https://images.craigslist.org/00808_...n_1200x900.jpg

https://images.craigslist.org/00h0h_...r_1200x900.jpg

Hello,

I am posting this for a friend of mine. He is selling his IF Deluxe hardtail (26" wheels) complete w/XTR, Marzocchi Bomber, Thomson post/stem, CK headset, etc...

He is the original owner; purchased it around 2001/2002. I have bought two bikes from him and I can definitely say that he takes care of his stuff. Always kept indoors.

I didnt measure it myself, but he says it is an XL and has a 22" seat tube.

I can get more pics and info as needed.

The bike is located in Norwood, but with some advanced notice, it can be seen in Boston.

Two 1985 Fat Chance Kickers: His 19.5" / Hers 18" Both Excellent (Sharon)

condition: excellent
make / manufacturer: Fat City Cycles/Fat Chance
model name / number: Kicker
size / dimensions: 19.5" / 18"
more ads by this user

His and Hers Fat Chance Kicker bicycles. Original owners. Meticulously maintained. All original components. Excellent condition. Ridable and functional like the day they were built.

His: 19.5"
Hers: 18"
Measured center of bottom bracket to center of top tube at the seat post.

The components are 95% original, primarily first generation Deore XT (deer head). The cranks, seat posts and pedals are what was available in stock at the Somerville Avenue storefront factory the day we built them.

On His the pedals, tires, and seat post binder were upgraded when Shimano released these as Deore XT components (still have the original components).

Major Fixes: His: A few broken and replaced spokes. New chain. His & Hers: The crank axle collars (these bottom brackets have the pressed-in bearings) have all been replaced this year. His was ridden thousands of miles (though not in the past 20 years), Hers maybe a few hundred. The orange powder coat is starting to peel from His (more than Hers) but there's no rust. Both His and Hers spent their entire lives indoors.

His is the actual "model" used in the 1985 catalog. In the posted photos, you'll see the actual prints and chromes from the photo shoot, used when the catalog was produced and printed.

When we built His and Hers, he decided to affix the older decals to these frames (the Balloon Font logo). Look closely and you'll notice the new logo is used on the catalog page but the downtube has the older logo. Sorry, he really liked the traditional look.

The memorabilia and bicycles are part of our personal collection. 'He' served as the Fat City marketing communication consultant from 1983-1985, and continued the collection in subsequent years as the brand began to take off. There's the Chris Chance Cycles first catalog of road bicycles. The direct mail piece announcing the Kicker, prepared for dealers. Yo Eddy team jersey. Even the first Ritchey catalog from California builder Tom Ritchey. It's a great chronology of the Fat City Cycles marketing communication story.

Other odd items include the installation instructions from the box the Shimano Deore XT Derailleur Set and cantilever brakes came from.

(Also in our personal collection but not shown: Original "shark fin" chainstay protector in the original packaging; Bell V1 Pro (the first purpose made mountain biking helmet; early black and white Chouinard Equipment Climbing catalogs from 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985 (before Yvon Chouinard -- founder of Patagonia -- sold the climbing hardware business to Black Diamond Equipment, plus more).

Not looking to make a killing on this collection, just find someone who appreciates and respects what these items represent. Ideally you're interested in the entire lot.

Serious inquiries only, please. Thank you.

De Rosa SLX 61 cm for $600

https://richmond.craigslist.org/bik/6153659711.html

Pretty sure this is one I tried to buy last winter for $500 but had trouble meeting up because of a snowstorm, allowing the seller to develop cold feet. Anyway, I just bought a De Rosa that's better sized for me so here ya go.

Not how I'd build it up, but I give the seller a solid B- for trying to think outside the box, sorta.

Frame looks mint.

An awesome, classic bike. Very low miles, great for a flat-bar conversion, commuting, or owning a classic piece. Downtube shifters are still smooth. Bar tape is crisp. Wheels are true and pedals clips still hold fast. Bike has been stored indoors for it's whole life, ridden very little, and is just being sold to free up space. Tires are okay, will soon need replacement. ~25in reach (center of seat to handlebar), ~32 in standover, ~21 in seatube. Good for someone about 5'9", give or take about 4 inches. Text is okay, email is preferred. Sale includes frame mounting pump, in matching colors. Bikes front tire blew out (both were very old) so will be sold without a front tire.

Dunno where this falls in Miyata's timeline or hierarchy, but I know there are plenty of people who love their touring bikes, so I pass it along. This one is in Indy. I'm not willing to go check it out for you. :)
