FS: a frame that is subsidizing my purchase of a Roadeo

[Forrest]

Okay, this is a posting to sell a non-RBW frame set (plus extras), but the Riv-related part is that sale of this frame set is helping to subsidize my recent purchase of a Roadeo frame. And this Salsa La Cruz Ti frame was built up with lots of parts acquired from RBW, and the thing is in the spirit of practicality and flexibility (will take fenders, will take tires up to 38mm, can be used for multiple purposes). And I still do see some frames and bikes sold on this list that are not RBW.

Salsa La Cruz Ti (58cm) frame and fork. Fork is Salsa's cyclocross steel fork. Extras included are: 

-- Headset

-- Nice Shimano front derailer (works well with compact double)

-- Tektro CR720 cantilever brakes

Photos here, including a couple of the bike built up and with bags on it:

Salsa has some archived info here: http://salsacycles.com/bikes/la_cruz_ti_2011/

Salsa no longer makes this frame. They were $1,900 when new (without the extras I am including). You can find new ones online now for $1,800, I think. I am the second owner of this frame, but I don't think it can be more than 2.5 years old max. I have had it for 8 or 9 months and put several hundred miles on it. I am selling it not because I didn't like it (I really did) but because of my rigid personal rule of owning no more than two bikes at a time.

Asking $1,250, which will include professional packing and shipping to CONUSA.

I can't use my PayPal account right now (working through some security issues) but might have that resolved soon. Otherwise we could work something out on payment. I have bought and sold a lot of stuff on this list over the years, and I think I have a pretty good reputation for fair dealing.

Happy to try to answer questions off-list. Thanks.

I'm reducing the price on this to $1,100 (down from $1,250). 

Deal includes Salsa La Cruz Ti (titanium) 58 cm frame, Salsa cyclocross steel fork, Cane Creek Aheadset, Shimano Ultegra front derailer, Tektro CR720 brakes, AND free shipping in/to the Lower 48. Oh, and I can now take PayPal payment.
