New price, $3200 OBO.

Can deliver to LA area next weekend (26th-29th) or Bay Area whenever.

Don't be shy, lets find this amazing tandem a new home just in time for summer :)

Jared, I'm feeling your pain at letting this beautiful tandem go!  I have an orange size M HHH also, and I really hope to never have to sell it because Leslie really enjoys our little outings on it.  I also had an Ibis Cousin IT for years but this one rides better, IMO.

I hope one of y'all reading will get off the fence and pull the trigger on this screaming deal already (yeah, you know who you are)

Cheers,

Thanks, Bill!

As far as I'm concerned these are the best tandems available today, or any day for that matter, glad to hear you enjoy yours so much.

I was really hopeful someone would grab it before the weekend, but that ship has sailed. Still available for delivery to the Bay Area!

Someone send me a message and let's talk numbers, this is a smokin' deal compared to what it would cost to build one up.

Fielded some interest at the $3,000 number, yet still no takers so let's try for a bump.

Another trip to LA planned for Sunday-Monday if someone in SoCal wants to step up.

Thanks :)

If you're on the fence I can attest that these are a blast to ride. My wife and I have been steadily putting on the miles after buying Laing's small HH late last year.

Thanks for the endorsement, Eric, great looking ride!

They are really groovy machines, it just doesn't fit into our lives at the moment.

Still not utilizing this guy so let's find a new, hopefully local-ish home for this wonderful steed.

$3,000, local pickup/meet up preferred, no saddles included.

Thanks :)

Hi - just wanted to say, i sold my Hub for around 2800 (i forget exactly how much, but sub 3k); great tandem (we've been tendering for almost 30 years, it was our 5th tandem); THEY CAN BE SHIPPED VIA BIKE FLIGHTS! frame & accessories in one box, wheels and misc in another.  Approx $350 to ship (and a few hours of packing). IMG_0593.jpeg

It was a great riding tandem, would have kept it, except we needed a packable, ie s&S coupled one, and wound up with a Ritchey breakaway, which i highly highly recommend (much different from the Riv ride though)

Jared,
would you be willing to sell just the hubbuh frame and have it shipped to the east coast?

Best,
IY (CT/NYC)

Hey IY,

Thanks for the interest. I'm not looking to part out, but I will make a great deal on the complete bike and you and Brian can work out the details of who wants what.

Either of you feel free to send me an email at jaredwi...@gmail.com and lets work out some logistics!

Cheers :)

Wow, you got a smoking deal on your large!

Unfortunately I can't do $2500/shipped, but I can do $2500 + shipping (that offer is extended to any other group members as well)

This thing is basically new (sub 50 miles) and won't disappoint.

Cheers,

jared

Hey,
Thanks for the response.
Can you do 2500 shipped?
I got my complete large hubbuh  for 2000, so i’m disinclined to spend too much more than ive spent in the past.
Thanks!

Best,
Isaiah

I am in the area (I think) and would definitely love to add the Hubbub to my stable.

Thanks,

Sorry all.  The Hubba did not work out for me, for reasons not having to do with the bike.  But Jared did send me many more pics and the bike looks to be in truly incredible shape.  Someone grab this thing!

Hey Jared-
I’m still very interested in the parts I’m missing for my build:
Wheelset, cranks depending on the length, btm brackets, stems, brakes, drivetrain, bars, etc. 

I’m in Albany and can meet you locally. 
My budget is around $1500. 
Let me know your thoughts, I understand you’d rather sell it complete but we need a small frame to fit my wife and kids.

Alrighty, major update.

Only the frame/fork/hs/eccentric bb/seatpost remain!

I'll probably be making a new listing, but if anyone happens across this posting and is interested, let's chat. 

Happy to have a shop ship and open to trades for a 60cm Quickbeam ;)

Cheers, and good luck with the build, Brian!
