There is a headbadge under the rattlecan. The DT decal say something like, "QUAS." Let me see where it's at. I might be relatively close to there today. Maybe I will contact the seller and take better photos for the forum.

The decals are applied over the paint, likely by a previous owner. I thought it might be a Raleigh, but the lugs and fork crown don't work out to a model I'm familiar with, and there's no obvious heron headbadge. The only clues so far are the obscured headbadge, lugs, crown, and braze-ons. There's still a derailleur hanger but no shifter mounts which points to a stem shifter setup. It was probably a good candidate for fixie duty.

Not My Bike - Too Distant For Me To Facilitate

Tange chromoly frame, Selle San Marco seat - $50 (Apex)

Posted 2020-02-14 07:19



"Just about everything you need to build a bike. 1980s Tange steel frame in good condition, good condition wheels with very little use, handlebar, tubes, headset, crank, etc. What you say in the picture is what you get."

This Trek 5000 OCLV carbon has been sort of hanging out on FB Marketplace for at least a week or two for $250. Either the seller hasn't removed it or market is slow. Seems like a really fair price unless I'm missing some info on these... (probably not quite vintage either but w/e)

Thank you for thinking of me!

It is an amazing deal for someone even without the original fork (turn up on eBay regularly) if the frame is intact, but I'm not going to be driving back to the Cape for a while, I hope! I'm based in NJ a few miles N of the GWB.

I have a solid rider condition Kestrel 200Sci, that I use as my rain/indoor/powermeter(ho,ho) bike.


It is the curves of the Aegis and the clamping bolt, that I lust after to incorporate into a specific project.

Best regards, Eric

I'm really not a hater. But the thought of a bike that is designed to break down over time, "planned obsolescence" as-it-were, just irks me. I won't even allow myself a test-ride on one, lest an evil seed be planted in my brain. I made the mistake of lifting one once... Once.

I did the same and have regretted it from the day I dropped off my 1985 Trek 410. I admit the geometry wasn't going to work for my 67 year old body, but I owned it for almost 35 years, since new. I wish I would have just stuck it into a corner and forgot about it rather than give it away. It's a mistake I won't make again.

I have an Aegis frame minus the seatpost bolt. Any leads to where I can find one, Eric?

My co-op will use it, and it will go to a good home. The Trek frameset had a cracked-off drive-side shifter boss from some unknown event, so I carefully popped off the non-drive side boss, frame-blocked it to round it mostly out again (drive side was dented from whatever incident cracked the boss), and donated it b/c someone will love having it for a fixie. It was waaaaaaaay too small for me, 50cm tops. I ride 59cm ideally.

As for the CF Specialized, It was also a size or two too small, although the components were well-sized and it nearly fit. I just didn't like the way it felt. Light and wishy-washy. I'm used to metal bikes, I guess. Anyway, it had a full Campy 9spd group with 170 cranks I wanted, so I picked it clean, popped in an old used-but-good Shimano sealed BB, left the steam on it, and donated it. Someone will no doubt thoroughly enjoy riding it, just won't be me. I got my money's worth! Only paid $50 for the Trek and got $150 in parts I needed, paid $100 for the Specialized, got a full 9spd Chorus ergo group out of it, which is more than fair.

Co-op gets my windfall in complete framesets, every time.

Funny Guy...
I have a plan to resurrect the frame (seriously). If it fails, then yes I do, (though I was getting ready to ask if anyone knew where I could get a frame to go with my bolt).

I tried a couple years ago to source one direct from Aegis, but no luck. I suppose that if I were a private detective, I'd be able to track down enough people who worked there to get the lowdown on any parts caches hiding around the area.

And as the frames die, most folks throw the bolt with the bike.
