Catrin, I think that was a smart move. I know it is painful to "take apart" a bike you are attached to but being so size and person specific, breaking it down makes a ton of sense. Good Luck

Starting with three items
Light and Motion Vis 360 + LED Headlight and Tail Light: charges with any USB cord. Both helmet mounts are included. It retails for $130 (REI) to $180 (Light and Motion). I really enjoyed using this combination for my morning commutes. On the highest settings with everything blinking the charge lasted right at one hour. While I had other lights on my bike, I felt this combination of helmet lights really helped me to be visible, especially from the side.
$75 + shipping

Sigma 1609 STS Double Wireless Bike Computer (cadence and speed). All mounts included, all batteries were changed this winter. No manual, but the manual is available via the Sigma website. I actually found a website selling this for over $250! That is just nuts. I am only asking $40 + shipping
Attachment 17313
Mavic Scorpio (2011) MTB shoes with Frog Cleats. Size 8/Euro 40. While they were a bit small for me, I really liked these shoes. They ARE white and have some marks, especially on the grey toe covers and light black marks close to the sole. You can see this in the photo.
$25 + shipping

Pretty much everything else is a deconstructed SRAM drive train - mainly X0 and X9 :-) I will be posting them on Pink Bike, and will post those links here so I don't have to post lots of pictures both places. It will take me a few evenings to get everything on line, so if you already know you need, or are interested in something, send me a message and we can talk about it!
I have that same light combo for my commute and I LOVE it. Someone needs to grab that thing!

Thanks GLC! It really is a NICE combination. I wouldn't use it as my only light source, but I've always been of the "more light is best" school.
This exquisite frame and fork is looking for a new home, and new parts! Pure custom, she is very lightweight steel and rides like a cushy dream. This full custom frame retails for $1,400 from Gunnar/Waterford, but she can be yours for $850 + shipping!
Fork Height: 376mm
Wheel Height: 642mm
Chainstay Length: 425mm
Wheelbase: 990mm
Theoretical Top Tube Length: 500mm
Actual Top Tube Length: 479.2mm
26 inch wheels (also available if interested)
She goes on Pink Bike and our local mountain biking forum tonight, she was designed for light mountain biking/gravel riding. Two small chips at the bottom of the chainstay, but touch-up paint is available from Gunnar/Waterford.
Seatpost collar and cable guides included

The computer is sold!
I've most of the parts listed on Pink Bike, and will provide a list of parts, with links, here as soon as I've completed that process. That seems better than a long list of pictures![]()
Catrin - what are your wheels? I may be interested if you'd like to sell them. I have a frame to be built up and I haven't yet bought wheels (and I want 26").

Mavic 26 inch, bladed spokes, rim brakes. The spokes are black and appear to either be very slightly corroded or else a problem with the finish from the factory. I've heard that Mavic wheels DO that sometimes, but the wheels are in great shape, no crashes and the bike has always "lived" in my bedroom/hasn't been ridden in the rain. I would also toss in the Continental Travel Contact Tires (one extra will be thrown in) if you want them at no extra charge. I DID try to remove one of the stickers when I brought this bike home but was unsuccessful.
Asking $100 + shipping, a reasonable offer will be considered :-)
http://www.mavic.com/wheels-mtb-crossride#.U-VLG_ldV8E is the manufacturer's site. Unsure these are made anymore, retail for $230. I think Mavic now only makes these for disc brakes.
