42 cm surly pacer road bike

dam .... wrong time of year, would want to swap the cranks for 165s ...

Pretty bike and the frame's probably a good fit for me. If this were April or May I'd be all over it. It'll be in the back of my head if nobody jumps on it right away.

The virtual top tube is 491.5 mm - I was running a 130 mm stem on it, which was just wrong. I think the BBB on it now is a 110 mm stem (but I have lots of stems, if you knows what size you need, if I have the right length, I'll switch it to that. )

The cranks I swapped off were 165s (again,truvativ elitas)

I can swap them back on - I doubt the 165s have much wear on them, because this was my ride 1 mile to work or 5 miles to the library or 2 blocks to the grocery store on the way back from work. Then I got a kindle and stopped going to the library (which was good, 'cause they ended up having issues with bed bugs in return library books) and then I decided the surly was a little nice to ride a mile or so, and just got a beater bike... So this bike has had about 70 miles put on it in the last year.

The newest creation was going to get the 165's but because of chainstay clearance (apparently, putting road cranks on a mountain bike frame doesn't work) it couldn't happen - so I can pop them back on. I'm at the point where I have 3 sets of precious 165mm cranks that are being hoarded in boxes, so you might actually save me from myself - only 2 pairs of hoarded cranks is almost reasonable, 3 is just nutty.

Choice of rear cassettes as well - I had an 11 to 32 or 34 I used or an 11-23.

The 11-23 had nice tight spaces between the gears and made it really easy to find a good gear - and had me using the front triple more. The 11 to 32 or whatever it was (mountain bike cassette) was better for hills, but on flats it could be a hunt for a comfortable gear.

Wow. That is a nice bike. If I knew I was defiantly getting this new job, I'd be ALL over that, it's really nice.

Hummmmmmm... How much for a pint of blood these days??

Catboo, where do you live? Would like bike, but not shipping.

Can that bike take a rack and panniers? Fenders?
I am slightly interested, but not sure if it would fit any better than my Jamis. The dimensions are fine, though.

Pretty bike Not that I can buy another bike this year & it is too small for me anyway - but a pretty steel steed! Whoever gets her will love her, I am quite certain.

I live in Maryland. I haven't shipped a bike in the last couple years, so I don't know how much it costs lately. I have a couple bike boxes in the attic still though.

Yes, it can take a rack with panniers, definitely on the back. On the front you have to get a rack that clamps half way up the fork, I think.

It does have fender eyelets front and back - Fenders it can take as long as you stay under 700x28, I think. It can take 700x32 tires, but it won't fit a fender with that.
