Kellog Spectrum Road: $950 pickup/drop-off 

I'm gonna try to clear a few hooks and made some space, spin off a 
couple/few steeds that don't get out much. Between me not having any bike 
boxes, and all my local LBS having a very hard time getting any new bikes, 
so no free boxes readily available, I'm starting out saying no shipping 
right now. I'll drive 50mi from NE Jersey, 07642, north, west or south, to 
meetup and drop off. It that doesn't work, I'll look at shipping, but won't 
make any promises until I can score some boxes.

Obliquely ibobish/Rivvish like a Bridgestone RB-1......? 

This is a Spectrum road frame of indeterminate age, tallish with a shortish 
top tube. Some of the frame details, mainly the top-of-bb cable guides and 
older Spectrum decal, say mid-'80s to me, but I don't see a ser# on the bb 
shell, and there's a simple "94" stamped on the steerer tube. 94th frame 
built? Can't imagine it was spec'd this way in '94, especially with the 
older decals.

Has all the Kellogg/Spectrum hallmarks: clean lugs, lovely scalloped seat 
stay plugs, smooth/clean top tube internal brake casing routing with 
internal guide tube, and beefy chain stays with minimal/precise dimples.

It is a performance road frame, tight wheelbase, upright angles, no 
fender/rack bosses. It rides fast and smooth, but with pretty neutral 
handling. Never felt like an '80s crit bike to me. 

I'd call 26-27mm actual width max, pinch point is under the front brake. 
True 28mm tires rubbed the underside of the front brake, and were pretty 
darn tight both at the chainstays and under the rear brake.

No dents, dings, or scrapes deeper than primer. 

Rides straight, threads are clean. My last pre-sale build was a test bed 
for a 38/24 double, which didn't work in the rear with the bb-top cable 
guides, so there's a drilled/tapped hole in the bb for an under-bb cable 
guide. I'll plug it with a bolt.

Pretty clean metalflake black overall, with a few scrapes, visible in the 
photos. Biggest ones are on the outside of the drive-side seat stay, and 
under the Kellogg name on the non-drive chainstay. No rust or paint 
bubbling; the top tube brake casing openings are clean, which isn't always 
the case. 

Build is all the 740x Dura-Ace you can get, except for the bottom bracket. 
Details below.

Happy to answer questions. Some pix attached, more at flickr:
