay and a few minor paint chips, otherwise in very good condition.

Bike Friday Crusoe 62cm SOLD

This is a rare folding bike that fits a big guy—it’s a 62cm/XL Bike Friday Crusoe. As shown, it’s set up for 6’3” me with a 32” seat height. It features the BF split H bars and a titanium seat mast—this has a lot of flex and really adds to the comfort of the bike. The drivetrain is a Microsoft Acolyte 8 speed 11-38. This is one of the few drivetrains that has a clutch, short cage, and a wide range. The crankset is a Litepro with a narrow wide chainring for better chain retention. Brakes are Yokozuna V brakes and Avid speed dial levers. The wheels are Shimano XT hubs and Sun CR18 rims. The tires are Tioga Fastr 406 x 1.6”. These are really supple BMX race tires. Also includes another pair of Schwalbe Marathon tires. I have too many tires. I really hesitated to put this up for sale, but I don’t really need two dark green Bike Fridays!

Rivendell Quickbeam 64cm SOLD

This is the original green Rivendell Quickbeam single/ two speed bike. I bought it used earlier this year on impulse, but too many bikes. The frame is straight and dent free, but the decals have rips and there are some nicks and scuffs on the frame that I tried to capture. The drivetrain is the stock Sugino 32/40/guard setup with 16 and 18 tooth freewheels. With the long dropouts, you can move the rear wheel around to change your gearing. All of the combos work, though the 40x18 is quite tight. The wheels are the stock QB wheels. Tires are Scwalbe Marathon Supremes, 700c x 37mm. The cockpit is all Nitto: Albatross cromo bar, Nitto stem, cork grips, and twined and shellacked bar tape. The seat post is also a Nitto, and the saddle is a Velo Orange microfiber touring. I think it’s a lot more comfortable saddle than a B17. The brakes are old Dia Compe 980s, but I also include the stock Shimano cantis in case you enjoy frustrating things. Also includes a Nitto bottle cage and a Zefal pump. The pedals are MKS Lamda / Grip King.
