Bike Items for Sale - Here's a photo journal of bike parts that I'm trying to clear out of my workshop.
Shipping is $10 or (actual shipping charges + (optional) insurance charges + delivery confirmation fee), whichever is greater. I will try to find cheapest shipping option (e.g. USPS for US Domestic delivery) or will ship according to your carrier of preference.
Some of the parts are new, some are used. If you think my item pricing is off or you're buying multiple items, please make me an offer.
I am selling everything "as is". But, if you buy an item that is dead on arrival, damaged in shipment, or you believe you got a raw deal, please contact me as soon as possible so we can work out a solution. Given the time involved in selling these items I am not making a profit on this and am more interested in seeing components and parts I no longer use but that have remaining useful life to find a home with other bicycle enthusiasts, where they will be used instead of collecting dust in my workshop.
Contact me at the following . It will help if you include the links to photos of the items that interest you. All prices are in US Dollars.

Las Cumbres, February, 22, 1997 - Richard Mlynarik, Stella Hackell and I rode up to Skyline Blvd. and up over Castle Rock summit, then took a path through the Las Cumbres development that led eventually (via a few dirt roads) to the lower reach of Bear Creek Road. The photos in this album were taken on one of these dirt roads, perhaps the dirt road that we inadvertently took that dead-ended in some guy's encampment.
When we rode by the guy was there and said nothing. He just watched us bemusedly as we rode by. When we discovered that the road didn't continue we had to go back. Richard told the guy he was surprised he hadn't said anything when we went by. The guy said, "I didn't say anything because I knew you'd be coming back anyway." We thought he might have been squatting as most landowners, especially the "homesteaders" with trailer encampments on small parcels, tend to be fiercely protective of their little bit of private property and often don't understand the concept of an easement.
Bear Gulch west, February, 1997 - Stella Hackell led a Western Wheelers ride down the west side of Bear Gulch Road. The first photo is from a preview ride a week earlier.
