Been holding off on selling these for sentimental or fantastical reasons, but I need to clear some room for new projects. I would much prefer a local sale (Southern California, or can plan to meet near fresno or bakersfield). PHOTOS HERE.

1984 Trek 420 mixte 650b conversion- built this for my partner about 7 years ago but she has a rivendell now, so this just sits. Most of the components have seen only a few rides. I believe it's the only year they made a step thru bike. More info can be found on the vintage trek catalog site. It has been powdercoated black with decals from velocals, and converted to 650b. currently has 38's on now but could probably fit 42's. Its in really nice shape. 500$
Effective TT-52.5cm c-c
Seat tube -49cm
Wheelset-Velocity synergy to vtg shimano hubs. Soma 650x38 tires. 
7 speed cassette
Tektro long reach brakes
VO Bars
Tiagra brake levers
Suntour Thumb shifters
Altus RD
Deore triple crank
Gyes leather saddle
(bag/lights not included)


Bike Friday Pocket Llama disc- I purchased this to replace a brompton and i had lofty goals of taking it on planes and going exploring. Covid and the 2 year old in my house had different plans and i dont see at least one of them relenting soon. I did spend some time and money recently overhauling it, so aside from the frame and wheels, nearly everything is new. Tire clearance is great and you could fit something even bigger. I am the second owner. Its a pretty badass little bike that rides surprisingly normal. Some little scuffs to the paint, but no rust, dents etc.  1600$ (willing to discuss parting out if there is little interest.)

Not sure exactly how to measure this, but I usually ride a 56-58cm, and this was easy to set up with the same specs. 
Effective top tube-56cm c-c
Seat tube- 51cm

Microshift advent 1x9 drivetrain with a bar end shifter. (will include original fd)
Sugino Clipper crank 170 with FSA megatooth 1x ring
bb7 brakes
BF folding steering mast installed, and will include original as well. 
Spank 5cm stem
Salsa Cowchipper bars
Dia-compe long pull drop levers
Alex DM18 rims with Sram hubs and Schwalbe marathon 50mm
New Chain, cables, bottle cage, seatpost and bottom bracket. 
will include an Old man mountain rack that can be used on the rear and sit at a proportional height.
(saddle and pedals not included)


Thanks,
Drew, Los Angeles
