For anyone curious, the 953 road frame is still available, and if you're interested, but don't like the subtle etched logos, I can also update it with my Team-issue decals (orange panels).
I've also got a brand new Kinetic Rock and Roll trainer (in the box) with the pivoting front wheel stand as well. I bought it last year, but never used it (i'd rather be out xc-skiing) and it's just collecting dust. These are about as good as a trainer gets, the Rock and roll let's you get out of the saddle and rock the bike on the trainer.
$375 take it home. This one is probably best for local pick-up, but I can ship it if you like.
And if anyone local is interested I've got a Nordic Track ski machine that's free to a good home. Works great.
Just in time for winter!

used 953 frame for sale!
Well, the great sell-off has been incredibly successful, so I'm listing a frame here for a customer. This is a rare chance to get a 953 stainless steel frame today with no wait! Attitude blog readers will recognize this frame as it originally belonged to me. It currently belongs to a customer and he's looking to sell the frame, fork, headset and seatpost. (I put pictures of the complete bike for reference only). He's looking for $1600 for the package, which is an incredible deal.
This is a 58 x 58cm frame. 100% 953 tubing with a lot of special details. Custom carved slant six lugs with "B" logo carved into the headlug. Top-tube is round-oval-round. The seatstay attachment is very unique, fastback style with a hidden binder all bare stainless. Tubing is double oversize with 19mm seatstays. This frame is on the stiffer side for 953 as it's early tubing and the wall thickness was slightly over spec. Very good for a rider 170-220 lbs.
The frame is currently in my shop and I can send you detailed pictures of anything you like. There are a couple of scuffs on the drive side seatstay, but nothing serious. I can probably rub them out before shipping.
The fork is a Reynolds Ouzo pro carbon in nearly perfect condition. Seatpost is Reynolds Ouzo comp carbon post in very good condition. Headset is cane creek S-60, works perfectly. If a buyer would like a complete bike, I can certainly provide a build package and assemble the bike.
In other news, I just finished another stainless steel frame and 2 more africa bikes. The big news is that the africa bikes are no longer secret, so looks for pics here soon and blatant pleas for donations to keep the project moving!

Well the 29'er went fast once I got it painted. So I figured I'd post a bit more and let you know I'll have a 58cm 953 frame posted here real soon. It's used, belongs to a customer, but he's looking to sell, details soon.
Here's some other stuff, some is already listed on ebay, some will be going on this week.

Brand new singlespeed cassette hub. 32 hole, 135mm silver, not sure of brand, but nice sealed bearings. I will throw in a cog as well from a large selection of sizes. $25
Control Tech canti brakes. used, but good shape. All parts are included, this is a full bikes' worth. Super light, super trick from back in the day. I've been harding these for a while because I love 'em, but I've got enough high end canti's to hold me over. Won't even charge extra for the picture being upside down!
$125.
Modolo speedy-flash brake kit. There's lots in here if you're an modolo guy! it's been sitting a while but still chock full o parts. How about $35?
XTR-952 cranks. 175mm, used, but good shape. there's some flaking of the anno around the pedal holes but it's only cosmetic. threads and splines are great. 46t ring/spider included. I bought these to polish them out, but never got around to it. $60 or if you want them polished $125.
I also have a spare used (but good good shape) 46t ring for these that I'll sell for $20
Brand new Camelbak Mule NV 100oz, green. Still has tags on it, I won it last year but I've already got 3 camelbaks. Don't need 4. $60 takes it, it's $100 new.
Non-bike type stuff: Astute readers will know I recently sold my jetta and I've ordered a new car. But won't need to move any of the car stereo to the new car, so here's some of what I have. I'd be happy to make a package deal on any or all of this.
JL Audio 10W6 drive and custom made enclosure to fit in the under-trunk compartment of a 1999-2005 Jetta. It'll fit in any jetta of that era and be totally hidden under the trunk floor. Or at this price just buy it for the driver and make your own box for your car. sounds incredible. $150.
Alpine CDA-9885 Cd/MP3 receiver with Alpine Full Speed Ahead Ipod contol cable and Alpine Tua- T500HD HD radio receiver. This thing will do it all, CD, mp3, ipod, HD radio, satellite radio, bluetooth. Allow you to control ipod from the receiver, so you can leave your ipod in the glove box safely hidden. 6 pre-amp outputs. HD radio is great in the cities, lots of stations and lots of multicast stations in our area. $250 takes the whole pacakge
MTX Thunder 4325 4 channel amp. Very, very nice high-current amp from back in the day. Performance certificate from the factory shows the actual measured output. I had 2 channels bridged running the sub and 2 channels running my front component speakers. The sound is amazing. $250
Alpine CDA 7832. Older and has been sitting in my basement for a few years. I did power it up and everything seems to work fine. 6 preamp outputs, all 4v! CD, changer control, can run an ipod with available alpine ai-net connection cord. Really nice, just older model. $60
Audiosource AMP1 80w x 2 channel home amplifier. Again, older model, which has the cool meters on it (new version got rid of these). Works great, can be bridged to 200w mono use if you want to run a home theater sub with it. $85
That's what I have for today, heck let me know if you need something I might have it laying around....

29'er going on the 'bay
It's painted and heading to ebay. Last chance (I hope) to grab this one. It's a great dark grey pearl paint which really pops in the sun. Decals are black with gold outline to match the gold lettering on the Raceface Duece seatpost which is included. I can also change the decals to the orange Kenwood team panel style, which would look great on that grey paint. Last chance price is $1100
This is a brand new frame, 29'er, 20" seat-tube, 24.3" effective top-tube, suspension corrected for 80mm fork, Rohloff sliding dropouts, disc brake. Race Face Duece Seatpost is included.
It will be listed on ebay today so act fast, or feel free to bid on the auction.

In the sunlight the paint really sparkles!

every 6 months
I should make a blog post every 6 months whether I need it or not....
Yeah, I'm still kickin' just not writtin'. Still building bikes too, but lately it's been really focused on the Africa bike project. There's 2 reasons for that, first off, Reynolds is killing me on delivering 953, and all my next frames in the que are stainless, and the africa bike is really cool. I wish I could post pics, but it's still under wraps. I'm on revision 3 of the protoyping now.
Here's some pics I can show though, a repaint I just finished, patina'd copper!
It's mighty unique.
In other news, I'm swamped. Not just with bike stuff, but with life. And to be honest almost everything related to bikes has become very difficult this spring. I tore a few ligaments in Feb in a snowboarding accident and my ankle just hasn't healed. So I've been off the bike for a while and it's getting to me.
The short version is I've decided to stop taking orders for a while. I have a huge backlog and I need to work through it. So if you inquire I'm probably going to point you to someone else. I'm still doing couplers and other jobs, but I just can't take on more frames until I get through some of my backlog.
out for now.
