It’s amazing how fast this happens… I’ve accumulated too much bike stuff that I don’t use for one reason or another, and I want to clear out some space in the bike closet for new things I WILL use… Prices are negotiable so shout if you’re interested in anything.


Saddles:

1) Terry Damselfly. $20 including shipping ($110 new).
This saddle has been used (probably has around 300/400 miles on it). It does not look brand new but is in good shape. There are two very small scuffs on the side from a new-clipless-pedal tumble, otherwise no marks except the leather shows a bit of stretching around the cutout. If you’re interested but have questions about the condition, PM me and I’ll send pictures.

2) WTB Rocket V. $20 including shipping (retails for around $90).
This seat came stock on my Bianchi Axis. I’ve ridden it maybe 4 times. It looks brand new. Actually I didn’t find this uncomfortable per se, but like the Arione much better and the celeste version I have sure looks sexier on my (black and celeste) bike. This is more a mountain bike saddle than a road saddle (the Axis is a cyclocross bike).

3) Selle San Marco SKN Pro. $20 including shipping (retails for around $100).
Bought this on sale at Performance (where it is perpetually on “sale” for $70). It held me over till I found something better for me. I actually debated keeping this saddle as a back-up; it’s pretty comfortable for me. Very firm seat. Looks new. Less than 100 miles on it. Pretty light at ~180g, and I found the "independent rear-wing flex" to be noticeable in a good way.

4) Bontrager Race Lite Saddle. $20 including shipping.
I know, I know, who likes Bontrager saddles? This came stock on my bf’s new project one Madone 5.2. It’s been used exactly once, for a short ride, and could be sold as brand new based on how it looks. I know there are **some** people out there for whom these saddles are not instruments of torture, and if you are one, this is a great deal. Please note, this version of the Race Lite DOES NOT have a cut-out – to see the non-cutout version, click on “additional colors/views” on this page:

Hey Liza, How do you sell things here? How do people contact you to purchase you stuff, and how do they pay you? I have some new Sidi shoes that don't work for me, but don't know how to handle the transaction. Thanks! Tokie

I've sold stuff here and had people send the $ via Paypal, then I just ship the item to them. Works great! If you don't have a Paypal account, it's easy to sign up at www.paypal.com. Good luck!

I know i'm not too fond of my bontrager right now, sure wish I had snagged that terry, nice full cutout.

You say the san marco's just OK?

Selle San Marco has sold.

I'm sorry, I've been offline for a day or so and suddenly there are lots of messages! I think I've responded to all of the PMs, feel free to shout if I haven't though.

Tokie, what size/style are your Sidi's?

Hi! The sidis are the Genius 5 model, size 40. they are a lovely light sapphire blue. They are like new except for the sole of the right shoe at the toe where apparently I scratched the sole a little. I only wore them 40 minutes on my trainer and 1 1/2 hrs on the road. I wish they didn't hurt my knees, because as shoes (fit and construction) they are much nicer than the specialized shoes that do not hurt my knees. I paid 140$ for them, and hadn't thought of an asking price yet. I need to find out how the PM thing works, so I guess for now you can leave a non-PM here! Tokie
