FS: Bleriot 55 complete $1000 plus shipping

[Valerie Yates]

I am interested in selling my size 55 Bleriot complete. It is a lovely bike to ride. I have the gearing set for steep dirt roads, at which it excels. It rides similar to a Soma San Marcos - very fluid - with a bit more tire clearance (42 v 38). 

I purchased the Bleriot from a list member in 2017. Our deal was for $1200 including shipping and minus saddle, stem, and handlebars. I am hoping to sell it for essentially the same price with a stem and handlebars included, along with a new freewheel. Sale price is $1,000 complete, including professional packing, plus actual charges for bike flights shipping. Shipping to be determined once packed and the ship-to address is known. I am open to offers if someone wants the frame minus specific components or for local pick-up in Boulder/Denver area. 

This bike has ample visible beausage - lots of scratches and dings -- without any serious damage.  The only trouble it has given me is that the rear brake hanger can get in the way of the seat bolt binder. I have to position it very carefully to make sure the seat post does not slip. 

Lots of pictures here.

Details:

Size 55 measured center to center (which is a good fit for my 82 pbh)

Saddle as pictured is 71 1/2 , measured diagonally from the center of the crank arm

Geometry chart

Velocity Synergy 650B 32h rims

Standover about 81 Fatty Rumpkin tires (great tires! plenty of life left in them)

Phil Wood rear hub

Campagnolo-Brev-Int headset

Phil Wood bottom bracket (according to previous owner)

Technomic stem 7

Nitto handlebars -- likely B136 Rando Touring Bar size 42 (very comfortable)

Sugino XD triple 48x36x24

Shimano Sora FD

7 speed freewheel (not a free hub / cassette) SunRun 14x34 (relatively new)

Paul Components center-pull brakes

Shimano XT RD

Tektro brake levers

Shimano bar-end shifters

Excluded items: saddle, pedals and tail-light

Bottle cages - optional (no charge either way)

Happy to answer any questions. 

Best,

That's a crazy good deal!  I'm not personally interested, but I also cannot access the photos.  

GLWS!

Thanks for the enthusiasm! Someone looking for a versatile bike and fun ride should have the chance to enjoy this  Bleriot.  I’ve read several posts about people regretting selling theirs, so I do have some hesitation around it. But I also am expecting a Charlie H Gallop demo (54) and want to make some room. 

I am new to Flickr. I think/hope the pics are now visible.

What a beautiful bike and a great deal. Just too far past the N+1 right now…
