Custom steel road bike for sale. Dura Ace, Alpha Q, Mavic.

Dear Cylcists,

Money is tight and liesure time is minimal. I'm tightening my belt and I need a few bucks to pay off some yet-sizeable school loans. As such, I'm selling my most prized posession. My road bike.

This was a frame built in 2010 by Michael Catano of Chicago's Humble Frameworks. It s constructed of vintage Columbus EL/SO tubing and rides like a Jaguar on two wheels. I built the rest of the bike myself.

There are absolutely no defects with the bike, I am selling it only because I need the money. Ride it once and you'll be sold.

The bike is outfitted with:
- Thomson Masterpiece Seatpost - Silver
- Thomson Maserpiece Stem - Silver
- Chris King 1 1/4" Headset - Silver
- Specialized Toupe Saddle - Black
- Alpha-Q CS-20 Carbon Fiber Fork (w/ Carbon Fiber Steerer) - Black
- Deda Elementi 6061 Aluminum Handlebars (42cm width) - White
- Mavic Cosmos Wheelset
- Dura Ace 7700 Group (9 speed, 175mm Crankset, Double)
- Handbuilt, Custom Painted 53.5cm frame (w/ 53.5cm reach) made with Columbus EL/SO tubing ($1,100).

This bike is currently equipped with the carbon fiber fork, but also included in the sale is the original Columbus EL/SO fork, hand-built and painted to match the frame.

This bike has logged a mere 400 miles, and was professionally tuned-up this past July (w/ drivetrain cleaning, hub adjustments, BB adjustments, etc.). It's in impeccable working condition.

The total weight of the bike is around 18.5lbs.

It is an ideal fit for a handbuilt steel bike enthusiast who stands between 5'8" and 5'10". Pedals are not included.
