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.

Winter Solstice Double Century, December 18, 1999 - I rode the double century that started at Craig Robertson's house in Los Altos and went to Pinnacles and back. The first couple hours of riding were in darkness (as were the last two hours). In Saratoga my rear tire started to bulge ominously, so I had to return home and replace the tire. I then drove the bike in my van down to Gilroy, reaching the rest stop at the same time as Ron Bobb.
We then continued our ride to Pinnacles and back to Gilroy. Starting again on the final leg was difficult as it was getting dark and cold, and I was already quite tired. (Lisa Antonino kindly offered to drive my van back to Craig's house.) Fortunately, we managed to make it back to Los Altos in one piece with no further mishaps.

Carmel Valley Road, November 26, 1999 - I met Ron Bobb west of Salinas on CA68 near River Road. He had ridden from Watsonville that morning and was already warmed up.
We started south on River Road and rode to the Soledad Mission where we refilled our water bottles. After our break we continued up Arroyo Seco Road to Carmel Valley Road that we took over a couple of summits into Carmel Valley where we stopped for a late lunch. After lunch we rode over Los Laureles Grade to CA68 and back to my car. I drove Ron home as it was too late for Ron to get home in daylight, and he had had enough riding by that point.
