FS: 2020 "Show-Quality" Nobilette Complete Bike

[chrisr...@gmail.com]

Selling a pristine 55cm Mark Nobilette 650b randonneuring build that was completed last Fall, 2020, and used lightly for one season.  No expense spared on this build...it is truly a work of art.  There is a reason why Jan Heine of Rene Herse / Bicycle Quarterly gets his personal bikes built by Mark as he is truly a "master at his craft."

Asking $8,000, or best reasonable offer.  Pics to follow. Thanks for looking!

Sorry, that was my reply as necessary to append pics to my original ad that was evidently “too long” to be attached initially. 

Best,

Chris

$8000 bike and you're not even including fenders??!!

Just joking! Nice bike!

At this price though, maybe talk some more about the tubing (thickness, diameter, etc.; other than it's 853), and other frame dimensions (like chainstay length), max tire size, etc. Also, the pics you have don't show a RH stem.

[Chris Grigsby]

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll add some better pics and details tomorrow!  Fenders weren’t included as the rear one has a ding in it courtesy of my 5-year old.  Also I took them off because I live in Colorado and can count the times I’ve ridden in rain on one hand!  

Best,

Chris
