Sep 12, 2025Shimano Ultegra 4iii Power Meter
$150 USD4iii PML100-C Power Meter
This is a left-side 4iii power meter on a Shimano FC-R8000 Ultegra crank arm - 175mm.
I rode with this power meter for a few hundered miles on my (recently sold here) Polygon Strattos S8. It worked perfectly every time; not sure what else I could say about it...
Buyer to pay actual shipping cost.

Sep 12, 2025Kona Honzo ST - XL
$1000 USDI bought this as a frame in 2022 and built it up as a singlespeed (hence the remote lockout.) Due to some health issues, I'm told by my docs that my singlespeeding days are behind me. I then added a 12speed drivetrain and rode it a few times (for a total of 120 miles on the frame, per my Strava) and decided that I just like riding my FS bike more than this so I'm letting it go. I have the receipt from the shop where I bought it and haven't registered it w. Kona so you may be able to register it as the new owner for a full warranty (not that you'll probably need it - this is a stout frame.)
Let me know if you want any other pictures/angles - the bike isn't boxed yet. Buyer to pay actual shipping cost via Bikeflights.

Sep 12, 2025Polygon Strattos S8 - XXL
$1400 USDSelling my rarely-used road bike. I bought this in the summer of 2021 and don't ride it enough to justify the garage space it takes up. I don't know how many miles I put on the bike but the drivetrain and tires are the originals and, as you can see from the pics, don't have much wear.
Note that Polygon calls this an XXL but it's a 59cm bike. The geo is here: https://geometrygeeks.bike/bike/polygon-bikes-strattos-s8-2022/

Oct 10, 2021Fuji Tread 1.4 Flat Bar Disc Road/Gravel Bike
$800 USDSelling my 2019 Fuji Tread 1.4 Flat Bar Disc Road/Gravel Bike in size 56cm.
I bought this bike about 3 years ago to have a lightweight, ridgid MTB and also a stand-in road bike. It fills both roles pretty well but I've since lost interest in the gravel aspect and bought a drop-bar road bike so it's time for this one to go. I've made several changes to the stock setup that makes it (IMHO) a lot more enjoyable to ride - have a look at the parts list below. I got the bike home and immediately stripped off the stock drivetrain and installed an SLX 11-42 cassette, XTR Shifter & Deraileur, and a SRAM Rival 1x crankset with a 38T chainring. I will include all of the stock (zero mile) Sora parts as well as a pair of WTB Nano 700x40c tires with good tread for all your gravel dreams. I also replaced the rear hub with a Shimano XT when the OE hub pawls got crunchy. The spokes and nipples are also new DT Swiss.
