Xtracycle bike combo for sale (Schwinn cruiser w/ modifications) - $400

Hi folks,

I have a 4.5 year old Xtracycle bike combo for sale for $400.  The bike is a newer edition Schwinn cruiser (i.e. not the 1970s version) and the Xtracycle attachment is the 'classic' FreeRadical for 26" wheels.  The bike has the following features:

  • A newer wheel set (not original on the Schwinn) that can accommodate disc brakes.
  • Rear Avid/SRAM disc brake and brake lever.  I have a new set of brake pads that I'll throw in for free, in addition to an additional brake lever.  There is no front brake on the bike, but you could install one of these, with a set of nice brake shoes, for pretty cheap.
  • Cork grips (shellac'd for protection, though one is missing a chunk at the end).
  • Xtracycle 'Footsies' (detached in the pics I'm including here).
  • There's a short stem rigged up on the seat post where you can attach an additional set of handlebars for a 'backseat' rider.
  • There are locks on the wheels and seat post (the tool for unlocking them is obviously included too).  

In addition to the bike, I also have an unused two-leg Plestscher kickstand and an unused (but slightly dirty) pair of WTB Slickasaurus tires (not on the bike itself) that I can negotiate over, if you are interested.  

All things considered, this bike is great for shopping, picking up groceries (the panniers are designed to fit 4 grocery bags w/ ease), towing kiddos, or just cruising around.  It has served me well, but I need to move and I'm looking to minimize my stuff.  It shows a bit of wear from the miles I've put on it (scratches, dirt, some rust here and there, etc), but nothing out of the ordinary.

The bike is being stored in a space near the Bryn Mawr stop on the Red Line, and I'm currently between apartments, living in the West Loop, and relatively strapped for free time.  Consequently, please only contact me if you are a serious buyer. I need to sell this before Tuesday (6/19).

Pictures are below!  

Thanks, zack

Hey, I've been looking for one of these. Let me know how to get in touch with you and if my short self can fit on your bike, I'm very interested!

Hi Reba!  I sent you a message with my phone number, but my email is zackfurness@gmail.com

good idea on the extra cycle cruiser, if I had the dough to spare right now I'd def. consider it. 

No worries, Liz.  They are pretty great, though.  I've actually used this bike more than almost anything else since I moved to Chicago in 2007.  I've also had a lot of interesting conversations with folks as a result of it.
