<blockquote rel="fatallightning">Want power? Low on money. You buy! JP's ex wired SRM, soon to be my ex SRM.

172.5 arms, two wiring harnesses, two chargers, the sync cable fresher SRAM red rings, not the Rotors pictured, a so so bottom bracket (square taper campy), wired PCV in blue (matchy matchy!). The dovetail mount broke in a crash, so it was glued permanently. Walk your laptop over to your bike, you can manage that right?

$500

Also, selling my Tiemeyer Track. 56TTL. Frame/Alpina Track fork/Cane Creek 40 headset. Awesome metallic silver finish, 6061 alloy with Ti dropouts. One or two pinpoint paint imperfections. Some inner chainstay rub on the NDS from a slipped kilo start. No dents, never crashed. Always a race bike, never locked up. As seen in Red Hook, NY States, and other priceless street cred situations. Full album here: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/fatallightning/library/tiemeyer

$750

ALSO:

I believe, Aerosports Trialist track disc. No lockring provision, corrugated aluminum with carbon topsheet, I think. Awesome bearings, good Conti Giro glued. True laterally and up and down. Some shallow dents, crappy spray job and some splinters by the valve hole. Swirl is a decal. Stiff and fast.

$200

Accepting that it's a potentially disastrous idea, I've decided to build my next wheelset.

Anyone have hubs or rims for sale?

Hubs: I would like straight-pull, 24 rear, 20 front.

Rims: same holes, I want tubeless-ready (there's really only a couple of rims, most of which are 2014, that meet this requirement, but I just thought I'd ask).

For those who aren't on Acme Bicycle's mailing list, there's an equipment swap happening this Sunday from 4-8. E-mail pasted below:

HOME BIKE FITTING ABOUT CONTACT

It has been an amazing two years here at the studio. On top of fitting hundreds of cyclists and creating some pretty amazing bikes, I have also forged many strong friendships and partnerships. The strongest partnership established has been with TriBy3 Performance Coaching, we are now splitting the space at 597 Degraw Street, and have recently renovated. To celebrate this, and ACME's 2 year anniversary, we are having an open open house and gear swap this Sunday from 4-8PM.

I hope to see you then!

Jonathan

GEAR SWAP: 4-6PM

Upgrade your used, but still functioning and clean bike gear by swapping with others. We will have tables set up for you to display your items, you can arrange a trade or cash deal with others. All unclaimed gear must be removed at the end of the gear swap.

Please e mail me at jonathan@acmebicycleco.com if you are planning to bring gear so we can allocate space.

CLOTHING DRIVE:

Bring your old cycling and triathlon clothing along, we will collect it and send a donation to the Cadence Cycling Foundation in Philadelphia. Your old gear will have a great second life, helping a child or teen from Philadelphia, Camden or Wilmington, DE build a love for cycling and fitness.

REFRESHMENTS: 6-8PM

No celebration could thrive without free food and booze, this will be no different. PLUS, check out the great new renovation, learn a bit more about Bike Fitting or custom bikes from Guru and Parlee, chat with TriBy3 about coaching services, check out the Computrainer Multi-Rider setup, and chat with your fellow cyclists.

RSVP:

Please RSVP through the event Facebook page

or send me an e mail at jonathan@acmebicycleco.com

Book your bike fitting now!

Well...I bought these from Ergott wheels thinking I would ride some fixie or single speed...but I have not.

These wheels can be used to convert any road bike to a fixie. The wheels use White Industries ENO-Centric rear hub. It has a 17 tooth freewheel and a 17 tooth fixie (both White Industries) Stans ZTR 29er rims = uber wide. If you want a nice set of track wheels, fixed gear wheels, single speed wheels...come get em.

Selling these for $300...the hubs alone will set you back that coin.

Don't let some Portland hipster snag these on Ebay !!!

Ooh, so spokey

Jeffrey White

Jan 21, 2014 at 09:18 PM

Sadly, the wheels are still for sale. My use case has no need for an eccentric hub.

twoyacks

Jan 21, 2014 at 10:04 PM

Somebody BUY these....I need to finance a power meter...I could move em on the ebay...but shipping wheels sucks it.

Andrew Da Silva

Jan 22, 2014 at 02:02 AM

I would... but i already have a white industries Eno eccentric hub collecting dust. I must say though, any one looking to build a single speed cross bike, this is a great option!

John Sanderson

Jan 22, 2014 at 06:41 AM

Parted it out, offering the frameset only!

CANNONDALE SYSTEM SIX AMERICA'S DAIRYLAND 60cm

Mix of Carbon / Aluminum. These frames are discontinued. Fork was replaced by me with a stock Cannondale fork matching the same rake as the original.

Excellent used condition.

Talk to me -- I want to get this outta here. :-) too eager to build it back up as a pure "race bike"... which it is built for.

$300

If anyone is looking for a new wheelset, my good friend has a set of never used brand new Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLRs (2013) for sale. $1500.

Mavic Cyclone Bib Tights new with tags, size small.

http://www.mavic.us/apparel-road-men-short-bottoms-cyclone-bib-tight

$75.

I got 'em on ebay. Can't believe that I'm actually too short/thin for the smalls, but apparently that's the way Mavic rolls. To fit these, you probably need to be a few inches taller than me or 10lbs or more heavier. Maybe both.

I wanted them as a winter tight. They have windproof panels all the way down the front and on the butt and down much of the back of the legs to the knee. Not sure if they're toasty enough for those 20-degree days, but I'm pretty sure they'll work for then and/or on cool, rainy days.

I'll have this up here for a few days, then to the Bay.

I need eBay help please.

A prospective buyer has asked if he can come pick up the bike and avoid the shipping charge. This sounds like a great thing to me, but I have never sold on eBay before and don't know the logistics. Will eBay allow me to not charge for the shipping that is listed on the auction?

You can contact me directly with any advice: stokes@nyu.edu

I believe that the buyer can modify the payment amount with a discount
during the checkout process.

Best,

@dstokes. If the person is coming to collect the bike - simply ask them to pay cash.

Rick Perner

Feb 01, 2014 at 12:05 AM

@dstokes

The guy may still want to pay with paypal not cash as paypal provides a buyer a measure of protection covering the transaction eg refunds for something significantly different than what was described, hidden defect etc etc....and that's not at all an unreasonable request.

Cash or paypal you'll still be on the hook with ebay for the seller's fees ie listing cost, final value fee which is a percentage of the sale price and whatever you were going to charge for shipping. So even though they'll be picking it up you'll still be paying a little bit ( a couple of dollars at most probably more like pennies) just as if you were shipping it. Ebay wi'll deduct whatever you owe via paypal.

Personally I hate the hassle of shipping so I view local pickup as a terrific thing

Brendan Rigby

I think before the Auction closes you may be able to edit it and add "local pickup" as a delivery option so that the online transaction accurately reflects what you plan to do.
