Jim I'd be interested in that Schlitter Encore if you've still got it ..

Quote from reever on Feb 10^th, 2018, 6:20pm:

I have too many bikes. My wife and I are trying to cut back on furniture, belongings of all kinds in preparation for a retirement move. That includes some of my bikes. I've lowered my price for any of these from $1800 to $1500. Somebody out there is going to get a really good deal.

Bikes for sale are:

RANS Screamer with Draftmaster carrier

Hp Velo StreetMachine

Schlitter Encore

Catrike Expedition

My record of not being able to sell ice cubes to Amazonians or fire to Eskimos is in tact. I will be coming to Dallas soon. If you'd like so see the Encore I can bring it. Or I can bring it to the Dallas Senior Games if you are coming to that. Let me know.

Actually I'm heading to the Pactour in AZ week after next, so I'm going to miss the DSG (which is really a shame in timing) I was thinking if its possible I could swing by Abiline (thats where I remember you living) on the way out or back .. as I basically have to drive right through. But if you are in dallas next week we can work something else out ..

I'd love to have you swing by to see the Encore and test drive it, Mr. Wizard!!! Let me know....

Well I guess I deleted the original post. Was going to start all over again. Listen, who wouldn't want to buy an Encore for $1500??? That is the most reasonable price I've ever come across, even if I do say so myself. It is a very versatile bike--can be adjusted for pleasure riding or cranked back for flat out racing. My fastest Strava segment on a flat is 30.9mph with the wind. And I have chicken legs compared to some of you behemoths!
I've also solved the one thing that plagues many Encore pilots--hands having to have a death grip on the handles. With that solved, it is very comfy to ride for hours and hours with no hand fatigue.
So, C'mon man!!!

I don't think you would have any trouble selling it there for your asking price. I would be very tempted, but I just spent all my play money on the NoCom, that I can't ride still!

If not registered then register to Bentrideronline.com. Go to classified-bikes and list your bike just like you did here. You have to have so many posts before you can add a link or pictures. If you list it here or Craigslist, someone will probably post the link and pictures for you. If you have a young grand kid they will show you how! Smiley

My 4 & 6 year old grandsons show me stuff all the time on my computer.

Jason,

I read your text while out on a ride and then it disappeared. As far as I can remember you asked me how tall I was and how many miles I have on it. I'm a very short legged 6'2" ..... 45" X seam. I can't say exactly how many miles I've got on it. One HHH 100 in 4:41 and one trip from Chula Vista, CA to Nashville TN that was @2800 miles. The bike is very adjustable and very versatile--very well engineered.

Okay. I can't get any cheaper than this. Could, but I don't want to......I'll go to bottom basement prices for any of my bikes. I've got to get some money for moving to Florida.

Schlitter Encore--$1200!!!! (SOLD!)

HP Street Machine--$1000

RANS Screamer--$800

Fuji Aloha--$300 (SOLD!)

Surly Long Haul Disc Trucker--$1000

All of these are OBO, but it will have to be soon. I close on my Florida house on May 3. I move soon thereafter and will sell them there if I can't move them here.

Thanks, even though you bullied me into the Fuji with a great deal! Trikes will make you lazy that's for sure. My first launch was a little sketchy but once I got rolling I was amazed at how well it absorbs chipseal. I was literally just loafing along and getting use to it thinking I was dragging. Got home and had beat my best Aero time by a hair. Not sure how but your seat location was spot on.
