FS: Matthews fat-tire dirt road bike f+f+rear rack + custom fenders + bb + hs + Hy Rds: $1,000 NET + actual packing and shipping

[Patrick Moore]

I just like the Monocog better for sand, and I've now got 42s on the Matthews road bike, which handles better on pavement, so this "dirt road bike" just falls between the cracks. I just ordered a MAP/Ahearne bar for the Monocog.

51 c-c, 55 c-t, with very sloped tt; fits me perfectly who take a 60 C 56-57 c-c in a level tt road bike

Effective tt 56-57 

HTA ~71.5, STA ~72, rake ~55 mm

Custom rear rack in matching color

Logic hs, Phil 130 mm steel bb (works with Ritchey Logic cranks, not included) for 160 mm Q

Custom 80 mm aluminum full coverage fenders. Forward strut may seem oddly close to head tube; that's because I re-installed fender for more forward coverage, and used original hole for strut. It's fine: stiff, and doesn't rattle.

TRP Hy Rds calipers (no discs or levers; see below)

Room for real 60s and fenders, but more room under ss bridge with 50s.

Fork has "hooks" for dynamo wire (wire can be installed with plug attached; it's secure); internal rear light wire routing thru tt and ss; rear rack has internal routing too. 

3 pairs of bottle cage mounts

Internal routing for rear disc brake cable

QR or nutted-type dropouts (I have not had any rubbing problems)

Brake housing stops on bottom head tube

Brazed-in under-bb cable guides

There is some touch-up paint mess on inside of seatstays just under bridge where a 5 mile walk home with a flattened Big One wore off the paint, which I repainted with red paint on hand -- 2 neat little read squares. There are also primer "tendrils" that escaped the masking that I will try to clean up with acetone; not obvious unless you look closely. Rear rack has scuffing from Ortlieb clips; Otherwise, paint is vg.

No wheels, crank, cassette, derailleurs

Note that with Big Ones and fenders, there is a good 2 1/2" of toe overlap. (I told Chauncey what my priorities were, and avoiding TO was low on the list.)

$1,000 NET plus actual packing + Bike Flights or ShipBikes shipping to your address. The local shop charges about $60 for packing, and there may be a 2-week wait for the job order.

Add 10 cm, 90* Ritchey stem ($90 new), pretty new RH Maes Parallel, non-EL, 44 cm, Shimano aero levers, and cabling for total price of $1,200 NET + packing and shipping.

Also selling NOS lightest-model Big Ones, contact me about qty and pricing. Willing to discount for qty order with frameset. 

Apart from these sale options, I don't want to part out at this point

Photos to come.

Please reply off list.

Thanks, Patrick

Forgot: no saddle or seatpost, tho' can supply new, lower-end Ritchey post for $25.

I will include SunTour BES, sans those precious chromed locknuts, with the bar, stem, and levers at no added price.

[Patrick Moore]

Of course. 700C and 135 mm.

And photos will appear, but I'm slow. (I've attached one of it fully built.)

Does anyone want to discuss a trade, with all appropriate adjustments, for one of the simpler Brompton models? Would really prefer fixed or ss, but realize that fixed is probably not available.

Please talk to me offlist.

Aside: Just stumbled across this: http://www.whippetbicycle.com Has anyone tried one?

What is the Front Center measurement?

61.5 cm, or PDC.

Once again (to the general audience, as background) I told Chauncey: I like the way my Rivs handle; given the other design constraints, make it handle like them; TCO is secondary." Well, it doesn't handle like a Riv -- nice, but with 30" tall, 60 mm wide, 20 psi tires? -- but he did work in the TCO.

I can’t believe you are not going to trade me this frame for my single speed Pugsley which is the bike you have wanted all your life but have never acknowledged.

Lalalalalalalalalala, I can't hear you.

While I have come to love the Monocog, I think that a Pugsley would be going to far for my taste, but thanks. 

What is the Q on the Pugsley? 

BTW, all, the Matthews is designed to take 650B X ~75s, tho probably not under the present fenders -- the 650Bs might be a wee bit shorter than the 700C X 60s, but they'd be too wide for the fenders, at 80 mm.

I may try some 45-48 mm tires on the Matthews and see how I like it.
