FOR SALE: BF pakiT, GATES drive, ALFINE 11 speed hub, plus Backpack $1500 + shipping

[John Phillips]

FOR SALE: $1500 my lightly-used Bike Friday pakiT, including BF backpack specially designed for the bike. I bought it a little over two years ago, specially built for me, during BF’s Kickstarter campaign for this great bike. I am 5’11” tall and the bike fits perfectly. It has been test-ridden by relatives and friends from 5’6” - 6’1, all of whom were easily fitted comfortably to the bike. I intended to travel in Europe with the pakiT when I bought it, but am not able to do so. I HAVE used it happily for many recent trailer camping trips in the USA, as it fits easily into the back of my truck with all our other gear. I am very pleased with the quality and capability of this bike, but it is not being used and would like a good new home. A previous sale fell through, thus this advert. The belt drive and internal-geared hub are expensive but wonderful options on a new pakiT, and available reasonably on my bike. NOTE: There is a small blemish on the Bike Friday sticker on the frame, caused undoubtedly by my foot as I stepped over the frame. A new sticker could easily be applied if you like, there is no paint damage. Start YOUR 2020 travel adventures with this cool bike and pack! 

(BTW my bike is mildly famous from an assembly video, and a helmet review I posted on YouTube. Who knew anyone would watch this stuff?! )

Hi Gary, 

I'm thinking that this Pakit may be a bit to long for me.  I'll try to find something closer to my size 52-54.
