SOLD - Complete Novara Safari Touring / Commuting / Cargo Setup For Sale

Bike has been Sold. Thank you for looking.

 

 

Hey Chainlinkers! That bittersweet time has come where I have decided to upgrade, and I must let go of one of my bicycles. Some of you might remember this bicycle from it's recovery story found here: Stolen Bike Story

 

Despite the huge sentimental value of this bike, I have decided that this is the one that has to find a new home. This bike is well loved, I have had a lot of great miles on this bike over the last several years. I am the first owner. Bike has numerous cosmetic flaws from being used, but was recently overhauled by the REI Bike Shop (New BB, Cables, Cable Housing, cassette & Derailleur pulleys. Plus Headset & Hub Rebuilds) so the bike rides pretty much like it did when I first got it.

You cannot sell your used gear for less than you paid for it?  And that is REI's policy?

I get a significant discount...so I cant sell it at retail value. This set up is being sold for less than I paid for it. Thanks for clarifying!

Kiltedcelt - Thanks! I have loved riding this bike, so I hope it goes to a good home :-) Thanks for the handlebar approval, I found the lower riding position to be a bit more comfortable and it worked better for the cable routing. and good catch on the Stem Captain mount! You are correct - The Stem Captain mount comes with the bike as well...just add your own insert.

That is a seriously awesome rig! Whoever buys this is going to be getting a really sweet deal, especially with the racks, bags, and the hub dynamo lighting system. If I didn't already have pretty much the same thing, just custom built on a Nashbar touring frame, I'd be all over this ride. I dearly love a fully-loaded touring/commuting rig. I notice that you mounted your trekking bars facing downwards (an uncommon way to mount them - but I approve), and that it looks like you had a Stem Captain accessory of some sort at one time.

If you ever wanted to sell them piece by piece, I'd be interested on those rear panniers.

Thanks J.A.W. - At this point I'd like to keep it all together, but If I decide to part it out, I'll let you know.

Photo of the bike on tour around the lower third of Lake Michigan. Rode from Chicago to Muskegon Michigan, then We caught the high speed ferry from Muskegon to Milwaukee and then headed back to Chicago...fantastic 5 day tour! Just think: this could be you :)
