Feb 10, 2026Transition spur
$3000 USDPurchased new in the fall of 2023 when I moved to Ithaca and I have not ridden it much since. It has upgraded schwalbe magic Mary and big betty super gravity soft tires and x01 derailleur and shifter. It also has an upgraded i9 stem in the shortest length they come in and a e13 higher rise handlebar from stock. It makes it a really fun bike! Pedals great and feels playful. I have ridden it so little it is still on the original pads and original chain, showing more than 75% life left. There are 3 tiny paint chips on the down tube from gravel. Make me an offer!

Oct 20, 2025Berd Hawk30 wheels w/ less than 50 miles
$1499 USDI bought these wheels to use as a lighter weight, more pedally set of wheels but right after purchasing them had a bit of a life change and have not ridden them since. I have 3 rides on them, totaling less than 50 miles but realistically it is probably not even 30 miles. I went out 3 times. Based on that, I am reinstalling my aluminum wheels that my transition spur came with and selling these. They are centerlock, xd driver on talon hubs. I used alcohol ink to dye the spokes. If you do not like the green, you can dye them any color you would like! They come with the disector/rekon combo that came on my transition spur. These tires have somewhere around 2-300 miles on them showing minimal signs of wear. They are 2.4s. Make me an offer!

Nerding Out: You're Measuring Sag Wrong, But That's OK
@thustlewhumber: You must weight your feet like I do. Go 30% front and rear. Trust me, it's awesome. More sag in the fork, with more volume reduction is a great small bump eating machine.

Jan 17, 2025Brackish Clay PRICE DROP
$2000 USDBrackish Clay gravel bike with room for 50mm tires.
This is my personal bike that I took to bike shows, but am building a different style of bike now so this one has to go to fund future projects!
I have a 36in inseam and like a decent amount of handlebar drop. If you have a 34in inseam and like a closer to level handlebar to seat, this would also work for you. Suitable for riders in the 5'10"-6'3" range. I am 6'2" with long legs and don't like to be stretched out.
I built this bike as a prototype to test slacker head tube angles on gravel bikes. I've ridden it approximately 1500 miles. The chain is halfway worn. The cassette, and chainring are still in great shape with no skipping. Shifting is consistent with upgraded jagwire slick polished cables.
About the bike:
This is a filament wound carbon fiber frame using 3D printed aluminum lugs. The geometry is as follows:
380mm reach
660mm stack
560mm top tube
69° HTA
73° STA
430mm chainstay
70mm bb drop
560mm seat tube length
enve adventure fork that is cut for, depending on the stem, up to 7mm of spacers (due to the stack height, spacers aren't needed to raise the handlebar.) I also have a brand new uncut enve gravel fork I can install for extra, if you would like to have spacers
t47 wheels manufacturing bb
Paragon machine works snapring derailleur hanger
zs/ec44 cane creek 40 headset
salsa cowbell 40cm handlebar (I also have 42cm, 44cm, and 46cm bars I can swap)
Campagnolo Ekar build - 10-44t cassette
Brackish cycles 36t chainring (can provide a 34t instead if you would like.)
Easton EA90 170mm cranks (can swap for easton EC90 175mm cranks, and can include the original 175mm Ekar cranks and bb if you would like, but the Ekar crank does not have a chainring)
Light bicycle WR40 rims with flyweight in the front and a standard weight rim in the back.
Bitex rear hub
Shutter precision dynamo front hub
supernova e3 triple rear dynamo light
Supernova E3 pro 2 front light
I have an FSA SLK 0 offset seatpost or a 20mm offset deda elementi super0 seatpost I can include
I'd like to keep the SQlabs 612R carbon seat that is on it. I have a few seats I can include or I can sell without the seat.
Currently has Pirelli cinterato 50mm tires that have less than 200 miles on them. I can swap these for 38C pathfinder pros if you would prefer.
160mm rotor front, 140mm rotor rear
wolf tooth seatpost clamp
80mm transx suspension stem
The biggest issue with the bike is that, in it's prototype nature, the middle top tube bag bolt is slightly out of alignment. That being said, a strap style top tube bag, or poking a hole with a hot screw driver through the bag will sort that issue out.
It does have some scratches, it is a bikepacking/gravel bike after all. However, overall it is in great shape. There is no gouges or severe issues. The fork has some polishing from my Kuat rack.
Let me know of any questions, I'm happy to try to change the build to your fit numbers if I have parts I can swap from my stash. I have it listed for the same price I sell just the frames!
Just to be clear, this is a used prototype frame. It will not come with any form of warranty. Even though it is my personal bike.
