Hey Rob,
Jim Warren from Palos Verdes here. I have some interest, but too many bikes at home already. I know you want cash, but you don't by any chance have any interest in a nice MB-2 from 1993, do you? If that were something you had wanted, we'd have a pretty good trade+cash possibility here. (We could also both avoid shipping when I come up for the Ventura ride!) I'm thinking it would be MB-2 plus cash for the Roadeo (obviously.) The MB-2 is a great bike, but it is my bike that I never ride.

I realize this is a stab in the dark, so no pressure.

If it helps to sweeten the dealf or any of you out there on the edge of purchase, I can throw in the 57mm reach shimano dual pivot brakes, with koolstop inserts, that were on it prior to cleaning up for photos - Rob

Oh boy. My size and the right price.

Well, the frame is the right price at least. But if I bought it the resulting divorce would be very costly!

As described below, this is a great bike that needs to find a new home.  Update to the previous post with pictures here:


I am asking $1200 for the frame fork and Stronglight A9 headset with a replacement set of bearings.  I will install a new cable guide on the bottom bracket and can put on a new clear chain stay protector at your request.

For those curios on how the RCP has held up over the years of riding on the coast, you can see the photo set from when it was new here: 


Thanks for taking a look

I have not been riding my Roadeo at all this year, it has actually been hanging as a frame set since I pirated many of the components off of it for another project.  It is a great bike, but I am at a point where I am thinking of letting it go for the cash flow.  Structurally it is perfect.  There was a mishap with a roof rack clamp and the fork, that was repaired by waterford and is good as new.  The down side of the repair was the clear powder came apart on the fork.  I treated it with T9 regularly, and it only saw fair weather duty her in SoCal until my next project was ready, and there is a bit of surface rust, but nothing deep.  The RCP held up pretty well, but there are also some visible areas of pitting.  The bike is a true candidate for a repaint.

All that considered I am thinking $1200 could get it out of my workspace, you get a great bike, and can get it painted any way you like and still come out hundreds less than a new one

I will be setting my photo studio back up in a couple of days and will shoot a detailed set of the bike if there is any interest.
