The For Sale Post

Updated as of Mar 23, 2026

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)

Black Mountain Cycles Monstercross V5.6 (I think), 64cm, Frame/fork/WI headset SOLD

This is in excellent, like new condition. Uncut steerer tube. I have it assembled in case anyone local wants to test ride it, but I'm really only interested in selling the frameset.

Shown is set up for 6'3" me with a 32" seat height.

The headset (included) in a very nice White Industries, made in the US.

Bike Friday New World Tourist / Silk, size 60cm, $750 OBO.

This is an unusual BF for two reasons:

- it's big, sized for someone 6'+, unlike most folders, and

- it folds so the bottom bracket pivots with the rear triangle, so the chain stays on, unlike most Bike Fridays. This means you can also make it into a fixed gear Bike Friday! With another rear wheel.

Excellent condition except for a few paint chips here and there.

Shown set up for 6'3" me, 32" seat height, though I used a shorter stem. But I'm keeping my Redshift stem.

Lots of tire clearance, probably good for a 2.2" or so. I like V brakes for folding bikes because they deal with getting knocked around better than discs.

AT-2 style handlebars, but these are NOT splittable. They're just regular bars.

I find this old Bontrager seat pretty comfy, but I'm all about Charge Spoon saddles these days. Rare silver suspension seat post.

Basic Shimano nine speed drivetain with a Litepro 1x crank.

Nearly new rear tire.

Here's the magic of the rear end. Normal BF fold behind the bottom bracket, and the chain comes off every time you unfold it. This is frustrating, but this design solves that 95% of the time.

This part of the frame has a history you can read about here.

The wheels are generic 20"/ 406 rims, but I find pretty much anything is strong enough for this small size.

Folded

The rear dropouts are a swinging style, so the chainstay length can be adjusted for a fixed gear, IGH, etc. I also have a drive side dropout without a derailleur hanger for that clean look, if you run single speed.
