WTB: parts for Proteus project road bike

[Lesli Larson]

I just purchased a lovely, steel, 48 cm Proteus road frame  from on eBay.  I'm planning to build it up as a fenderless, sporty road bike for day riding (in lieu of re-retrofitting my original Rivendell custom back into road duty after a conversion into more of a porteur). 

I have a lovely TA crank for the bike plus brake levers and bars. 

I'm in search of a 700c/650b wheelset that works for 120-125 spacing, front and rear derailleurs, and long reach or rim brakes.

If you have nice parts at home in need of a new home, let me know. I'd rather shop from this group than hunt and peck on eBay.

Best,

i have basically a whole bike i built up for a friend a couple of years ago

she got a cocussion  and has never seen the bike

i bought the parts from a list member in portland

i am due a trip to portland anyway so depending

we could save money on shipping

if you wanted to take the bike and strip it

i was going to sell my 54 blue rambouillet 

and keep this little Trek but i could deal

I have a set of 700c AlexRims with Shimano Deore hubs and skewers, and Kenda 45 x 622 tires that came stock with Rivendells when they rolled off the showroom floor. The wheels have probably fewer than 20 miles on them.

My wife and I will be traveling through Eugene and the PNW in the spring, so I could bring the wheels with me. Let me know if you’re interested and we can talk about a price.

If you want racy, I have a very nice set of Mavic tubular wheels on Dura Ace hubs that I used to use for Eroica. I believe the rear is about 125, but if you're interested, I'll go measure.

cheers
