FS Norther--Lyon Randonneur
Evan Estern
Norther Cycles and Jeff Lyon collaboration from 2019. I ordered this one unpainted, and had Peter Weigle wet paint it for me. The bike is set up so it can be disassembled Rinko style, although the rear fender has not been cut.
All consumable parts are near new or well within spec. Paint looks great, but has patina from use and age. It shifts perfectly and is a dream to ride. It’s so dialed in and perfectly set up, I can’t bring myself to part it out.
$3,000 plus shipping or arrange to pick up locally—Bike is in NW Connecticut, and I divide my time between NJ, NY and CT, so could potentially meet 1/2 way or deliver.
