Anyone holding on to a set of Kelly TakeOff mounts, or something comparable?
I’m building a drop bar bike for my spouse, who is adamant about not using bar
end shifters. I already have a set of short reach brake levers for her wee
hands. Now I just need a way to mount shifters inboard of the hoo

Darn, now I have to Google Ken Rogers Racing Trike.

Oh, forgot, this isn't the iBoblist. The *'s are a not-entirely-serious
(but not-entirely facetious, either) snipe at the iBoblist moderators who
many years ago judged the trike to be off-topic!

FWIW, I've had several bikes and frames other pedaled contraptions packed

I don't blame anyone for not being willing to ship. I have my own
hesitations and they have not worked out well when I tried in the past.
I've certainly appreciated that others have shipped to me though...or in
one case, drove from a couple states away to deliver a bike to my house.

$80 shipped CONUS.
Gonna splurge on the Juniper ridges.

I should know by now to highlight the "death fork" in every thread that
mentions my 614. My bad. Sounds like I should bite the bullet and replace
it before I kill anyone should I sell it.

There are literally tons of candidates out there. I'm old and graying, and

Hi all,
I'm looking to trade--or sell--some lightly used 700/42 Cazaderos. Probably
ridden between 200-300 miles, good condition.
I'd trade for something that's around 50mm, such as any of the G-ones (I
haven't sorted through the different versions), 50mm Cazaderos, or
something less knobby.
I think that it behooves seller/packer/shipper to make use of the easily
videoed condition of the bike, the degree of protections employed and the
intact exterior of packaging when shipping as part of a transaction.
Likewise, as a receiver/buyer/unpacker, there is a powerful bit of proof
that i
Thanks for all the interest, the bike is sold!

Thank you all for your comments - it's clear that I'm not alone. I guess
the decision is whether to try out self-packing or sell locally.

Wow so many sweet looking bikes and so many great ideas... this thread is
paying off in spades and has definitely broadened my eye. Lovely.
That Mercian is a heartstopper. Wowzer. I couldn't do it. I'm not worthy.
You should keep her, for sure.

I agree that to do it right, you have to do it yourself, IF you have the
