Sorry for the re-post, but I have been asked for up-to-date photos of the bike exactly as it is being offered. Last night I did the parts swaps/installations and then this morning I photographed the bike exactly as it is being offered. Photos and details here:
http://www.adventurecorps.com/forsale/xo/ For Sale: 1992 Bridgestone XO-1, 55cm size, with custom CyclArt paint: Exactly as seen in the photos! Since I have only ridden it once in a decade, I am selling off my 1992 Bridgestone XO-1. It's a size 55cm and was custom repainted by Cyclart in the same "tusk" off-white with the pearlescent clear-coat as it originally had ("Cat. 2" level paint job). At the same time, I had a third set of bottle braze-ons added to the bottom of the top tube. This bike is better than new, truly. Grant Petersen gave it to me in 1992, when I was sponsored by Bridgestone Cycles USA. I raced it in the Triple Ironman in France and some other events, but quit riding it about 1996. I had it repainted by CyclArt in about 1999 and only rode it once after that. It's been taking space (indoors, always) ever since. Asking price: A minimum offer of $2500, plus $50 Fedex ground shipping within the ConUSA. Free delivery to San Diego area, along the 405 corridor in LA, and perhaps the Bay Area this weekend if I am contacted soon enough. Payment accepted in cash or via Paypal only. Please email me ASAP if you would like to purchase. Please state your firm offer. Some preference will be given to prospective buyers who can pick it up (La Jolla, CA) or to whom I can deliver it right away. If I don't receive an acceptable offer, I will list it on eBay next week. This bike has been heavily upgraded. In fact, the only original part is the moustache handlebars! All the components listed are new/unused, having been ridden just once since installation (except for the cranks, BB, and post): - NEW/UNUSED Chris King headset in "3-D Violet" - Two sets of wheels: A set of NEW/UNUSED custom 650c wheels with Ringlé hubs in "3-D Violet" with matching nipples (28 hole front and 32 hole rear Sun ME14A Rims) which you can see in the photos below. Also included are the original 26" wheels which have been respoked and the hubs regreased (not pictured). - NEW/UNUSED 9-speed shifting: Dura-Ace down-tube shifters are mounted as bar-ends, with 105 front derailleur and Ultegra rear derailleur and chain. - Used Ultegra 9-speed era 170mm cranks and BB with 39/53 rings. (These are the only components on the whole bike, except for the handlebars and seat post, with any miles on them!) - NEW/UNUSED Tektro brakes of unknown type: allow sliding the brake pads up and down six mm's to use either size wheels. - Circa 1985 Dura Ace non-aero brake levers give ideal cable routing with moustache bars (almost NOS condition). Other parts include the original Nitto moustache bars, a 27.0 American Classic seat post, Concor Rolls Due saddle, Michelin tyres, and a 10cm Nitto stem which GP gave me on a visit to Riv HQ. Note: There are two flaws in the paint job: Some paint has flaked off on the very top edge of the seat lug, adjacent to the seat post. Also, there is a bit too much clear coat on the head tube, on the bike's right side, above the lower head tube lug. You can see both of these flaws in the photos, if you look closely. (Note that the seat post is installed to just above the limit line, which is why it looks high or tall.) This gorgeous XO-1 is totally ready to ride as soon as you mount your own pedals! Also, I don't currently have any photos of the stock, original, 26" wheels which are also included. They are with my wheel builder in LA, but I will get them back shortly. http://www.adventurecorps.com/forsale/xo/ Thanks for checking this out! I don't offer it up for sale easily. This bike has a lot of sentimental value to me, but I'd rather that somebody ride the heck out of it, instead of having it on display in my living room. I'm hopeful it will find a new home out there! - Chris Kostman La Jolla, CA Team Bridgestone member: 1992-1994 Rivendell Rider: 1995 to the present (All-Rounder and Roadeo) My Rough Riders: Any Bike, Anywhere Blog: http://www.XO-1.org My events and articles: http://www.adventurecorps.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
