How this post is on-topic (sort of): I'm selling my Curtlo touring/ trails/commuting bike because I've just acquired a used Rivendell All- Rounder. I try to own only two bikes at a time, and my other right now is an AHH, which is a little too similar to this Curtlo (59cm c-t frame for 700c wheels).
How the Curtlo bike itself is on-topic (sort of): Several components were purchased from RBW -- Nitto seatpost, stem, handlebars; Brooks saddle; Sugino crankset, IRD canti brakes, Deore rear derailer, MKS touring pedals. Specs below, and photos on my Flickr photostream -- ftrentmeyer -- or try http://tinyurl.com/4jtway. The nice custom-built frameset alone was about $1,350 when new in 2006, and this has a very decent overall component set on it. I was asking $1,700 for the complete bike as described below, with buyer paying shipping. But now I'm asking $1,550, and I'll pay shipping in CONUSA. Or contact me offlist and make me a reasonable offer; I'm a reasonable guy (really). Made by Doug Curtis in 2006 using True Temper OX Platinum tubing, Columbus stays, Richard Sachs NewVex lugs and fork crown, and a Richie-issimo bottom bracket shell. Seat tube c-c is 58cm, c-t more like 59cm; top tube is 58cm c-c; chain stays are 45cm. Stand-over height at mid-point of the top tube is 32.75" with current tires. 135mm rear spacing. Campagnolo Chorus headset. Two-tone blue and gold, tough powdercoat finish. Saddle is a lightly used (but slightly scuffed up) Brooks honey B17 Champion Special with copper rails on a Nitto "frog" S-83 seat post. IRD cantilever brakes. Nitto moustache handelbars, Shimano road brake levers, Nitto dirt-drop stem, Suntour power ratchet friction shifters. Sugino XD triple crankset, MKS touring pedals, Deore rear derailer, 8-speed (12-32, I think) cassette. Mavic A719 36-hole rims, Deore hubs, and lightly used Conti Travel Contact 700x37 tires. Thanks for looking. -- Forrest Meyer (Iowa City) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
