hm.
were you comfortable on the 48? I think my road bike is a 48 and sometimes it feels real small!

Selling some bikes
I'll post some pics soon, but here's what I'm selling:
1992 52cm Bridgestone XO-1 (Grant Petersen designed). I have the original everything and will throw in a technomic stem. Pearl white. Good condition. Make an offer. This bike will fit people from 5'6" to 5'9" or so - long top tube.
Late nineties 51cm Torelli road bike. Lugged. Head tube is a bit ovalized due to a crash and needs to be tightened after every ride. Great bike for someone who knows how to fix stuff like that. Shimano 105 components. $75. Will fit people up to 5'7" or so.
2010 Masi 48cm (compact frameset) Volumetria 3vc - I have my eyes on a steel frame racing bike. Only about 3-400 miles on the Masi. Compact Shimano Ultegra crankest. 105 brakes. I think this frame is for someone built a bit differently than I am, but still in the range of 5'4-5'7 or so.
Like I said, I'll post pictures. Also feel free to check out the bikes in person.

I wasn't super comfortable on the Masi, but I don't think the bike was built for comfort. Someone else might be comfortable on it though.

Dammit Scott, hold onto that Bridgestone.
Anyone else who may fit it, buy it. Immediately.
2011-12-22 21:32:52
I was just thinking that I wanted to buy a bike that both my sister and I could ride, and leave it at my parents'.
I don't think an XO-1 really needs to sit mostly unused on the farm, though.
2011-12-22 21:42:21
Yeah, I tried last year to convince myself I could fit on a 52 but its just delusional.
I'm tempted to buy the torelli and transplant the parts... too bad brad's pacer is gone.

I don't think an XO-1 really needs to sit mostly unused on the farm, though.
This is true.
As long as it fits, I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it. That bike is super cool.

Also, I'm going to sell my Motobecane Fantom Cross Pro. I think it's somewhere in the 2007-2009 year. Has braze-ons for rear rack and front and rear fenders. Great shape. All new components (105 derailleurs, truvativ elita crankset, ritchey pro bars, stem, seatpost). I think it's a 52cm. $500.
2011-12-27 19:25:56
Id be interested in the Bridgestone if no one else takes it...
2011-12-27 22:41:16
how about some pics??
2011-12-27 22:52:59
i'll post pics tomorrow

I am interested in the Motobecane Fantom Cross Pro assuming it fits me well. (sent you a PM, but not sure it went through).
2011-12-28 05:33:47
Scott, all this talk of divestiture has me curious. Most people do wholesale cleanouts like this when in need of money, or just before moving. We're not going to be be hearing any big news out of you in coming weeks, are we?
2011-12-28 18:10:38
Haha, maybe just news of me buying some sweet new rides.
2011-12-29 13:31:17
Motobecane is sold. Still trying to sell the Torelli (my mistake, it has Shimano 600, not 105 components). Pics below.

XO-1:

Is the XO-1 on 26" tires?
2012-01-02 09:39:35
yep
2012-01-02 15:24:12
Torelli has been sold
2012-01-04 05:29:02
Ok, last chance to buy the Masi from me and keep the bike local. I'm about to put it on eBay.
2012-04-14 13:18:08
My Masi is now on eBay in case anyone is interested. I'm happy to take it off of eBay and deal locally as long as there aren't any bidders.

Masi has been sold. I'm still considering selling the Bridgestone.
2012-06-01 12:20:31
If you still want to sell the x-01 I'm interested! I'm also in Boston, so there would be shipping involved... Let me know.
