Mavic Open Pro on Phil Wood hubs for $300
https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/bik/539324209.html

the worst part is that i don't have enough money for these because i just spent $80 on new tires.

^Man, I have a $350-400 budget for some new wheels and that would be perfect. I am thinking of doing open pros laced to Miche hubs or Dia Compe Gran Compe but Phil Wood hubs would be awesome. Wish it wasnt cash/local pickup only.

I completely agree. Also, WTF that frame is dented and the seller still wants over a grand. Its amazing to me how inflated the njs label has become.

Another auction where the seller has overvalued the worth of the frame. The reserve is 700 and the shipping from germany is 820 is anyone cares (I was one of the bidders)

That guys been trying to sell that for so long... except I remember it used to be cheaper AFAIK. $1,000 is stupid high for a craigslist posting, I tried to sell an NJS frame for like 6 or 7 and didn't get any committed takers so I put it on eBay and got a price I was looking for.

I saw that earlier. Its been up on and off for a few months now. For some reason the price has gone up.

$1000 is insane for a used frame. My friend picked up a Bomber Pro with Phil Wood hubs, Nitto Jaguar stem Sugino 75 cranks etc... for the same price off the same craigslist.

Maybe I'm just bitter because its too small for me.

But that checkered top tube protector makes it really punk, so its okay. I'm sure it'll match the vans of whoever buys it.

Not because of the frameset for sale but because of the description text, below:

https://cgi.ebay.de/Schroder-track-fi...QQcmdZViewItem

"Now imagine this with a (custom made) XXL messenger bag, a (custom made) cycling cap, a Brooks saddle, 10cm wide flat bars, and 17 assorted spoke cards... just ready to race!

Perfect for alleycat racing, skid competitions, track stands & tricks, wheelies, Pisumo™, messenger championships, or just to go to your local Critical Mass! Support your fixed gear scene!"

Anyhow, that dude has always tons of cool track gear up for sale.

what is the point of having an all carbon frame if you're just going to put heavy ****ing deep v's on it? Ugh, so much about that bike bothers me.
