I’m considering selling my Susie…

[Ryan Frahm]

I want to say first off that I really love this bike! I ended up picking up a Clem H to use as my commuter so that the Susie wouldn’t get as beat up. Turns out, I like the Clem almost as much in reality. I was hoping to get an idea of what might be a fair price so I wanted to list the build and see. I’m not 100% sure I want to sell but I’m leaning that way. 

Last run of the Susie, I got the frame in April size Large, Dark Gold 29” wheels.

Sugar Wheelworks build SimWorks Standalone (Cliffhanger) wheels with CX-Ray spokes, White Industries MI5 rear hub and Son 28 up front. These wheels have less than 50 miles on them. 

The pictures show Rene Herse Fleecer Ridge tires but I’d plan to put the Ehline 2.5” back on. They have not quite 500 miles on them. Tubeless with Orange Seal. 

Rivendell 2 piece crankset 32/22 some scratches near the spindle drive side but otherwise like new. New Race Face BB. 

Nitto S65 seatpost. 

MKS Bear Trap pedals. Scratched cages but still good shape. 

Tosco 65cm with 135mm FacePlater stem. 

Paul Components Love Lever 2.5 with Shimano DXR brakes. 

Jim 7 speed cassette 13-42 with Sram GX 10 speed derailleur and Silver shifter. KMC 10 speed EBike chain rated for 4500 miles. Works great with lots of low range. Manual shift up front but the 22t is really just a bail out if it gets really steep. 

I plan to keep the rear rack, Edeluxe light and saddle. I also have new grips I just haven’t put on. Small chip inside the chainstay close to the front of the tire. Like I said, just trying to get an idea on price. I would hope to get somewhere close to $4000+ shipping. Is that close or crazy! Haha. Picture to follow. PM if there is any interest but I’m definitely still thinking. Thanks everyone!

Beautiful build!  $4000 is not out of the question if you find the right buyer.  My first thought was $3500-3600 as what I'd want to pay - but doesn't hurt to start higher especially if you're not motivated to sell.  

I think you should keep it and ride the beans out of it :)

Thanks Jason! That’s kinda what I was thinking and I don’t “need” to sell. 

I might still keep it. I’m just considering a Tumbleweed Prospector because I think it would make for safer winter commuting pulling my daughter. But maybe I just need better studded tires on the commuter.
