The Chainlink

FS - too many parts to list - frames, brakes, boots, clothes, saddles, etc.

Sorry to post a link to my Craigslist add, but it honestly took me the entire afternoon to photograph and post all of this stuff. Within reason I can deliver some of this stuff. If you can make it over to the lakefront path, I can throw most of this stuff in a bag and meet you after I get off work. Same goes for the two bike frames. If you are positive you want to buy one of them I will meet you on the LFT with it on my cargo bike. Willing to negotiate on pretty much all of this stuff, or if you want to take it all off my hands I'm willing to do some kind of deal for all of it. Text of the ad is here - go to the C-list ad for the photos.

For sale - numerous bike parts from my stash. Lots of stuff has some miles on it but not very much for most of it. Things that are new may have been installed but not ridden. Descriptions will be next to each item with price. I'll continue to update the ad as things are sold. If it's marked out as "SOLD" I no longer have it. I will not deliver any of these items - they're local pick up only, unless you want to pay extra for shipping. In that case shipping will take longer as I don't have boxes laying around and will have to find suitable boxes for shipping. Cash only, unless you want it shipped in which I will consider PayPal or Postal Money Order - no checks. Not all items listed have pictures. If something is listed but there's no pic and you want, I can email it. 

Blackburn Outpost Fatbike rear rack. $80 - Used. Compatible with dropout spacing from 170mm to 190mm - can either be mounted to frame eyelets or using included skewer in place of rear wheel hub skewer. Has some marks on the rack frame from trying it out on a couple different fatbikes I've had. Geometry was too funky on both of my bikes for the rack to work that well, so I'm selling it. Sells new for $119.

Blackburn Outpost Front rack. $60 - Used. Designed to mount to cantilever brake posts but could be adapted to a disc-only bike using rubber-coated P-clips. For standard 100mm hub width front forks. I had it mounted to a Yuba Mundo as a front rack. Painted with black epoxy paint to match the bike frame because I didn't like the bronze color of the stock rack. Sells new for $99.

Bern Alston helmet, Large $40 - New. Still has tags and original box. Doesn't fit my giant head and I kept it too long before trying to send it back. Compatible with all Bern lining options. Would be a great winter helmet with their winter liner but is also more ventilated than their other designs, so probably fairly cool in summer - wouldn't know though as I never really wore it. I've seen them for sale anywhere from $50 - $99, although the higher price seems to be the norm. 

WTB Speed Comp saddles - Used (ridden once) $20 New $30. Regular price $39.

Terry Men's Fly Gel saddle cro-moly rails - Used (ridden once) $50. Regular $88

Selle AnAtomica NSX Leather saddle (no cutout) w/ Saddle Sauce $80 - New. Installed but never ridden. Didn't like the feel. Regular $130

Rido 'R2' saddle $40 - New. Funky saddle design from an English company - not available here in the U.S. - only through direct order from the company. Sells new for $51 plus whatever you pay for shipping from England. 

Ritchey Biomax cyclocross handlebars for 26mm stem clamp - 46mm width - Both used - scratched up $20, nicer looking one $30. No idea what these go for now. Been outta production for a few years. Nice CX bar or good for a touring bike which is what I used them on.

"Butterfly" Trekking bars - three sets, all new, momentarily installed but never ridden. I have no idea why I acquired so many of these bars. I don't like 'em, but lots of touring folks seem to love them. Probably good for something like a Surly LHT or similar bike. One with experimental "aero" extensions in the form of bar-ends. Seemed like it would work but like I said, I never actually rode with it. "Aero" $30, other two are $20 each. No idea what they sell for these days, probably $20. Make me a deal and take them all! Weird bars for ALL your bikes!

Tektro R559 long reach center mount rim brake calipers $20 - New. 55-73mm range - cartridge type pads for easy replacement. These are good for funky frames where you're using rims that aren't necessarily what was originally specced on the bike. $20

Tektro drop bar brake levers - for normal "short pull" cantis and caliper brakes. $10 - Used. Some scratches on the lever tips.

Cane Creek Drop V levers - for "long reach" V-brakes and mechanical disc brakes like Avid BB7. $10 - Used. Some scratches on lever tips. 

Tektro Drop V levers - for "long reach" V-brakes and mechanical disc brakes like Avid BB7. $20 - New, never used, never installed - actually same exact lever as the Cane Creek, just branded differently.

Tektro RL 720 interrupter levers for CX bikes. $10 - Used. Also for any road bike with drop bars where you want braking on the flats. They actually work really well - much better than those crappy Turkey-legs you find on crappy old 70s/80s road bikes. 

Revelate Designs Gas Tank top tube bag. $30 - Used briefly - no signs of wear - looks pristine. 

Lone Peak top tube bag. $15 - Used briefly also - no signs of wear - looks pristine. 

1994 Specialized Stumpjumper Pro Tange Prestige cro-moly frame 18" $100 - Used, loved, ridden. Nicks in paint, some scuffs, but no dents or cracks. Will take 26x2.35 tires. Has a Shimano UN55 bottom bracket still in good shape and newly installed Velo Orange headset. It was really too small for me back in the day and I just don't ride mountain bikes anymore. A rebuild that never happened. Probably good for a nice retro ride build though. Has something that jingles inside the frame somewhere - probably leftover from when the frame was welded. New Kona fatbike frame has a similar jingle in it. Never seemed to be a problem with either bike. Can't tell what tube it's in, never really tried that hard to get it out either. Can't hear it when you ride, only when you pick the frame up and move it around. Full disclosure, yo. 

Xtracycle Radish frame $100 - Used. This is a weird one. I used this with a FreeRadical to make a dropbar longtail cargo bike. It was pretty funky, but I didn't like how the frame flexed when you really loaded it down with cargo. Also it sucked with drop bars - worst idea ever for a cargo bike. Painted with rattle can automotive spray paint over the original ugly cream colored powder coat. It's an *okay* paint job but has a run in one spot and a crinkly bit in another. Not that obvious. Sort of a champagne color. This is only meant to be hooked up to a FreeRadical, or now that Xtracycle has released their new version of the FreeRad, called "Leap." The "Leap" is supposed to be stiffer than the old FreeRad, so maybe this could get new life as another Xtracycle. There are NO rear brake bosses or mounts. If you wanted some weird bike made out of this you'd need to go brake-less single speed or something. Canti bosses on the front fork. No clue of the size of the frame - probably 18" or thereabouts. The step-through was real nice though. 26" tires only. I used 26x2.0 - no idea if anything larger would fit.

Velocity Dually 29er rim. $50 - Used briefly - tried these out with a set of tires for a tubeless setup. Could never get the tires to seat properly and don't know if it was the tires or the tubes. Used Orange Seal for the sealant so no issues with any rim corrosion, even though I only rode with this laced up for a few days before switching to trying some different rims. If you're patient enough, apparently these will seat with Gorilla tape. I tried it but couldn't get it to work. Maybe your luck will be better than mine. 

Vee Trax Fatty 29x3.0 120 TPI tubeless ready tire. $30 - Used this with the Velocity Dually. Has some traces of sealant on the carcass of the tire, but only probably about 40 miles on this tire all told. 

Surly Knard 26x3.0 120 TPI. $100/pair - Used. Supposedly you can run these tubeless if you go ghetto tubeless. Never tried it, just ran them with tubes, rode 'em maybe 20 miles. Since they were going on a cargo bike it was mostly street riding and they felt a little rough to me on pavement. Probably a totally boss tire for a bikepacking rig though. Regularly $90 each. Pretty much a steal for a pair of tires with literally one ride on them.

Tektro Novela disc brakes with levers and rotors $50 - New. Never used. Took off an bike that I was putting BB7s on. Also some miscellaneous brake housing - may or may not work for you but it seemed a waste to just throw it out. Rotors are 160mm.

Avid HS-1 rotors 160mm/180mm - $30/pair - Used briefly on a cargo bike. 

Avid Centerline rotors 160mm/180mm - $40/pair - Used briefly on same cargo bike - quieter than HS-1 but not by much. Curse of BB7 apparently. At least folks can hear you coming and get out of the way. 

Avid BB7 brakes with Speed Dial Levers - $80 for the set - Used but in really good shape. Calipers are pretty clean and lots of life left in the pads. 

Ergon GC1 Bio-cork grips for use with Rohloff/Nexus/Nuvinci shifters. $30 - New. Installed but didn't use - switched out my Nuvinci hub for an Alfine 8 - used a different type of shifter - kept these too long so I couldn't send them back for a refund. 

Crank Brothers Candy pedals. Three pair, buy them all - $40 - Used - top pair in photo needs rebuilding but the others, especially the black and red pair are in good shape. Top two pair are composite body, black and red is metal body.

Crank Brothers Mallet 2 pedals - $60 - Used for about a month on my commuter before I switched to platform pedals. I don't do clipless anymore. New these are $99.

Louis Garneau winter boots size 48 - $40 - Used. Wore these a handful of times about three or four years ago. Bought them too small for my feet and they ended up sitting in the closet collecting dust. 45North Aerogel insoles were an upgrade from the orignal insoles which are long gone. The neoprene uppers seem kinda fragile and there's some cracking/fraying of the material. They fit too tight for me so I can't really be a judge of how cold you can go wearing them. Seemed like they were fine into the 30F range or so. I wear size 11 - 11 1/2 though, so take that into account. If you're size 10 or smaller you can probably wear a couple pairs of socks and be pretty warm. 

Surly Disc Trucker 26" fork - $60 - Used but in great shape. Nice lugged fork with braze-ons for attaching front racks and fender. Steerer tube is 280mm long 1 1/8" threadless. 

Ortlieb backpack thingamajigger. $50 - Used. Don't remember what this is called but it allows you to carry I think any Ortlieb pannier in backpack form. Great for multi-modal commuters. I used it a couple times but just don't much use for it. Apparently regularly sells for $80+

Showers Pass Crossover Jacket, Large $40 - Used. I didn't like the attached hood so I didn't wear it much when commuting. Bought a different brand of jacket with stowable hood and this is now surplus. Jacket is in great shape, has pit zips, reflective trim, and no rips or tears. 

Gusset Lofty seatpost, 27.2mm x 420mm - $20 Used - works great with Radish frame, or buy it to use as a club for those full-contact bike polo matches.

Are the Duallys a pair?

Just a single rim. I blew one up using a compressor to try to seat the tires. Probably *never* going to sell just a *single* rim.
