I heard all these stories about the CRB running out of stock/not in production anymore..

so i was thinking...how much would you guys be willing to pay for one from ebay (EXCLUDING shipping)...

the thing is that somebody local is selling her CRB (complete bie) for $250 so it would be nice if i could ride it for a while (carefully) then be able to sell it off ebay for the same price (again, excluding shipping)...

how likely is this gonna happen?

thanks guys :)

you've been posting about this bike for a few days. I doubt it's still around at that price.

I would agree. Bikes at that price go fast. I had same problem when I researched it and lost the first deal.

If it fits, buy it. If not, move on.

I bought mine new and had to wait a few weeks. They tossed in two nice saddle bags for my trouble. It's a great bike and one of my favorites.

I bought a CRB frame for my wife and built it up. Only thing I don't like about it is the paint. I can't wait for the winter when it becomes my bike for a bit.

i think the older style is one of the coolest frames around. i would pay top dollar if someone wants to unload one.... ?

If you don't mind the lack of brake bosses, you should look at the Straight Up. Thats one I would love to make into a fixed. Check e-bay here and there., sometimes you can find a complete super cheap.

no i'm really being serious here, since i'm not sure i can go SS for sure so i wanna know that somebody else can 'take care' of it for $230 (perhaps) + full shipping/packing should I decide to get a geared roadie in the future...
