FS: 57cm Bleriot plus extras

[justin...@gmail.com]

Made an impulse buy so this has gotta go ASAP!

57cm Bleriot F/F/HS
Paint is very good. Normal use scrapes on dropouts and drive side chain stay. Small, hardly noticeable ding in top tube. Can't get it to show up on camera!
Tange headset
Truvativ 113mm bb, sealed bearing. Almost 0 miles.
Berthoud 40mm fenders. Good condition but drilled for mudflaps already! Stay classy.
Dia-Compe center pulls. The long ones that Riv sold. Plus Kool Stop Salmon pads.
Vintage (90s) Deore LX derailleur
Dura-Ace front derailleur
Shimano bar end shifters with pods n stops.
Nitto Dynamic 10cm stem
Nitto 45 randonneur bars
Col de la vie tires
Shimano brake levers
Cheapie "Miyata" crankset with chain guard (no added cost!)

You'd need:
Seatpost
Cables
Chain
Wheel set
Chain
Cassette
Tubes

And some elbow grease and you'd be rolling!

In Philly. 800 local for the package. Package only!

800 + real shipping.

Can't ship until my "impulse" purchase SimpleOne gets here! That will be before ictober 11th I've been told.

Email me off list!

Hey there Brent -

Welcome to the group!

Just so you know the lineage - the Bleriot was a simplified version of the Saluki.   The Saluki was combined into the 650B/584 tire size end of the A. Homer Hilsen range, so those models are essentially the same as the Bleriot.

The 52 cm version of the Sam Hillborne would also use the set wheelsize, and be reasonably similar in approach.

Bleriots do show up from time to time used, of course. There is a history page here:

Hope that helps a bit!

  Justin -

       I just joined after finally figuring out the kind of bike I like is no longer made! I am selling my old Italian road bike so if your Bleriot is still for sale and it works out in time I would definitely be very interested. I hope to sell it soon of course.
