Not my bike, wish it was but the price is prohibitive. Looks like it's in about as good condition as you could ever expect. http://fresno.craigslist.org/bik/3043549538.html If this isn't the right forum please move it. |
That's pretty damn minty! Too bad its too big and too expensive for me.
|
Yikes!! that is alot. Personally I never quite got the whole XO thing. What can that do that my Project 3 can't?

XO-1s don't come up for sale too often. When they do, I've seen them go for $800-1000. Not sure I've seen $1500 before. But I haven't watched XO-1 prices for the last few years.
Oh, here's one that went BIN on eBay for $1,150, doesn't have many of the original parts, and has more than a few miles. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...vip=true&rt=nc I think $1500 is high but not impossible for this bike. Admittedly it is 59 cm and on CL with only one picture, but buyers will seek it out and I guess tall people have money too. Hopefully he has lots more detailed pics to send interested parties. IIRC, there were 1,000 made each year. So, 20 years on, how many are left in mint condition? I wonder what mine is worth. It is the less desirable year, with sidepull brakes, and maybe the less desirable color, tusk rather than orange. But it is minty. |

there's probably 100+ people with "xo-1" google alerts. i'm sure this guy already has some action.
but do you really buy the 82 miles on the road and the rest on a trainer? doesn't seem like a trainer bike to me. |
I don't get it. I recently purchased a 1992 RB-1 in perfect condition for less than a third of the asking price of the X0-1. The RB-1 came with 600/Ultegra gruppo vs 105 gruppo on the X0-1. It is a lot extra to pay for moustache bars and lower grade components. In 1993 Bridgestone made 1000 yellow and 1000 red RB-1s so they are pretty rare also.

The RB-1 is highly valued too, for an early '90's road bike. I'd love to get one someday.
I think the XO-1 is what it is because it was more unique at the time. Who'd seen mustache bars or even really "hybrid" bikes in 1992? |

clever copy describing the bike. Consider that the XO-1 was really the seed that started the Rivendell 'movement' towards all around bicycles. Besides, back then the bikes sold so quick that B-Stone was sold out within a couple of months. As with your RB-1, I recently picked up a pristine '93½ MB-1... but for 1/15 the asking price of the XO-1! |

I think that I'd prefer that the 1960 trainer miles be road miles. Trainers = lots of sweat.
