Random items for sale

It’s that every-six-weeks tradition: stuff that got ordered and wasn’t wanted, or got the wrong item somehow (this has been happening a lot this year):

-Rockshox Reba Team 29er 120mm taper fork with 20mm maxle. This fork does NOT have a u-turn feature, and the lockout is NOT the remote model (so it’s got one, but the lever is on top of the left side of the crown). I got 2 of these, one for Tony and one for myself, and the distributor didn’t get us the U-turn models we wanted. Doh. Still a very nice fork, never used or installed. It’s a taper steerer, so it will only work with a frame compatible with a 1.5 lower bearing.

$475, shipping included in the US. OR, if you buy a custom frame to go with it, $350. What a deal – these retail for somewhere around $720!

-Custom WW 26″ rigid fork. I built this for Todd and put the lowrider bosses in not quite the right place. It’s 425mm axle-crown, 38mm rake, with v-brake bosses for a 26″ wheel. Uncut 14″ steerer tube, never installed or ridden. Glossy black. $100 including shipping. A great fork for a touring bike or a commuter – plenty of room (and mounting points) for racks and fenders. Beefy enough for a big person carrying front panniers (ie, no weight limit).

Drop me a line if you’re interested in either of those items.
