FS: Black Mountain Cycles Road Plus 59cm

[ant ritchey]

Posted this FS awhile back with a few other frames. Price is staying the same but I'm throwing in some Nitto & Compass to maybe sweeten the deal. Due to COVID-19-related concerns I'm out of work for at least a few months and will soon need to pay the remainder on the Bantam Bicycle Works custom (insert emoji gritting teeth // making nervous face here).

I bought this direct from Mike Varley in August of 2018. It's the biggest one they make - 59cm, Aurora Red. It also happens to be the same size the designer, himself, rides so it was very cool to be able to discuss the build and concept over the phone with someone who knows this bicycle better than any other, and to be able to get the set up right for the rider on the top end of the height & fit. Steerer tube is uncut.

It's in excellent condition, definitely not even 1K miles on it. (Plenty of mud & dirt on the bike in the photos but cosmetic condition of this bike is near-pristine!) There will be way too much overlap with the Road Plus bike and the coming custom; so whereas I love this bike and it's super fun - I gotta move it along. All the info you need here on the BMC page: https://blackmtncycles.com/frames/road-plus/

A FEW SNAPS OF THE CURRENT BUILD

Current build includes: TRP drillium levers, Dura Ace bar end shifters, XT M737 derailleurs, Sugino Mighty compact double. Want a complete bike? Let's talk. Just want the f/f/hs & wheel set, no problem. Price can be arranged/negotiated for whatever it is that you're after. I'm flexible on how this one should get parted out/sold but I'd like to follow the build kit // "rolling chassis" format and include some extras; all of which was purchased new for the build.

BMC Road Plus rolling chassis & extras - $1,100 + shipping

-Frame, fork, VP headset

-HED Tomcat 650b x 32h wheel set

-Compass Switchback Hill tires; gum wall // standard casing & in great shape

-Nitto Noodle handle bars, 48cm

-Robert Axle Project (front) & DT Swiss (rear) thru axles

-Hayes CX Expert calipers & mount adapters

-160mm 6 bolt brake rotors

-Promax 400mm seat post & clamp

-2 different 26.0 clamp stems and spacers

-tandem road brake cable for the rear caliper

Ok, so what's missing here? Shifters, brake levers, cables/housing, bottom bracket, cranks, chain, cassette, saddle, pedals. I've got an almost-complete, near-NOS 105 group I can throw in for $100. 

Want fenders? I also have a a brand new set of silver SKS fenders for 650b X 48mm for another $50.

More pics? Just holler! This post is getting long and kinda convoluted and I'm sorry for that. Just wanna let ya know there's plenty of options. PM me, text or call - 724 757 9258. Thanks for lookin'!
