Seth: I had about 20 boxes of parts, accumulated over the past 28 years of cycling, which I've been going through. They are clearing out nicely, but I am, of course, keeping some things for various build-up projects I have in mind, and some items I just can't part with.
I still have about six more boxes of parts to announce, including all manner of Campy NR and Superbe Pro, plus some Dura Ace AX cranks and pedals, a bunch of saddles, some forks. Also, seven sets of wheels, about 15 stems, maybe eight to ten pair of handlebars. That will probably take 3 or 4 more "garage sales" to clear out. (It would be too overwhelming to inventory, photograph, web-post, announce, and sell it all at once. Plus I don't have space to do all that simultaneously.) Then I have a classic Raleigh and an Alan Carbonio to sell. I may sell my Kestrel 4000, either as a frame and fork or maybe as a complete C- Record bike. Kicking around selling my Ritchey Skyliner tandem, too. Then there's the Cyclart-refurbished 1992 XO-1 which is better than new... Sorry, I think I sound like I am bragging. I apologize. I just love love love bikes. I've been a cyclist since 1982, did RAAM when I was 20 in 1987, and organize cycling events for a living. I was sponsored, getting one to three free bikes every year from 1984 through 1994, plus I also had a lot of parts sponsors. I never throw anything away which still has the ability to be used. I have also collected a lot, attended bike swaps and such, supported companies like Rivendell, Velo- Orange, and Wallbike.com, been given things, bought whole "estates" of bike parts, and such. I hope I don't sound like a pack rat or like I'm rich. I'm neither. I'm just explaining (and helping myself to understand) how I ended up with so many parts to unload. Mainly, this just feels really good to clear out the vast majority of all this stuff. I'll still have a wide selection of bikes to ride when I'm done (I have 15 frames / bikes). I'll probably ride even more, too, since I won't be dealing with, thinking about, and swapping around all these parts, too! Also, practically everything I am offering for sale is actually selling. That means my prices are good, maybe" too low" in some cases, but also that I am making other people happy. I like that. This is basically a win-win-win as far as I am concerned. I appreciate the support and enthusiasm! - Chris Kostman La Jolla, CA On Aug 30, 8:26 pm, Seth Vidal <skvi...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 9:37 PM, XO-1.org Rough Riders > > <adventureco...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello fellow Rivendell Riders.
