So my knee's are telling me I need to get a bike with gears which means I'm selling my baby. It seriously took me about 3 months of searching to find a bike that was as solid as this but still light, clean and didn't have a stupid boutique price tag to match.
http://www.focale44bikes.com/bike-relax.html is the current model but spec wise and geo wise it's exactly the same. Mine has a wtb saddle, different grips and Vittoria Randenour tires which are as close to puncture resistant as you can get. Is a 52cm frame. And grey Would prefer to keep the pedals. Bike will be fully serviced before the sale.
Asking $550, happy to swap for a long CX bike our touring rig, Salsa vaya/fargo even a Kona dew or KHS.

Save my knee's
my knee's have blown up for the 5th or 6th time this year from riding a single speed big distances. Really don't wanna sell as it is a fun fast bike to ride. But the physio says if I wanna be walking in 10years then it has to go
$500 and its your with matching gold anodised spoke nipples. And now have Hold Fast Foot straps ($60)
$750 and it will come with hand built mavic open sports laced with DT swiss spokes into hubs and odessy nipples. ($70per rim, $60 spokes/wheel, $30 nipples, $50 labour x 2 wheels)

Now has month old HOLD FAST toe straps and Focale44 resin pedals.
Some fresh pictures for you all. Up closes of tires, and chain rings to see the little wear. As well as brake pads.
The scuff's on the brake lever's from changing tubes on the side of the road. (never been crashed!)
Headset got pulled down cleaned out and regreased 6 weeks ago so is silky smooth.
Happy to negotiate a little on price - Also can arrange boxing and frieght anywhere in oz.

Is this one of those contraptions where you have to physically exert yourself to overcome inertia and induce forward momentum?

be truthful, you're just selling it to buy an iphone, as being hipster is now too mainstream, hipsters are returning to being mainstream, thus selling off fixies and and returning nan's woolen cardigans

And the geometry is a little agressive for a geared bike too. If I didnt have to sell it to raise funds I wouldnt. Super fun bike to ride, give it another couple of months and it will be off the market. kristov wrote: just wonderinggg... how muc would be postage to 6239??
Will get a firm price for you early in the week.
