Apr 1, 20241991 Marin Eldridge Grade 19.5”
$500 CADJust the best paint that’s ever been on a bicycle. The yellow is so bright almost neon. And sometimes pinkbike image quality transfer isn’t great but the orange spatter paint on top of the yellow is very orange and stands out so much in person.
This bike is all original except for pedals, grips and tires.
Pedals and grips are yellow, you’re welcome.
Tires are a pretty generic tire but have roughly 30m of riding on them haha. I just put them in and rode it to take this picture. They are generic but they are tan wall, which is scientifically proven to be probably faster and definitely cooler than an all black tire.
Drivetrain is Deore DX triple. Considering it’s all original, including the cables, it shifts extremely well for being 35 years old.
I had planned on doing a gravel restomod with this and making it 27.5(which there is clearance in the frame and fork for) but after I bought this I realized it’s just too small for me. Or at least I would have had to put taller bars on and it would be such a shame to get rid of the matching paint handlebars.
19.5” frame so kinda in between medium and large. I’m 6’2 and I did actually put hundreds of km on this. But the seat was very high and bars felt low. Ideally suited to 5’8-6’ probably.
If I had a garage I wouldn’t be selling this, it would just be a loaner bike for friends. But I don’t have room for a bike that doesn’t fit properly right now so it’s got to go.
Open to trades but really only interested in a couple things right now.
I’d trade it for a high end bmx wheelset. Preferably female axle front and back
I’d also trade for a L or XL hardtail mtb frame. Preferably steel and preferably with a tapered head tube.

Apr 1, 202458cm Steel Raleigh Furley Gravel bike
$650 CADRaleigh Furley
Awesome two tone blue
Reynolds Chromoly
I have this set up single speed. Has a hanger and everything to run a 1x set up should you want.
Steel is real
Disc brakes, 40mm Maxxis tires.
Yeah I dunno, I actually love this bike, ride quality of the steel is amazing.
I had fenders on it at one point with 35 tires on it. There is plenty of room for the 40’s in the frame but it’s really tight to make fenders fit over them.
Mechanical brakes
Wheels roll very well, bottom bracket is in good shape.
Currently there is no bar wrap on it. I do have a roll if you’d like me to put it on. But bar tape is so specific for some people I figured I’d leave it off in case you wanted to switch it anyway.
Definitely more of a road bar than gravel.
I do have a set of salsa cowchippers I could sell if you’re looking for more width and flare, but if you happen to be looking for a single speed for road training these bars are still a good bar.
Price is firm just because I do love this bike.
But I have a drop bar mountain bike that I ride more and I live in a condo so space is priority. But don’t love the idea of parting with this for less than asking price.
I would consider trades for:
A) a high end 20” bmx wheelset, preferably female axle
B) an L or XL mountain bike frame, preferably steel, preferably tapered head tube.

Jun 10, 2023Salsa Journeyman with brand new 1x12 drivetrain
$1200 CADLarge salsa journeyman all-road / gravel / bikepacking rig, I think they call it 57cm
I have absolutely no “need” for this bike haha. It’s a great frame, carbon fork and has a boatload of new parts. By new parts I mean, everything marked new is BRAND NEW. I did a 2km test ride around the neighbourhood.
Aluminum Salsa frame, internally routed cables and 3 bottle mounts
Carbon salsa fork, has triple mounts on fork legs for all your bikepacking cargo needs
Frame and fork are used and have cosmetic blemishes but is in amazing shape
SRAM NX groupset is BRAND NEW:
NX cranks, 170mm
NX shifter and derailleur
11-50t cassette
32t chainring
sram dub bottom bracket
Sram 12spd chain
Brakes are also brand new
Brand new TRP Spire mechanical brakes, absolutely the best mechanical brake on the market and outperforms several hydraulic set ups I’ve had so I put them on everything now.
Accompanied by new shimano rotors.
Wheels are 700c sealed bearing WTB wheels that came stock on a surly bridge club.
Tires are 700x50 Panaracer Gravel kings that are used but still in 7/10 shape.
Seat, no idea, I’ve had it forever, it’s comfy and it looks cool.
Seatpost and pedals are literally the only ones I had in the parts bin for this bike. Post is well used but is a decent Easton post.
Ok the handlebars, these are made to the exact same dimensions as the Crust Jungle Runner bar. During the pandemic they were always sold out of them so I finally got tired of waiting and I actually made these. They are high quality 4130 0.059 wall chromoly and I’ve been a CWB certified welder for 20ish years so they are well crafted(they also have a few thousand rough km on them, they are safe)
Because finding straight gauge tube is easy they are 22.2mm which is why I’m using a Salt bmx stem.
Any other questions please ask.
I might consider a trade for a really high end complete bmx with a minimum 21.25 top tube.
Price is gonna be pretty firm here because I kinda want to put riser bars on it and a 27.5 wheelset and keep it haha.

Apr 9, 2023Clément X-Plor 35x700 set of 2
$40 CADJust bought a bike used and these are on it. I’m slow and like a little wider tire haha.
I actually years ago rode these on a road bike and loved them.
Old owner said 200km is the max on these. And honestly that looks about right. Some wear and a little dirt but basically full tread left.

Apr 9, 2023Clement(now Donnelly) LAS 33x700 new
$60 CADBought a bike. Old owner bought these for it but had never put them on. I already find the 35’s on it to be a little slim for me.
(The 35’s will be posted in another ad, not he same tire, they are a Clement X-plor)
I put them as new with tags, the tags aren’t actually there, sorry, but they clearly have never been installed.
