I first noticed one not too long ago along my work commute. A green single speed conversion in my size. Tired of admiring it from afar, I stopped into the shop that it was always locked up in front of.
Long story short, the owner was not interested in selling it. I left wondering if I’d ever come across another one. Lucky indeed! I’m gathering parts currently, and plan to have it ready for next spring!
All the best luck to you in happening upon a good one in your size, and price range!

Great transaction with @rccardr aka Dr. Cannondale. Great attention to detail. Most difficult part was unpacking the parts.

Thanks to @b dub for a nice Park spoke wrench set and an Eff Ae Gee (bypassing censor) bottom bracket tool. Great to deal with.

Just received my 17t cog (attached to a Suntour Winner FW) from @Steve Whitlatch. No surprises, fast ship, everything easy peasy. But we already knew that. Thanks much, Steve!
Thanks much, Steve!

I don't know if @texaspandj sells anything or not but when I couldn't find stuff to touch up a very difficult color on my Ironman he simply ask for my address and sent me some. I just now discovered this thread or I would have posted this when it happened. Thanks

Kudos to @deux jambes, for leaving the selling price visible after items have sold. That gives an idea of reasonable prices for which other people can sell their items.

Much thanks to @Brewsmith - I just received my Tricolor goodies in the mail up here in Canada, and couldn't be happier.
The 8sp 6401 shifter set, in particular, has eluded me for some time; not only did I snag them here for a great price, but these are even nicer as they sit here in my hand than I would have anticipated.
One of my favourite groups, last piece I needed to complete a set, and @Brewsmith was great to deal with throughout.
Thanks, man!
