What's up 650bers - I'm considering off-hauling my Trek Elance frameset. Cosmetically, it's a bit rough with a small dent on the top tube. I've attached a photo of the current build. Rides great!!! I can include the shifters, seat post, and Tektro brakes for $200 OBO. Bike clears 650x42 and 700x35.

Thanks!

Folks, this is a bargain... I converted mine and really liked the ride, despite it only fitting up to 38mm. But this frame appears to be a few years earlier edition and clears fatter tires. Highly recommend!

Hi again - bumping this post to gauge any (local) interest in this frameset plus extras...frameset, Tektro R559's, and seat post for $200 OBO. Otherwise, I can strip it down to just the frame. As previously mentioned, cosmetically rough, front dropouts are a bit rusty and could use attention, but overall a nice .

Regarding clearance, I had Compass BSP ultra lights on the bike which are badged at 42 but measure closer to 38-40mm. So clearance really is more like 700x32ish and 650bx38ish, FYI.
