Can I sell non riv / riv adjacent bikes here ?

[atreya...@gmail.com]

I have a Sklar Supersomething that I like to sell. It was deck out with dreamy components but unfortunately the sizing was little small for my preference. 

Can I sell it here ? I know lots of Sklar owners are also riv aficionados like me.  Just want to make sure I don’t run afoul of rules and etiquette here .

The general vibe is we'll take a look if you've been posting comments for a while, but this is a very Riv-centered site. Which probably sounds vague but I'm just a member, the admin would have to set hard and fast rules.

Understood! Thanks for the response.Unfortunately haven’t posted in last couple of year to be honest . Moved cross country and now getting back to biking . Re-evaluating my stable . The build was labor of love so want to make sure it finds a right home .

I will wait till admin responds or I get more people commenting one way or the other .

Basically it's fine.  What is frowned upon is a complete stranger to the board ONLY selling stuff and never participating.  You've been posting for ~5 years, and as long as you cut us RBW members a GENEROUS family discount, a nice, made in California steel (or even Ti) bike is not going to make anybody offended.  The rules are that you don't have to own a Rivendell to participate in this group.  Basically imagine showing up with your Sklar at Riv HQ.  If Will would look at it and say "that's rad!" then it's OK.  :-)

If somebody was a total stranger to the board, and in their first post listed a carbon dual suspension e-assist bike, that would be no bueno.

Thanks Bill !!

Your explanation totally makes sense . I will take some photos and put it here . Hope the family will like modern rivish bike . 

 Glad to be back in this community again ! To kick start after a long hiatus , I will share with the family something very interesting I found just now setting up my Atlantis . Hope it will be helpful.

Thanks,

Deepak

The Sklar Supersomething is a production bike, presumably made in Taiwan. Bill, does that change your answer?

I still imagine Will Keating saying "That's rad!" , so my answer remains unchanged.

I am sure he would . 

Back when I was in California, I was fortunate enough to be 15 minutes drive away from riv hq and Sklar’s workshop in Oakland. Definitely both are rad bunch of people !! Pouring their heart out for the craft and bicycles .

Actually, I do wanna sell a carbon dual suspension e-assist bike. It comes with color matched lycra kit. And a cool custom mod to get the handlebars lower than the saddle (which isn't a brooks).

That’s was funny but it’s all steel rigid bike .  Bars level with saddle .

Hi Richard ,

Forgot to mention , the reason I am selling is I sized too small. I have long legs and short torso ( I am barely 5’9 with 86.5 pbh ) . Standover is 82.  

Thanks,

Deepak
