Bacchetta Strada - medium
Jan 13^th, 2010, 11:26pm

Time to cut back on the number of bikes in my garage. I love my new to me Barcroft Oregon, and it has supplanted my Strada as my main commuter.
This was Peggy Petty's before I bought it, and it is in great shape. I will publish more stats if you're interested. Here are some pictures of it in for sale trim:

the only change I might make is to put the nicer Shimano single sided spd pedals on there that I got from Peggy.

asking $1000, but happy to negotiate / made a deal locally.

also still have a 50cm KHS track bike if any one is interested.

Take Care,
Nelson.

Congratulations to Nelson and Bob. I'm also sure Peggy loves keeping her bike in the family. I get chills every time I see Vickie Tyer riding my Ti Seven, especially in the 1200k rides!

I met Bob a year or so ago on an LSR 200k. He was riding a single speed! And it was the Mineral Wells/Cherry Pie Hills ride. Would you love to ride a single speed up Cherry Pie Hill.

Welcome Bob, looking forward to riding with you again.

Having taken my ss out yesterday for the first time, I can say with authority that I would be walking up 9/10ths of that hill. If not 9.999 tenths

I talked to you last week about your bike and we decided it was too small, we even emailed a little. I am amazed at the distances some of you are riding. I bought my ss last june after a neck injury forced me off the upright and have never looked back. I try to ride every day and usually get around 25 miles in. On the weekends that amount will double. I would love to hook up with some other bent riders but my problem is time. I ride during lunch and do not have as much time as i would like. Anyway, I thought it was kinda funny finding you on this forum.
