Hi Gang,
I am offering several items for sale - all can be seen on my webshots photo
hosting site at: http://community.webshots.com/
1) First is a Richard Sachs frame/fork from +/- 1988. the bike is shown complete but this offering is for the frame and fork only. The bike is set up with some modern but classic feeling campagnolo alloy components that I would be open to sell to the prospective buyer of this frame if the buyer would like them. All components are in excellent condition and have very low miles/wear on them. Spaced 130mm rear drops 58.5cm c-t seat tube 56.5cm top tube The frame was repainted in 1998 I believe by Joe Bell - a stunning and unique deep royal purple over white undercoat. Sounds a little odd, but very handsome with white graphics. Studio photos (by Ken Toda) show the more accurate color - close-ups are way too blue. Paint job is in almost like new condition - just a few small chips here and there. Frame is built with standard sized tubes before Richard went to oversize tubing - so this bike has the classic look of the older bikes but with the nice ability to use a modern gear system. The frame/fork will include a no longer produced no logo Chris King alloy headset. This bike is a super rider and has always performed flawlessly for me. It's one of a small handful of bikes I've felt comfortable/stable riding hands free. I am asking $1800 plus $75 shipping.
2) NOS Campagnolo 32 hole small flange wheel set with DT stainless double butted spokes, and Nisi S1 Toro polished alloy rims with washers. Rims have smooth sidewalls and are not anodized. These wheels have never seen pavement or glue or a freewheel and are beautiful. They come with curved QR skewers. This is the first build for these hubs - Italian thread. Some of the pictures show them with tires - the tires are being sold separately and are not glued to the rims. I am asking $350 plus $30 shipping.
3) NOS Clement Criterium Seta Servizio Corsa tires (2). These are in lovely condition with no glue, tread and sidewalls in excellent condition. They are shown mounted on the afore mentioned wheels to check how they fit on the rims (beautiful). These are later production "made in Thailand" production which I understand varied in quality. These mounted nicely and look fantastic on the rims with no strange tread wobble etc. They hold air and are ready to ride or just look beautiful on your classic steed. I am asking $180 for the pair plus $10 shipping. Buy them with the wheels and I'll drop the shipping charge on the tires and reduce the shipping on the wheels $10 (for a $20 savings). I will take these back if you are not satisfied for any reason.
Please feel free to ask any questions about these items in case I missed anything.
Thanks for looking!
