FS: Bianchi Castro Valley
Ok I waffled on this before... but I am ready to sell my Bianchi Castro Valley
Commuter bike. I have used it for commuting for the last 2.5 years. So it
has the usual scratches and a rust spot here or there.
It is an 06 Castro Valley in 52cm. But it has had a ton of parts changed and
upgraded.

I'll include some well used crank bros' eggbeaters if you need them. I can
also add studded Kenda Klondikes for $25 and I have panniers available if
you need them.
How does $450 sound?
Let me know joe at inotion d0t c0m
Thanks,

Bumpy bump...
Price reduced $400.
And the build has changed slightly, I put on XTR V-brakes, avid v-brake levers, a paul's thumbie and nitto promenade bars. I can include the original drop bars and road levers if you want them. So this means all new cables and housing as of last week or so.
Looking to ride the c & o? I can sell you a set of ortlieb panniers to go with this too.

*Shakes fist at Joe*
Why? Why didn't you sell this a few months ago?
2009-06-19 17:49:20
Man Joe, this is a hell of a deal. It doesn't fit me and I DO NOT need another cross type bike, but damn, I bet this would go for a bunch more than $400 elsewhere.
2009-06-19 18:02:17
Shouldn't Joe be in touch with the 5'10 beginner looking for a multispeed? This is a better bike than a beginner needs, but still.

Probably too small if it's a 52, unless the geometry is seriously weird.
2009-06-19 18:58:40
I am 5'10" and it fits me. I ride a 55.5 road bike.
This is the same frame as the Volpe which is has cross geometry.

You're tempting me badly, Joe.
2009-06-19 20:04:03
i'm sending this to my roommate
2009-06-19 20:53:17
Well, if this fits a 5"10er it's a damn good deal. I'm surprised that this has sat for a month.
2009-06-20 01:39:20
damnit. hate being such a shorty.
2009-06-20 06:59:11
you selling the panniers separately? if so pm or email me.
2009-06-20 19:52:36
The bike is sold, Reddan has a new ride !
-Joe
2009-06-21 01:46:23
an upright reddan?
2009-06-21 21:12:52
It's only a few short steps to this, Dan:
2009-06-21 21:26:15
Yeesh, can't a brother try something new?
2009-06-22 02:03:20
what will your bent brethren say?
2009-06-22 02:47:58
I believe they'll say "get 'bent"
-Joe
2009-06-22 03:25:27
omg, dan, pretty soon, you'll be using one of these!
2009-06-22 03:43:34
Mebbe I should shave...bikini season is upon us, after all.
2009-06-22 11:39:16
you can use your rivendell wax writing tablet to ensure that smooth finish.
2009-06-22 12:19:03
Hipster! Quick - put a flag on it.
2009-06-22 12:48:12
Hipster? Nah...I quit the clove ciggies and "life is shit" attitude way too long ago to start back up again.
I've got some nice white athletic socks to tuck my pants in, though, so I may shoot for "Fred".
2009-06-22 13:24:21
oh man i was way too late to look for this. BOO!
But joe I still love the kaffenback! It is my daily ride.
Also I think the n00b I am looking for a bike for wanted one slightly cheaper anyway.
