Just returned with this 1983? Specialized Sequoia. A very nice gentleman was helping his 80 year old father sell off his very large and eclectic 35 year collection of bicycles and I found his ad on CL. The story on this one was that it had been purchased new by his mother, ridden sparingly and the put up in the garage after she had an accident on another bike. This seems to be the first time it has seen the light of day since 1983...

The Huret odometer shows a total of 214 miles; the son thought that it had been installed at the point of purchase and reflected the actual mileage on the bike. Easy for me to believe; this bike doesn't have a single scratch or nick on it! Showroom condition. I've owned a few really nicely preserved Vintage bikes, but none like this... It came with a few nice aftermarket pieces (Flickstand, Silca frame pump with a Campy head) as well as a decent set of Kirtland rear panniers that he included for a few extra bucks.

Really happy to own another Sequoia; I owned a 1985 version previously and it was one of the quickest, best handling bikes I've owned. Very happy camper here!
