Re: [RBW] FS: Fly 6 Rear View Camera/Taillight

2022-01-08 Thread Craig Montgomery
Bike touring, especially in the backcountry, is truly joyful, in the purest
meaning of the word. Doing an all-nighter and making it to the top of Mt.
Whitney in time for the sunrise, and holding my daughter right out of the
womb are comparable in my experience also.

 Rear-facing camera captures a continuous loop of video, great for
 helping resolve disputes about who hit whom.

 Fits standard Riv-style seat posts. Also includes adapters for those
 super-rare airfoil ‘posts.

 $45 shipped to you in the CONUS.

Hi - Here are the Shimano SPD pedals still available.

1.    XTR M-970 light black NEW = $145
2.    M-959 light grey NEW = $225
3.    A-515 road single-sided, grey NEW = $50
8.    XTR M-970 light black not-quite-near-new = $95
10.   M-535 black exc. = $32
11.   M-959 light grey VG = $80
12.   M-747 silver VG = $37

Thanks for looking!

Hello folks.

Before we go any further, I’d like to define my condition ratings for 
pedals. Since pedals suffer more cosmetic damage than any other metal 
part on our bikes, a scruffy pedal with silky springs and bearings 
could be near-new and is certainly at least excellent. Please keep 
that thought in mind.


As with most of my sales, all prices here include shipping in CONUS 
for buyers who cover the Paypal fee. Photos available on request, and 
questions quickly answered.


Oh yes, all new pedals come with cleats, the basic Shimano SH-51 
cleats. And all of the pedals listed here take SH-51 cleats, even the 
single-sided SPDs meant for road use.


Thanks for looking!

Dave, /who believes the M-747 pedals (number 12 in the list below) 
were the first truly great mountain SPD pedals from Shimano/

3.    A-515 road single-sided, grey NEW = $50

Hi Riv-folk,
I have two 700 c wheel sets available (Link to CL post with pics below)

1) The first set is built up with Velo Orange rims and Schmidt Son 28 Dyno 
Hub front, and Grand Bois hub on rear. Both are 36-spoke, 100/130 spacing, 
22 mm outer width, high polish. Tires are Compass Snoqualmie Pass 44 mm 
front and Stampede Pass 32 mm on rear. These have very low mileage, lightly 
used, true and in excellent condition. I bought them for a Rambouilliet but 
then regrettably sold the Ram too soon.
--$400 /set.

2) The second set is built up with H Plus Son rims, Shimano 105 hubs front 
and rear, 32 spoke, 100/130 spacing, 22 mm outer width. These are low 
mileage, true, low use, with some minor cosmetic dimples on the high polish 
finish, that could easily be buffed out.
--$175/set

Shipping approx. ~$40 conus

Please feel free to message me with questions, inquiries, request,
