FS 60cm Simple One and 61cm MUSA Homer

[Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles]

Couple of very special bikes up for sale here folks:

First up is a 60cm Simple One in green 

Frame measures:

58cm st c-c

58cm tt c-c

85cm standover

Cranks are 43/34

Rear hub has a dingle 17/19 FW on one side and 21 FW on the other.  You can use the large ring with the dingle and small ring with the 21.  Pretty cool set-up!!!

Suzue hubs, Atlas rims, 32H f&r, wheels built by Rich, Soma Shikoros 700x42

Does not come with saddle and light mount but does come with everything else (pedals, spurcycle bell, handlebar bag)

I can't remember the name of the handlebars but they're made by VO. Stem is a nitto technomic.  Rides butter smooth, a very cool bike, nice upright riding position.  Reach out with any questions or anything I missed. Paint is about right for a bike this age, small chips and scratches not dings/dents or issues.

$2,200 shipped conus with non-fee payment (paypal f&f, venmo, cashapp, zelle)  Paypal G&S also available but add 3%.

Next up is one of my grail bikes, an absolute sweetheart.

61cm Made in the USA Homer Hilsen

Measures:

59cm st c-c

58cm tt c-c

86cm standover

Custom french blue with braze on centerpulls and Compass brakes

This frame was built by Waterford.

Super upright zero offset Analog stem with Whisky drops.

Veloce 10 speed groupset.

40/30 rings on a VO crank

12/30 rear cassette

Compass barlow pass 700x38 tires

White Industries hubs, 99% sure they are dyad rims, 32H f&r

I had a hell of a time figuring out how to get rid of brake squeal in the rear.  I spend many many hours screwing with toe-in.  Then I thought the brakes were too powerful so I had a friend machine me a custom brake booster.  Then I tred lightly scoring the rim and pads....and then I read that the salmon pads that compass brakes come with sometimes squeal with certain rims.  Tested the rear with el cheapo black post brakes and presto, no more squeal.  I ordered new black pads for the rear but they're not set up perfect.  Might take a little time in the stand to get them 100%.

Full disclosure the local guy that built this wheelset got the dish wrong and it's a couple MM offset to the non-driveside.  There needs to be about 2mm shorter spokes on the driveside to fix the dish (or thread the existing spokes another 2mm).  I never noticed a difference, they stayed true and I never felt anything so I just got lazy and rode it as-is. 

Paint is approaching perfect on this one...maybe some small scratches here or there but otherwise very very nice.  Absolutely no dings or major issues.  Rides like an exotic super car yet has a comfortable riding position.  Plush and zippy.

Comes with everything pictured minus saddle.

$3,200 shipped conus with non-fee payment (paypal f&f, venmo, cashapp, zelle)  Paypal G&S also available but add 3%.

Combo deal for $5,200

That homer is BEAUTIFUL! 

[Matt Beecher]

Graham was looking for a Homer in this size and just posted a WTB.  I don't know if this sold, but if not, you might want to try and connect.  

TBH, I am maybe a little glad that I did not see the frameset posted, as I don't know if I could have resisted a Homer with centerpul braze-ons.  Beautiful.

Thanks!!
