FS: Heron Road 52cm

[Zac]

This bike is a blast to ride. Light, nimble, lugged steel frame with intuitive handling. And quiet! Even the bell is polite. But between my other bikes, I just don’t reach for it enough to justify holding on to it.

I believe I'm the third owner. If I’m deciphering the bottom bracket stamp correctly, it’s from 2002. Previous owner added powder coat and ran this more as a stealthy city bike. I tried to nudge the build a little more classic. I also installed new cables, housing, bar tape, kool stop brake pads, and replaced the worn bottom bracket with a lightly used BB-6500. There is a very small, shallow dent on the top tube, see image, but everything’s in great shape and ready to ride.

Price is $900 for anyone on this group. If that's out of reach, let's talk. Also open to trades plus cash for a Hillborne, Roaduno, Charlie or...

Hi Zac - what size Charlie are you looking for? I've got a 53cm that I'd swap for - either complete bike or frame/fork/headset/BB. If you'd like, I can email you to chat about it.
