For Sale in Seattle: Nitto, Nigel Smythe, Velo-Orange, Gran Bois, MB-3

[Rob]

All items OBO, and plus the actual cost of the shipping method of your choice, with local pickup in Seattle preferred. As always, if the price seems out of line for the item, make me a reasonable offer.

Nitto Mark’s Rack. Designed by Mark at Rivendell, made by Nitto. Super versatile. Can be mounted on the front to support a randonneur bag, or on the rear to support a big rear saddlebag. $100.

Nitto Big Rear Rack. The older version without the diagonal cross-bracing. Nicer, IMO $150.

Tubus Fly Classic Rear Rack. Stainless steel, narrow and sleek. $90.

Nitto S83 2-bolt Seatpost. 27.2mm diameter, 200mm long. (50mm shorter than the standard one you can get from Rivendell for $97.) Shows definite evidence of use, but still beautiful and functions perfectly. $60. 

 

Nitto Jaguar SP-72 Track 2-Bolt Seatpost. Brand new, never been mounted. 27.2mm. Please note: Rail mounting slots are narrower than standard and ONLY fit track-style saddles. (I missed this!) $45.

Rare Nigel Smythe Tweed Trunk Sack, excellent condition, with rain cover. (Mark's Rack shown for scale, not included, but available separately--also listed for sale here.) $100.

Velo-Orange Cigne Stem Brand new. Mounted once, never ridden. Highly polished version. 31.8mm clamp (use shims if you need 'em). 145mm from bottom of stem to centerline of clamp. Similar to the Cunningham Limp Dick stem Crust makes, but with a little less extension and the handy removable face plate. And half the price, for this one. :) $60.

Gran Bois Randonneur bars. About 37mm at the hoods. Just like the current Compass bars, with the slight upsweep as the bar moves away from the stem n’ all. SUPER comfortable, just like Jan says. A bit of goo from bar tape, but I got most of it off. $75.

Bridgestone MB-3 Not perfect, but nice. Currently set up as a drop-bar single-speed, with the above-mentioned Gran Bois bars and a White Industries Eccentric ENO hub laced to a wide mountain-bike rim. I have all the original parts--rear wheel with 7-spd cassette, stem, chainrings, Ritchey bars, thumbies, front and rear derailleurs. $350 for everything, $250 for the original MB-3 only.

I didn't see any photos of the MB-3.  Your prospective buyer will certainly want to know the frame size so they can decide whether to reach out to you for more information.

Good point! It’s a 1991 model, 21 1/2” center of crank to top of top tube, which I believe is how the sizes are listed in the catalog. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/bridgestone/1991/pages/bridgestone-1991-15.htm

I have everything that came stock with the bike except for the saddle, pedals and tires. 

I do need to provide more info. I’ll do a new separate post for the MB-3.
