58 X 56.5 or 57 c-c, with sloping tt and high head and steerer. My ideal level tt size is 60 X 56-57.

Price is $750 shipped CONUS.

I am selling frame, fork (no headset), integrated racks (there are front lowriders to match), fenders (VO 50 mm), extra fenders (new no package Berthoud 650B 40 mm), and if you want it, a well used but still bearing-smooth Surly fixed/free 130 mm OL hub. 

***Also!!*** As-new ~40 mm Berthoud ss fenders with stays. frameset comes with VO 45 mm hammered fenders, but these in addition if buyer wants them.

 

Note:

1. I am selling the package; will not part out.

2. Sorry, the brake calipers **are not included.**

3. The frame had threaded fender bosses under rear bridge and crown; I stripped those so that the rear fender uses the usual sheet metal clamp, and the front uses a daruma. (I cut off the formerly-threaded fork crown plate to install the daruma.)

4. The seatstay bridge is a wee bit too low for perfect fender line, as you can see from the photo, but it will accommodate 1.35mm Kojaks on 21 mm outside rimes underneath with enough clearance to leave my conscience free.

5. I cut ~4 mm off the ends of the long rear dropouts to make axle entry and egress easier; you can see the primer in the photo.

6. The racks and frame have dyno lighting wire guides but designed for SON DeLuxe and Edeluxe 1. Wire runs from hub up inside left fender/lowrider arch strut to lamp which bolts to bracket at top of arch; tail light wire runs back down strut to dropout, then up fork leg in guide where it has to wind around brake cable to access guides along top tube; thence to guides on right seatstay down to rack where it disappears into rack tube only to emerge at the rear of rack for attachment to the tail light.

7. Note these well:

*** getting 2 wires up and down the arch/strut is a royal pain!** But I did it and so can you. It looks nice and need. Or run up on outside with zip ties, what do I care?

** the holes in the arch and rack struts are just holes: no grommets or finessing, just holes. But in x thousand -- 6? 8? -- miles including many bumps my wires were never cut or compromised.

Upon initial assembly, frame, fork (forget if I subsequently cut the steerer. but don't worry, it's long enough, along with sloping tt and raised head tube) to get bar high) and Ultegra headset (*not included*) weighed 7 lb. 

This is a stout frame and the stoutness -- more stout than the 1999 Joe Starck which was its model -- made it "bog*" for me -- unlike the 1999. But I doubt it's stiffer than a Ram, certainly less so than a Sam.

* "bogging" is the diametrical opposite of "planing."

That seems like a reasonable price just to hang on the wall as art. Plus it has history as an OG iBOB bike. If we had a museum, this would be in it, with pictures of Patrick’s other bikes.

If it's an objet d'art, it's gonna cost $1,500. Framing extra.

Looking at the photos again -- my daughter took them, who has both an aesthetic eye and a photographic competence that I lack -- the background seems almost "English-cottage-ly" lush. Not quite; end of dry season, xeriscaped yard; only, trumpet vine thrives even here in the glaring sun and 100* temps.
