Hi Rando friends,

My wife and I are clearing out our house to prepare for a large renovation, and I have a couple bikes and some kit that I'm happy to give away.  I thought I'd offer it to anyone on the NER mail list.   My hope is this goes to some rando or friend who will use it for themselves, their family, or a close friend.   It's fine if it's a second, fifth, or even 10th bike.   

Bikes:
- 70s era Raleigh Grand Prix -- original paint, saddle, cellophane bar tape, and (unusable rubber).   It's a classic, and I bought it from the brother of the original owner a few years ago for like $200.  This was going to be built as my Eroica bike, but then I was fortunate enough to get a great Richard Sachs from that era.
- Ladies carbon Roubaix Elite from about 2010, for someone about 5'4".  I think it has an Ultegra triple on it.   Pretty lightly used.

3 pairs of lightly used MTB style cycling shoes, from two years ago when I was on the quest for the perfect shoe (eventually settled on Shimano S-Phyre).   

- Giro Vector 45.5 EU - I think I had one ride on these, slightly too small for me
- Specialized Recon 3 46 EU -- These fit pretty well and I had a dozen rides, but on a 300k the tongue was biting into my ankle so I abandoned them.
- 2FD "street" shoes -- Never ridden! I thought I might use these in the gym as they have a slightly flex sole.   But, I like my S-Phyre too much!

Ping me if you would like any of the above.  It's easy for me to meet in Carlisle or Burlington, MA.  Email is best but happy to talk or text if you like -- PM me at st...@cuginismith.com

- Steve

The Raleigh has been claimed.  And Tsun sent a good suggestion to donate to Bikes not Bombs, so if the Specialized doesn’t get any interest that’s what I will do!
