FS: Frances Farfarer Trailer - $550 shipped

[Bob K.]

Hi Folks,

Riv Content: The trailer is hitched to my beautiful '09 canti Hillborne in the photos.

Up for sale is my lightly used Frances Farfarer trailer. I've owned it for about two years, and it has spent most of that time de-coupled/disassembled because I haven't had as much time to use it as planned. This is an incredibly capable and nimble trailer, and it weighs in at just under 10 pounds. When loaded properly with the heaviest items toward the bottom, it hardly feels like you're pulling anything at all. I have used it for errands in the general vicinity of my house (groceries, firewood, etc.), hauling my daughter from time to time, and on one ~150 mile tour of the C&O Towpath here in MD. Works well with both my Sam (700x48) and Troll (26x3). 

I'm selling it for a couple of reasons: 1) I bought it primarily as a kid-hauler, and while it works well for that purpose, my daughter and I both prefer the forward-facing Weehoo so we can talk a bit more easily. Joshua Muir (maker of the trailer) used it for his daughter for years in Santa Cruz, and he loved it for that purpose. And 2) As mentioned above, I don't use it often enough. 

Comes with a safety flag (not pictured), metal fender, Schwalbe Big Apple tire, one hitch, and bushing for 27.2 seatpost. If you need a different bushing size, Joshua at Frances has what you need. It has a few scratches/scuffs, but no dings, and the cargo "bag" (which is super heavy duty Cordura) has a couple of small stains. One of the fender stays is slightly bent. Just wanted to point that out because I know how finicky BOBs and RBWs can be about their fenders. See pictures here.

If you're interested, you probably know all about this thing, but you can also find more info on the trailer at Frances's website and on Youtube.

Price is $550 shipped anywhere in the continental US, but local pickup (or delivery within Baltimore/DC area) is strongly preferred! I paid $652 shipped from Frances and have only ridden it ~250 miles. And just FYI, I'll be at a conference DC for a week as of tomorrow, so I won't be able to ship it until next weekend or early the following week.

Please respond privately with any questions/interest. Thanks!

Bumping this: How about $500 shipped for a Frances Farfarer trailer in great condition. If your preferred method of touring is with a trailer, this thing is incredible.

I’ll happily drop it off with you if you’re local to MD/DC/VA/DE or even parts of PA and Upstate NY if you’re on the way between Baltimore and the Catskills. Boston folks, my buddy could coordinate drop-off.

Let me know via PM—thanks!
