I'm selling my DEAN road bike. Here's a shot of it with its old saddle; it now has a Bonty Race Lux saddle (shush, I dig them) and no pedals or bottle-cages:



Here's the component list, copy/pasted from Velospace:

Frame:
1990's era Reynolds 853 steel DEAN
Handlebars and Stem:
Bontrager Select bars; CONTROLTECH stem
Fork and Headset:
Easton EC30 fork; Shimano 600 headseat
Front wheel:
Shimano Tiagra hub; Mavic CXP-23 rim
Rear wheel:
Shimano Tiagra hub; Mavic CXP-23 rim
Crankset and Bottom bracket:
Shimano 105 cranks, double; Shimano sealed BB
Saddle and Seat Post:
Bontrager Race Lux saddle (not what's pictured); CONTROLTECH seatpost
Pedals and Chain:
No pedals; Shimano chain
Cog/Gearing et cetera:
42/53 up front, 12-25 9 speed out back. Shimano Dura Ace downtube shifters with Shimano 105 derailleurs.

The top-tube measures 60cm from center of seat-tube to center of head-tube, and the seat-tube measures 58cm from center of bottom bracket to center of top-tube. If you need any other measurements I'll get them for you.

Why am I selling this fine steed you might ask? Well, first off, I don't ride it. Secondly, it's collecting dust. Thirdly, I'd rather have the cash than a bike in the garage that I don't ride and is collecting dust. Finally, I've discovered that personally, it's the *look* of DT shifters that I really love; nothing catches my eye like a classically-styled bicycle. In practical riding situations, however, *I* far prefer the brifter approach.

I'm asking $800 for it. This is located in Southern California; pick-up would be required, I don't want to deal with shipping.
