FS: Bridgestone X0-3 55cm

[jinxed]

I had this for sale previously and it was grabbed up...then the deal fell through...then it was really close to Christmas...so I begged my in-laws to keep it in storage for me till later in the year. (I'm having some theft/safety issues with one of the neighbors I share garage space with. I can no longer keep bikes out there.)

Time has come for me to get it moving.

Bike was purchased from a forum member maybe a couple years ago.

I believe it was pinned down as a 94. Size is 52cm c-t seat tube with a 55cm c-c top tube. Long and low.

It has the original RX100 cranks, derailleurs, hubs. Original Dia compe cantis. I received it with the northroads/albatross style bar on it and ended up running it this way. I did however source the correct (I think) bar end shifters as original that will be included. They are a little scuffed up but perfectly operational. I also have a soma mustache bar that is optional. It currently has Deore thumb shifters and Shimano levers that work really well with the bike. Tires are 26" Kenda's wire bead with a reverse style tread. They work pretty well off road and roll smooth on the pavement.

Bike is in good shape with some paint dings and decal flaking. No dents or damage to the frame. Wheels could use a truing, and there is a slightly bent spoke.

Seat is not included at this price. I have some flat bmx style pedals if needed.

$500 and actual shipping within the US. Plus fees if using paypal.

I dont think your photos do the color justice.  It's not that dark in real life, at least not in my mind.  It's a really nice metallic burgundyish brownish color.  If it was a 55 instead of a 52, I'd be tempted.

Or maybe it's my monitor darking things up.  My point is it's a great bike and a great looking bike.

Bumping this up. Lots of questions and interest...no takers.

To clarify, this will come with the pictured cockpit AND with the additional mustache bar, barend shifters, and a set of brake levers. I may have a dirt drop style stem too to go with it.

hit me up!

Last bump before it goes to the bay.

Trying to keep it in the family, so I'll pick up the shipping charges in the US.

Getting lots of confusion and questions on size.

Bridgestone sized this bike as a 52 in the catalog. That measurement corresponds to the seat tube. The top tube however is indeed 55cm center to center. The standover height with the 1.75 tires is 77cm = 30.3".

I will ship the bike with a TI railed Terry saddle so that it is complete.

Last ditch.

One cockpit. TI railed Terry saddle. I pay shipping in the US. $450.
