3 daysHalo/Shimano handbuilt 29" wheelset
$350 USDhad a request for a budget wheelset and the buyer backed out, so listing here.
This is NOT fancy by any means, but it is a very solid wheelset and should be a nice wheelset for someone.
Halo Vortex 29" rims - trail/enduro designation, with a 33mm inner width which should suit 2.3-2.8" tires very nicely. Brand new.
2.0/1.7 double butted black spokes all the way around with silver brass nipples.
Hubs are take-offs from another bike, never ridden, but a little dirty from storage/moving, Shimano HB-MT400 front hub, and Shimano FH-MT510-B rear hub. Again, NOT FANCY, but these are solid options with the cup/cone system that with proper maintenance will last a very long time. The freehub engagement is also the classic Shimano system, not the newer engagement system that has a longevity problem. Microspline for Shimano 12-speed microspline setups. Centerlock disc brake mount.
Rims retail ~$90/rim, hubs are another ~$35-50/hub, plus spoke/nip cost.
I'm selling this basically at cost and shipping price is included in the $350 price.
15x110 thru axle front
12x148 thru axle rear

Mar 9, 2023Stooge Rambler, 54, Green, 2 wheelsets
$1750 USDThis is nearly a complete build, just add your own brakes and you will be rolling.
Frame is brand new but did suffer a small paint chip on the head tube in transit, but it should acquire many more scratches from riding! Size 54 in the Green colorway.
Will come with TWO wheelsets! Both handbuilt by me, both have the same hubs front and rear, fully serviced, in good shape. The 700c set is a pair of older Bontrager RaceXLite's with brand new Vittoria Mezcal 700x44 tires setup tubeless. The 27.5+ is brand new spokes/rims - RaceFace AR40 offset, wrapped in Teravail Honcho/Ehline 2.6/2.5" tire combo. The Honcho is brand new, the Ehline was lightly ridden previously and in excellent shape. These are also setup tubeless with fresh Orange Seal.
Drivetrain! Older Truvativ Noir Carbon GXP crankset, Works Components 32 tooth oval chainring, Sram XX1 Chain, PG1150 10-42T cassette. These are all in good condition as they were also lightly ridden but a very timid/cautious rider.
Shifting duties are taken care of with a brand new Apex 1 rear derailleur, paired with a TT500 bar-end shifter that has been mated with a Paul SRAM Thumbie at the handlebar for the cruiser style. This is actually an amazing setup and feels very nice to shift.
Velo Orange Seine handlebar, very comfortable position.
Lock-on grips - "faux leather" appearance.
RaceFace zero offset seatpost.
EC90 saddle.
Crank Bros 50/50 pedals.
Add your own brakes of choice and you will be rolling.
As pictured it has my saddle height of 775mm. This is a very upright/comfortable position for me, I could see lengthening the stem a touch or even converting it over to a drop bar setup (as the Rambler is great for both!). I have left the shift cable/housing long on purpose so that you can make whatever changes necessary and only need to shorten the line rather than replacing it.
Extras - Also will come with extra replaceable dropouts as well as the bar-end shifter pod for the SRAM TT-500 lever if you want to go back to the drop bar setup.
Happy to keep some small parts (saddle/post/pedals?) if they aren't to your liking.

@ATXZJ: I've been looking for an EX-2 grouper for so long. Pretty much given up at this point.
