For Sale:  RANS Zenetik Tour, semi-custom built
 
This is the bike I got through the estate sale early this year, that was apparently built up from a frameset.  While stepson Brian enjoys it, he actually prefers the EZ-1, so I’ve decided to sell it to clear out a bit of garage hanger space!  
 
Specs, as close as I can tell:
 
Frame            Tig Welded 7005 Aluminum
Fork            RANS 700 Alloy 1 1/8”
Headset            Ritchey Logic Threadless 1 1/8” with adjuster
Bottom Bracket      ???
Crankset            Dual -- Stronglight 39/50, with Shimano 105 cranks, 170mm
Cassette            12/28 8-speed
Chain            ???
Front D/R            None – you must add
Rear D/R            Shimano 105
F/R Shifters      Shimano friction “thumbies”
Handlebar            RANS flat bar, with additional “aerobar” attachment
Riser            RANS Mid 5” forged
Brakes            Tektro,  but set up for 559 or 650 wheels.  
Seat            RANS Q.R / Poly with Trac-Loc and scale gradations  
Rear Wheel      Alex DA-16, 559
Front Wheel      Negotiable (currently my DA-16 559)
Overall weight      20 pounds
 
 
This bike has been gently used, and is in excellent condition.  You will have to add a front derailleur, if desired.  The bike is capable of being converted to 700C wheels, but will need different brakes installed.  I don’t know if it’s a small or a regular frame, but the seatpost will accept a full 8” range of inseam, and can handle much longer than my 31" inseam.  Since it’s set up for 559 wheels and wide tires, I think the original owner intended for it to be a light, fun trail cruiser…   The Zenetik is the CF that is specifically designed for standing up on, to scoot up those hills...   
 
Bob Bryant did a very thorough review of the “CF” series of bikes, for general reference.

this is a great bike folks, if I could, I'd snatch it up.  I was really amazed at how wonderful the CF bikes are.

Hi paul I would be interested in looking at your bike since I have never rode one before I would like to try it out to see how it fits me   I am 5"11" but I have to stand flat footed.  I need to sit on the seat to feel how it is.   so I will be in the east Dallas area on Sunday do you think you will be available between  4:30-and 5:00 or maybe around 12:30 to 1:00  I have to be at 636 and Elam at 2:00pm to 4:00 for a meeting   so  let me know   or If that won't work we can talk about when would be a better time.
