For Sale: Leah’s Stuff

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

I have my Purple Pocket Platy frame here, waiting for its very unique parts to arrive. This bike was supposed to get parts I already own, but the vision has evolved. It went from a fun bike with some pops of color to….well, full 1980s My Little Pony. Remember when you were a little girl (ok, mostly the RivSisters will feel me here), and you played dress up, and there was a stash of princess dresses AND jewelry AND shoes AND tiaras AND wands? All for the taking? And there was no wrong answer so you WORE IT ALL? This bike is a version of that. So, what was a simple idea has become a complex idea, and it bore out in the purchasing of custom parts with lots of wild anodizing. You’ll have to see it to believe it. But you’ll wait another 6 weeks, because I’m pretty sure that’s how long it will take for them to arrive. 

Never one to have things in a “parts bin” I want to move along these treasures. Photos and descriptions coming in second post.

Thanks for looking,

Leah

First up, the offerings:

Now, onto the product descriptions:

1. Microshift shifters: I love these. Love the red. They are sold out on Riv’s website. Originally $60, you pay $40, plus shipping.

2. You can call it a crank/chainring but I call it my Shark Teeth. Buy my Shark Teeth! Riv sells these for $280. You can have this one for $180, plus shipping.

3. Brake Levers: Shimano DXR MX70: MSRP: $74, pay $50, plus shipping

4. Velo Orange Levers:

These have a gentle pink hue. They used to be anodized a rich raspberry but the sun faded them. If you want a little color but not a lot, these are a nice hint of pink. They are feather-light.  Originally $85, yours for $55, plus shipping.

5. Brooks B67: This was mounted only a brief time and got maybe 50 miles of riding. It looks pretty much mint. Retails for $170; yours for $125, plus shipping.

6. Deity Deftrap Pedals: These are just the best pedals. Inexpensive, so comfortable and I like the pop of color they give a bike, esp a blue bike. These retail for $58, but you can have them for $25, plus shipping.

7. V Brakes: Riv lists them for $20, but for you: FREE! Just pay the shipping.

Thanks for shopping at my store. 😉

Tempted on the pedals but those pins would eat my shins.

@Pam -

On my Clem I have the Lambda/ Monarch pedals with pedal extensions, all of which have pedal spikes. For me to protect my shins and my rain pants, I bought these:

I highly recommend them. I have had them for five months now. They work very well in protecting both my shins and pants.

I find that pedals like that look wicked but are not a hazard at all. At least I have never had any issues like I would with some MKS pedals (my bear traps are great looking but deadly). I haven't tried those specific pedals but they are similar to the Stamp pedals I love and I can't recommend them enough. Super grippy.

Pending payment on a couple of items, everything is sold except the Brooks saddle.

Anyone want a honey Brooks?
