Cross-post from BOB list since no one is beating down my door yet... Hi, everyone: Time for me to pass this along. It's nice but I usually end up riding my 650b bikes and I want to free up a little bike/ equipment money.
This is one of the Waterford-built 531 models. If I recall correctly the geometry is: 56.5 tt, 56 st, 72.5 STA, 73.5 STA. The handling is really nice--somewhat Rivendellish/stable but snappier (I don't know how else to describe it). I got a good deal on the bike but then poured some money into it as I am wont to do. New rims (Velocity Synergy); new tires (Grand Bois Cypres, 26mm); new cranks (Stronglight Impact, 170mm, 46/36). The hubs, DT shifters, derailleurs, brake calipers and levers are Superbe Pro or Superbe. Nitto seatpost with some scratches, Origin 8 100mm threadless stem with quill adapter. No pedals but el cheapo plastic saddle included. Nitto Dream bars (42mm) sans tape. There a paint scrape on the top tube that was painted black but that's the only cosmetic issue that I see. The bike shop said the bearings in the hubs might be in need of replacement. I'd much prefer selling this to someone who can meet up with me in Seattle but wanted to give local iBobs first crack. That being said, get in touch if you're interested yet non-local and maybe we can swing it. I don't want to part it out. Drop me a line. Thanks!
