Here's a true superbike for anyone who enjoys a more upright riding posture and is not interested in spending four or five-K for the same level of performance.
And it's beautiful too: a flat bar road bike, newly created with a select group of components.
It's built on the platform of Douglas Racing's exotic, top of the line, Litespeed-made, Precision Plus Titanium/Carbon frameset.
NOTE: Douglas Racing was the house brand of renowned Colorado Cycling who recently shut their doors after a long and very successful run as a specialty bike shop.
This custom-build features Reynolds carbon fiber seat stays, Reynolds Ouzo Pro carbon fiber fork, and is equipped with a thoroughly awesome component group, including Chris King NoThreadset.
CONDITION: excellent and exceptional. With the sole exception of the partially-rubbed away model name graphics on the top tube, the frameset is in near pristine condition. Many components are brand new or close to it with only a few having minor cosmetic issues. The bike and its components are near spotlessly clean and glowing.
COMPONENTS:
- Mavic SSC 700c wheelset with Delta Axl-Rodz leverless skewers. They are in exceptionally fine condition, and arguably one of the most beautiful wheelsets ever made. The skewer set is brand new.
-Vredestein Fortezza Tri-Comp 160 psi, 700 x 25c tire set: brand new plus perhaps a mile and a half shakedown cruise.
-Chris King NoThreadset
-Velo-Orange's sleek, unique, high-reach Happy Stem. Brand new.
-EC-90 carbon fiber riser bar. Brand new.
-Specialized Zertz Insert carbon fiber seat post.
-Specialized Body Geometry racing saddle, a modern version and very near new.
-Campagnolo Record 53/39-T double crankset.
-Campagnolo Centaur skeletonized sidepull brake set, near flawless.
-Rare skeletonized Cannondale MTB brake lever set.
-SRAM XO 9-speed carbon fiber trigger shifter set, near new.
-SRAM XO carbon fiber rear derailleur.
-SRAM Apex front derailleur, near new.
-SRAM Red 11/34-T, 9-speed cassette.
-Ergon GP-1 ergonomic hand grips.
-Rock Bros. sealed cartridge bearing, low profile platform pedals.
-Bottom Bracket: high end Shimano UN-72 cartridge bearing square taper.
-All cables & housing, brand new Jagwire.
SIZE/STATS:
-Weight as shown: 19.07 lbs.
-Size, as distance between bottom bracket center to center of the top tube/seat tube interface: 59cm.
-Standover Height: 32-1/2": a rider will need to stand 6' tall to be comfortable, and, more likely, at least an inch or two taller.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
-This is a custom-built high-performance road bike with elite level responsiveness, set up for a rider who prefers a more upright riding posture. It will go toe to toe with bikes costing four or five times as much and, since production has ceased, may even grow in value if properly cared for. It's an instant classic of the future, and may turn out to be your dream bike of a lifetime.
-Thanks for viewing. Your questions are welcome. Huge price slash as medical bills mount and healthcare insurance springing leaks, but no "offers' please: this price is FIRM.
