WTB: Touring bike, or two
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2009 2:40 pmI've got two friends (girls) who currently really need me to build them touring bikes. Both are good friends who I care about providing quality rigs for.
One is a rad biker (roommate Lissa who showed up at the T-docks) who plans to sell her car then spend a couple months touring the coast. Maile is a gal newish to biking, getting very serious about it, wants to sell car and buy a very nice touring bike for hauling shit/rainy weather - currently owns a fancy race bike (faggin) that just won't do with fenders. Also she's thinking about rolling point83 once she gets a lil faster...
Lissa
52-53 cm - priority is functionality/reliability - needs a real touring bike or good cross bike - must be built by late Sept
Maile
56-58cm - prioritizes sex appeal over ease of finding a frame - refuses to buy LHT because it's what everybody else buys - so, preferrably something lugged and uncommon, or even a trek 520/720 - doesn't have to be a heavy touring bike, mainly something fenders/racks compatible - cross bike?
Anybody got a bike/frame lying around? Both are willing to start with a bare frame and build it up if the price is right.
Thanks ya'll, as always

tl/dr: hey you got a 52-53 or 56-58 touring bike/frame for sale?
