The combination of two big Rivendell Purchases (one Appaloosa and one HubbaHubbaH tandem) has put me into an urgent storage situation. I need to make two or three bikes go away. Up for sale is my Clemmish bike that the Appaloosa has pushed into redundancy.
It is a 22" frame size (56cm) 1987 Schwinn Paramountain. I purchased it on eBay for $400. I overhauled it and set it up with a Bosco Bullmoose handlebar, and used it as a commute/camping bike for a while. I then re-overhauled it, and took the frame to Ed Litton for some useful braze ons for racks and fenders. I intended to go get it powdercoated, but I've decided to skip that step and let you do it. Here's a shot of the whole bike:
I'm resigned to the notion that I can't get out of it anywhere near what I have into it, so I'm just going to part out a few subsystems and absorb the rest into inventory. Here's what is for sale:
1. Bosco Bullmoose Handlebars. 58cm. $115 shipped. $100 local pickup
2. Frame + Fork + Headset + Seatpost + Suntour Rollercam brakes + Brakelevers. $150 shipped. $130 local pickup
3. Velo Orange Stainless Steel 26" x 60mm fenders. $40 shipped. $30 local pickup
4. Ruthworks Custom Framebag. $80 shipped
5. Wheelset #1. Bontrager Rims (32h, black with machined sidewalls + eyelets). SP Dynamo front hub. Ultegra 6600 rear hub (130mm). DT 14/15 spokes, brass nipples. No Skewers. $200 shipped. $180 local pickup. this wheelset is not in the picture of the complete bike.
6. Wheelset #2. Araya RM-25 rims (36h). Unusual Fisher branded sealed bearing hubs (freewheel rear). 100/130 OLD. $100 shipped. $80 local pickup.
Let me know if any of this interests you. Wheelset #1 I think is a great setup for anybody wanting to convert their 80s MTB to a Rat Trap Pass dynamo bike. If I can bundle some things together and make you a deal, I'll be happy to try to do that for you.
