2018 Pocket Rocket For Sale

[Jim Goodin]

Hello Yak community!  I checked in a few months back about selling my 2018 Pocket Rocket.  I have decided to do that.  My asking is $1,000 or best offer plus shipping.  Pictures and my original design spec are attached.  With exception to the disc brakes, tires, cassette and bar tape, the latter 3 replaced from use, everything else on the bike is as per the design build spec.  Color is sugar plum purple.

Regarding the disc brakes.  I did not know a lot about disc brakes when I began the build process with Bike Friday sales.  The original bike had single pull braking calipers and were either never quite right or just limited.  I had the disc brakes replaced the following year with TRP Spyre's which were dual calipers and much improved.

The MKS pedals are quick release.

The bike by my guestimate has btwn 3-4000 miles on it which were some work commuting miles and annual national ride events with the diabetes charity organization, originally JDRF now known by Breakthrough.  I saw a Bike Friday at my first JDRF ride in 2014 and went what's that!  Thought it was coolest thing ever and began the path to getting one.  The fact that it came with it's suitcase and met flying standard luggage (was the case from 2014-19, not sure now but it comes in around 45+ lbs) was an attraction for me at that time.

The bike has always been kept inside and has been pretty well cared for.

I used the bike regularly through 2022 but during that time which was just out of the pandemic, I emotionally sort of fell off.  I had the bike folded and packed away until I retired last year.  I put it together and road it again to reevaluate my feelings.  My NYC world just seemed too dangerous for me between cars and the growing world of e-bike traffic.  I have debated about selling it but have decided it makes sense and worse case, will get another or something if I change later.

That's about it, happy to take questions.

Regards,

Jim

I wanted to let the list know that I decided not to sell my bike.  I didn't receive much interest in global or local through another liisting, decided I had some unresolved attachment and have recently been gettin reacquainted, riding it again.  Regards all, Jim
