I’m putting my glorious Susie up for sale.  I have loved riding this bike, but as someone at the top end of the suggested Susie weight range, I have decided to move up to a Gus so that I can add racks and load the thing up for more adventuring with a little more peace of mind.  I was able to secure a large Gus (in mermaid!) in the presale this week, so I’m going to pass this incredible bike along to a new owner.  The bike is in great shape.  I am the second owner, but it was lovingly maintained by me and the previous owner.  It has been ridden and had racks installed, so it has a couple of nicks and rubbed spots in the paint from bags (shown in the photos), but no crashes, no dents, no problems.

I’m offering three options on this sale: 

  • Option 1: Frame / Fork / Headset / Bottom Bracket for $1650
  • Option 2: All of the above plus all of the following for $2100
            -Cliffhanger / Shimano LX Wheelset (32h/700c), used and in great shape - $350
            -Vittoria __________ 29x2.1 tires, new, but have been mounted - $50
            -Riv seatpost - $0
            -Discord W(Right) Stem, 50mm 31.8 clamp - $125
           -Jones H-Bar Bend, lightly used - $50
  • Option 3: F/F/H/BB plus any of the components listed above at $1650 plus the price listed next to each component.  

I’m in the SF Bay Area and would prefer a local-ish sale but am willing to discuss shipping.  Shipping is an additional cost to the prices listed above.   The parts are not currently for sale separately, but I’m happy to sell those after I’ve completed the bike transaction, so let me know if you are interested.  

Feel free to message me directly with inquiries!

I’d have jumped on this if it was listed before the pre sale! Haha. I’m sure it won’t last long. Good luck with the Gus!

I was really tempted to make you an offer, but wasn't positive I would land a Gus! Let me know if you want to cancel your order and take this lovely orange bike instead.  :) 

To answer a couple of questions that have come through: 
  • I have an 87.5 PBH.  My saddle height is 75-76cm.  My legs are long for my height, so I've been running this with a 30mm extension Discord stem and a Tumbleweed Persuader bar.  I initially set it up with a 50mm stem and a Jones bar with more backsweep (shown in the photos).  The reach was great in both configurations.  I tried a Bosco but prefer less angle for off-road riding and tried my nitto bullmoose, but didn't like the forward extension.    
  • I do have other components available, but no brakes or cranksets at this time.  I have a variety of 9-speed cassettes, some good derailleurs, and SunRace thumbshifters. Happy to send along details.     
I'm going to be posting this on Craiglist later today, but wanted to give the list members the first shot at it!  Let me know if you are interested.

Hadn’t even thought of canceling my order… I guess it wouldn’t be putting them out since it would sell quickly. Hmmm. Guess I’d have to be sure I could cancel it!

You can, but Riv recently initiated a 10% "restocking fee" to discourage that. That was back in August, so not sure that is still the case.

And I’m certainly not encouraging it!

Sorry to hear it fell through! Someone is getting lucky with that color. I told Riv it sold and committed to waiting as patiently as possible for mine. Good luck with the sale!
