Bike Friday friends:
I'm selling an extra small New World Tourist. This bike has a ~50cm virtual top tube. The color is Super Grape Purple, a rich mid-purple. This bike has a 3X7 drivetrain (3-speed Sachs rear hub + 7-speed Shimano cluster) and v brakes. It also has a Softride suspension stem that does a good job in damping the shock from riding over bumps. The handlebar is a split-apart Bike Friday H bar.
The Good
This bike has been stored most of its life and is in very clean condition. There is very little wear and everything gleams. The drivetrain is smooth* and the brakes stop the bike quickly. The paint is deep and even and glistens. There is no rust or oxidation anywhere.
*The Bad
The 3-speed Sachs rear hub frequently sticks when going from the lighter gear to the middle one. All other gears are fine. Cosmetically, there is the odd light mark here and there, nothing of note. The most obvious is the scratch to the Bike Friday stick on the non-drive side.
Shipping
I’m planning to ship this bike folded and packed into an older Samsonite Oyster suitcase from one of our other Bike Fridays. It won’t come with the BF-made felt and vinyl, but I’ll be sure to pack it like I do when we take our bikes overseas. This bag has a few bumps and bruises from travel but is fully functional. For practical purposes, I prefer not to ship outside of the USA. I am in Seattle and anyone local is most welcome to a test ride.
