My friend has an old specialized road frame and fork.  It measures 48cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the seat cluster.  the measurement to the top of the seat clamp is 52cm  The top tube is 53cm.   



it comes with a traditional headset.  The BB is english-threaded.  I assume the seat tube diameter is 27.2mm.

I think my friend wants $50 for it.  

He also has wheels.

Looking around these days, it's hard to find kids bikes.  It's the global bike shortage.  Furthermore, I think everyone understands that as kids hit puberty, their growth spurts are impossible to guess.  I think kids realize this as well.  So long as you can build up a bike, I'd imagine a kid will be reasonably happy. 

Looking around the web, it seems that finding derailleurs, chains, cassettes, seat posts, saddles are easy for 9- and 10- speeds.  Cranks are a bit harder, especially short ones.  Integrated shifters are harder still.  For integrated shifters, it seems like the cheap and reliable thing to do is a brand called MicroShift.  

My friend is Jason. His email is chupick@gmail.com.  Tell him I sent you.

I have an extra speedsleev Ranger Small up for grabs if anyone wants it! Fits a 25-32c tube, C02, Multitool, and tire levers no problem. Probably too small for mountain or gravel tubes but good for tubeless

I've had some real luck on Facebook Marketplace (and any buy and sell groups on there). Almost everything bike related I've listed on FB in the past year has sold literally the same day. 

This Saturday is the Bike Jumble in Washington Park (Park Slope/ Gowanus-ish). I think it runs from 10-4!

Team,

I'm lazy and need to offload some bikes so thought I would give a quick post here to see if there is any interest prior to putting together a larger ad and posting elsewhere (where do people sell bikes these days?):

All are meant to fit me - 5'-8" or so.

Mid 80's Trek Elance 300. Old school steel with some new parts. DT shifters. Would be a great commuter or budget rando rig. $300

Redline Conquest CX bike - aluminum, size 54 or 52. All ready to go for a first cx bike. $500

Salsa Fargo - size M. Older aluminum model. I bought this off eBay and never put it together. Everything is in great shape visually. If there is interest I will put it together and make sure it all works. $800

Let me know if you want more info, pictures, etc...
