The Story:
I just bought this bike back in the early spring with dreams of the Tour Divide and grand adventures to unknown places. Unfortunately a lot of life has happened and gotten between myself and those epic dreams. I am working to finish up medical school and also trying to save a little for my upcoming wedding/honeymoon. I'll be sad to see the bike go, but I know I will have something similar when time and money permit. This bike is awesome for everything from chasing down lycra-clad roadies to loading up for a bikepacking trip to the mountains. It really is the only bike I've owned or seen that is capable of performing in nearly every cycling niche.

The bike has exactly 191 miles on it since I purchased it (thank you Strava) with likely more than half of those on paved roads. Everything runs superb and the bike will be able to pass for new once I finish cleaning it all up. I had the inside of the frame and fork sprayed with Framesaver before it was ever built up and there is a clear frame-saving tape on the bike in any spot where a framebag or chain slap could affect the paint. With the exception of the very end of the cranks, there are no scratches on the frame to the best of my knowledge and surely no dents. The pictures should be able to speak for themselves. I will add more if interested/once I finish cleaning the bike.

EXTRAS included with the sale will be:

2 Salsa Anything Cage HD Racks w/ Salsa Anything straps ($70)
Revelate Designs Gas Tank top tube bag ($55)
Original Rapid Rob 2.2x29" tires
Bontrager AW1 32cx700c tires ($90)

Asking $1600 OBO and we can work out shipping. I also would be more than happy to meet anywhere within reasonable driving distance in the greater Northeast Ohio area. Send me a message if interested. I'll be sure to check back often.
