Mar 27, 202358cm Rodeo Labs Flaanimal
$3200 USDPurchased new from Rodeo Labs in December of 2019. The geo numbers and specs listed on their website are the same as the one listed here.
If you don't know about the bike or don't feel like going to the website it's a pretty standard 58cm gravel bike, fits 45's, has sliding dropouts, is belt drive compatible, has a T47 bottom bracket, and this one has a dropper (cable fed through the DI2 port), and most importantly IS STEEL. Force CX1, carbon cranks, carbon bars, and carbon wheels, this thing rips!
-Paint is in 6/10 quality with a few nicks and rub marks throughout (all visible in pictures). -No dents or dings.
-Wheels roll straight and true
-shifting is crisp/working well
-handlebar tape is due to be replaced but I figured I'd leave that to the new owner in the event they wanted to move the hoods or dropper lever around.

Ah steel full suspension, such a forbidden fruit. Gotta make an opportunity to throw a leg over this one!

Results: Keegan Swenson & Hannah Otto Win Leadville 100 2022
6 hours. Insane. I looked on wiki for the FKT and it listed
-2015
-Alban Lakata, Austria
-5:58:35*
Out of all the times in the list this was the only one with an asterisk. I'm not sure if this mean it was a course change or what. Either way impressive effort by Hannah and Keegan!

Jun 14, 2022Large Ibis Ripley 130/120 Fox Factory bike yoke XT/SLX
$4500 USDLarge Ripley. Build is exactly as it comes from the factory, e.g. fox factory suspension, bike yoke dropper, XT 4 pot brakes, SLX group. Buyer pays shipping or local pickup. Make an offer.
Only differences are
-carbon Ibis bars
-some new specialized grips
-specialized saddle
-2.3 DHF on front nobby nic on back.
This bike didn't see many miles, my wife preferred her hardtail. Chain/drivetrain wear is maybe 50%. That being said we did pack it up very nicely in an Evoc travel bag only to have TSA open it up, move everything around to where it got scratched up, and denied all responsibility when we told them about it later.
There are a few ugly scratches on the bike, they are all cosmetic from either the brake rotor or handlebar rubbing against the bike, this bike did NOT suffer any sort of impact related accident.
The only scratches that are worth noting are on the air shaft side stanchion. To this point there hasn't been any issues with the fork.

10/10 Clickbait on the derailleur hanger that looks like a 1950's Chrysler hood ornament.

Yeah, 1x12 solves a lot of problems (especially for full suspension designs) but longevity isn't one of them. Frame looks dope tho!
