I'm asking $1,700 OBO for my Hans Schneider Signature Series frameset for sale, as built with the following parts:

Frame: HS Signature Series, 56 TT/56 ST

Fork: HS threadless

Bars: Deda Newton Deep Drop 44cm (42 c-c) NEW

Stem: Thompson 120 NEW

Headset: Campy Chorus NEW

Shifters: Campy Chorus 9 spd.

F. Derailleur: Campy Veloce (hey, it works)

R. Derailleur: Campy Chorus

Cables: Campy

Cranks: Campy Record 175-52/41 (I have a 39t ring for you)

Bottom Bracket: Chorus

Brakes: Campy Chorus

Seatpost: Thompson setback NEW

Seat: Specialized Body Geometry NEWish

Hubs/Skewers: Campy Centaur 2007

Spokes: Sapim double butted

Rims: Velocity Escape tubular rims, 36h (the best aluminum rims on the market today)

Tires: Tufo Elite tires (NO PINCH FLATS, EVER!)

Cassette: Chorus 12-23

The frame was built for my friend in the late 1990s with True Temper steel (forget which make, but it preceded OX Platinum). Hans joined the tubes with silver solder and Henry James lugs. It has a pump peg, but no chain hanger. The bike was never laid down, but if you ever do Hans can fix the bike unlike some Taiwanese aluminum or carbon rig that you'll throw away if you wreck it. This is an heirloom bike that WILL outlast you.

I bought the group from Hans when I bought the frame and fork from a friend of ours in August. I had Hans refinish the frame in October, at which time Hans stripped the paint, sanded the frame, re-faced the bottom bracket and headtube, applied clear coat, applied more frame saver in the tubes, and repainted the frame Ferrari red. Hans also built the fork shown in the pictures. The frameset it as good any new frameset that you'd have Hans built for you today, and that would cost $1,800 for the frame and $360 for the fork.

About the group: Hans maintained it with professional care before he sold it to me, and it works flawlessly. Hans also built the wheels back in August. With the tires, the wheelset cost right at $600, and they only have 500 miles on them. I paid $1,300 for new cables, the refinish, the fork, seatpost, stem and headset.

The complete bike AS PICTURED - with pedals and cages - was recently weighed on a Topeak digital scale at Richardson Bike Mart in Frisco, Texas and came out to a svelte 20.5 lbs. In my honest opinion, that's light. If you are a weight weenie, you'd be faster if you bought this bike and lost five pounds than you would if you spend $6,000 and bought a bike that weighs 14.99 lb./6.8 kg (the UCI minimum weight). Hate to tell you that, but it's true!!!

I have a bunch of Campy cassettes that I can throw in to sweeten the deal, but don't forget that you can use ANY 8/9/10 Shimano wheelset with a 9 spd. Shimano or Sram cassette with this bike. I've done it before, and it works fine. Or, you can convert the bike to 10 spd. buy purchasing a right-lever kit from Branford Bike, a 10-speed chain, 10 speed derailleur pulleys and a 10 speed cassette. I'll toss in a 39t inner chainring that you will need to complete the conversion. YOU DO NOT NEED NEW DERAILLEURS to complete the conversion.

I can also include a different pair of Time Equipe pedals than are pictured (Hey, Big Mig Indurain and Pantani won 6 TdFs between them on these pedals).

Asking $1,700 OBO, and I am willing to work with you on shipping and handling. Essentially you are paying for a frameset and getting the rest for free. Sure, lots of the parts are used, but I will swear that they work as good as new.
