Ok, here we go again. I recently worked out a deal to pick up an
Atlantis so per my wonderful wife the Homer has to go. I recently
picked it up from Chris Jonhson and it is in great condtion. Color is
techincally school bus yellow but it is more like creamsicle orange in
real life. Looking to sell Frame, Fork and Headset for what I paid,
$1100 shipped. No dents, dings or chainsuck, has VO leather chainstay
protector I just installed but can be removed easily enough with a
hair dryer. Bike has one small scuff in seat tube decal but it doesnt
show up in pictures and is very small but thought I should mention it,
the rest of the paint is outstanding. I will include the dia-compe
center pull brakes but I am keeping the kool stop pads for myself
since they are pretty much brand new. I am also looking to sell the
wheelset here. 650b Wheels, front is a Rich built synergy with deore
hub, rear is Alfine 8 Speed internal with synergy wheel, handbuilt for
me at Harris Cyclery. I paid over $800 with the hetres for this setup
so was looking to get around $450. Wheels have less than 300 miles on
them, hub shifts super smooth, no grinding or anything like that, will
include brand new shifter/small parts setup and 57mm VO fenders to
buyer. Here are some recent pics of the bike, email me with any
questions/concerns. Thanks everyone.

After having passed on this before I can't help but think this is a
sign from above that this bike is for me--off to think...

Like me findind an Atlantis with horizontal dropouts installed so I can run my IGH wheels without chain tensioners, sometimes you just have to go with the flow!

Hey, there's ol' faithful!

Peter, I'm sorry to hear that it didn't solve your fit concerns.  Hopefully, someone in this group can give it a good home and post the the occasional photo so I can remember the good times.

I submitted multiple bikoo entries for Grant's contest about this frameset.  Here's a just couple...

out of winter’s fog

into the sun he surges

Homer’s pilot soars


and

 

over windblown heights

through spooky shady valleys

Homer never fails


I'm guessing the judges are still trying to decide which of these two is the winner.

Chris,  I got alot of compliments out riding already,  people love the color, but no offers yet which is a bit surprising.  I need to sell somewhat fast or my wife will pretty much kill me so how about $1050 shipped and I will include the Kool stop pads?  Just looking to make room for new to me Atlantis but it is almost time to pay for summer camp so pressure is on me to sell fast.  Thanks all.
