Bikes looking for new homes...

[Ronald Long]

It seems to be the season. 

I have a couple bikes I would like to find new homes for. I appear to have irrevocably moved to recumbents, so these are collecting dust - literally.

None of them are nearly as impressive as some of the bikes I've seen people selling recently, but are all decent, rideable bikes. I've ridden one day STP and probably a Ramrod or two on the Lemond, and up to a 600km on the Habanero.

Getting a little bit of money for them is secondary to finding new homes for them where they are likely to get ridden.

They all need a bit of cleaning up before sending off to a new owner. Expressed interest would motivate me to get off my butt and do so.

1. Road bike - Rodriguez frame, Campy Mirage. Bought for a family member, ended up just storing it. This is for a small rider - as in close to 5 feet.  I'm 5'6", and it would be much too small for me. Would be a great first road bike. The major disadvantage is that it has 650C wheels. Probably the max tire size is 700x25c. They make 28s, but it would be a tight fit.

2. Road bike 52 cm- LeMond Maillot Jeune frame, S&S couplings installed by Bilenkey, repainted black.  Shimano Ultegra 9 speed drivetrain. FSA compact crank.  Wonderful bike to ride - my favorite descender of all the bikes I've owned. The shifters are missing their dust cover/top cap (Ebay appears to have them.) Hand built wheels (that I built). 

3. Road bike - 52cm Habanero TI Cross/gravel frame. Plenty of room for wider tires. SRAM Force 11, hand built wheels, compact crank, Selle Anatomica seat.  Avid disc brakes, Lynskey carbon fork.

I've owned 3 Habaneros over several decades. I've put many thousands of km on them, and am keeping the S&S coupled version of this bike for myself in case I ever decide to do another ride on the "normal bike".

Hi Ronald,

My daughter can use your 3rd road bike, the Habanero. She started last summer as she led her community tour the parks in North Bend as the youth park commissioner using her small bike 😀. This will be perfect for her this spring.

Thank you,

Louie
