FS: Two Tandems and Jacquie's First Mountain Bike

[Corwin]

Posting for Jacquie and Charlie...

Jacquie and Charlie have a few bikes to sell:

1) WS Samson Tandem;   
A fillet brazed Reynolds 531 frame. The Samson wears Mafac wide profile cantilever brakes, drop bars with Shimano brifters and a Shimano Deore derailer. Captain's seat post is 57cm and stoker's seat post is 53cm. This bike can easily accommodate wider rubber than it is currently wearing. Asking $1200.

2) No Name Tandem;
This is also a fillet brazed steel frame. The frame was originally set up for cantilever brakes, but currently wears Shimano dual pivot sidepulls. Rear derailer is an older Shimano Deore. Note the neat elbow cable guide below the stem. Captain's seat post is 57 cm and stoker's seat post is 41cm, measured center-to-center. This bike will also easily accommodate wider rubber than it is currently wearing. Asking $600

3) Jacquie's First Mountain Bike
This is a vintage Raleigh Sprite. Sports a Brooks B72 saddle (leather is rather firm), five cogs in back, a steel cottered crankset, rear rack and a front basket. The seat post is 53.5cm measured center-to-center. Asking $300.

Jacquie would prefer the bikes find homes locally, but is open to having any or all of them boxed and shipped provided the buyer pays for boxing and shipping. If you are interested in any of the bikes, please contact Jacquie (jacquie "at" batnet.com) directly.

I have uploaded several photos here. Let me know if you want more photos; if so - specifically what you want to see.

Thanks,

Corwin

There's a mistake in this post. Seat tubes were measured center-to-top. Not center-to-center.

Thanks,

Today I realized there is some skepticism the Raleigh is really Jacquie's first mountain bike. It may not be clear from the photo - but that bike is equipped with a derailleur and a freewheel with five cogs. I admit it's a lot of bike to haul over hill and dale. But Jacquie tells me she did in fact ride it regularly from her lodgings in San Francisco to the trails of Marin on a regular basis. I don't know if Jacquie ever competed on this bike - but I'm sure she was much stronger having trained on this bike.

If there is any interest at all (especially local interest), I suggest you make Jacquie an offer.

Jacquie told me to cut the prices in half. So - $600 for the Samson, $300 for the No Name and $150 for her first mountain bike. If those numbers are out of line, or you can use one of the bikes, but cannot afford the price - I urge you to make an offer.

Thanks,

Corwin
