FS: Kent Eriksen S&S Coupled Titanium Bike ::: Gravel / CX / Pave: Any Surface Fun (xpost from ibob)

[Anne]

Kent Eriksen builds an amazing bike and this one has ridiculously low miles on it. It’s never been my “daily rider” seeing use about one week each year. It needs to be ridden more! Makes a great option for any surface, takes wider tires, travel with ease, etc. This is pretty much a one bike to rule them all setup. American designed and built by multi-time NAHBS winner.

53.5 ETT, full geo in photos. Nice riding setup and recently updated the build to Ultegra 6800 (less than 250 miles on it). Ti couplers were an additional $1100 on top of the frame price.
Prices are net (any fees or shipping would be add'l)

Complete package (no pedals/saddle) $4275 +ship

What size tires will fit this? Anything from a 25 and up to Schwalbe G-Ones 700x35 (caliper at 38 which fit easily), Maxxis Rambler 700x40 are aa great fit too.  Versatile bike and no hydro hassle if you want to box it for travel.

Okay....so Riv has used / demo Rodeo for sale (with 105 build) for $3700 and $150 ship.

Here we've got a premium American builder, an American built titanium bike with Ultegra (with demo-like mileage). It's coupled for travel, has the case and all the rest. Wider rims and tires, easy to have it set up w/o any saddle to bar drop. 

Standard 27.2 seatpost dia if you want to use a Nitto seatpost instead. 

Clearance for wider tires than are on it now.

Fender/rack mounts at the dropout.

This is a complete ti bike with couplers, travel case and essentially a new build for less than the cost of a bare coupled frame.

No ti love here at all?
