Amazing Hand Built Fixed Gear for Sale
Capricorn fixie for sale
After much thought, I’ve decided I’m interested in selling my hand built Capricorn fixed gear bike. I’m looking at a couple other options, but want to make sure this amazing bike has a good home. If you are interested in a very good quality, extremely well cared for, handmade in the USA bike, this bike will be sold for a great price for a bike of this quality.
Details:
- True Temper Versus steel, designed and built by Capricorn Bicycles (Brad Wilson) in Minneapolis, MN, USA.
- Bike is fast, fun, and versatile. It has served as a one-bike-does-all from commuting, to errands, to fun rides, to pulling a Burley, to riding at the velodrome in Blaine, to fixed gear road rides (including a century ride).
- Red 56cm True Temper Versus frameset, silver fillet brazed
- F&R brake mounts (rear brake bridge recently added)
- Campy Record headset (1″ threaded)
- Nitto stem with Profile AirWing bullhorns, just wrapped in cloth tape with natural cork tape on top (and custom cork bar plugs)
- Optional/available Cinelli stem and Cinelli track drops with white cork (sold separately or package deal)
- Front sidepull brake with Salsa cross hinged lever (easy to remove if you go brakeless)
- Sugino cranks with 15t Dura Ace cog (19t Surly Cog available separately)
- Wheels: Surly hubs w/ Alex rims and Maxis Detonator tires
- 56 seat, 56 top, 74 deg head and seat angle
- Recently powdercoated, January 2011
- Never ridden in winter salt/slush/snow; rarely ridden in rain; stored indoors
NOT INCLUDED: Sale will NOT include pictured Brooks saddle, Thomson seatpost, or Speedplay pedals. Substitute Kalloy seatpost and All City track pedals will be included; supply your own seat or I will include a saddle until you find one.
This is a “feeler” to see if there is interest in this bike, being sold complete. Please submit an offer to Brad AT fixed Riders DOT com.
It will be sold for an amount substantially less than what you would pay for a new handbuilt frame and build kit, yet it’s age and condition is similar to what you would find new. If you are interested, get in touch by leaving a comment or email to info AT fixed Riders DOT com with an offer.
Please let me know if you’re interested in checking it out, or post/distribute to someone who may be. Hoping to sell in the next few weeks, so this opportunity probably won’t last.
