#coffeeneuring 3/7. Lots of vintage steel at @cartelcoffeelab in #tempe this morning. #coffeneuring2019 #vintagebike #kogamiyata #miyata #koga #randonneurextra

If you’re in the Phoenix area and want to try out the whole supple 650b thing, here’s your chance. Currently wearing 650x42b Compass tires with room for fenders. $250, details below. The bike received the usual “I’m going to keep this!” overhaul. Frame and fork were checked for alignment, headset serviced, cables, housings, brake pads replaced, BB swapped to a new Shimano cartridge unit. I also put on a new KMC chain a couple weeks ago. The details: - 1982 Trek 412 25.5” (62cm ST, 60cm TT). There’s a bit of cable and heal rub, and scratches here and there. But as you can see from the pictures, it’s in nice shape. - Compass Baby Shoe Pass Extralight 650x42b tires. Center ribs are all there. These don’t have many miles but the sun has faded them, especially the logos. - Pacenti PL23s 32h rims. Wear indicator fully visible. These were built to Pacenti’s specced 90kgf. - Shimano XT m732 rear, m737 front hubs, Wheelsmith double butted spokes. - Dia Compe 750 center pull brakes with KoolStop pads. There’s ~27mm between the brake carrier and the tires, ample space for fenders. - Factory SR crank, bars, stem and and Avocet Condor saddle. The saddle has a 1cm tear, I figure you’d replace it anyway. - Suntour downtube shifters and front derailleur. - Shimano 7 speed cassette - Shimano XT M732 rear derailleur because I ran this with a triple for awhile. I have a worn Sugino XD2 triple I can toss in for $15, but the middle ring is a replacement and it never shifted well. - White Zefal HPX3 pump, missing one of the little ears, but works fine. - No pedals. If you need pedals I can pick some up for ~$8 the next time I’m at the co-op - American Classic seat post has marks on it, is hilariously light. - Gran Compe aero levers with scratching from a tip over. - Newer cork bar tape - Shimano Cartridge BB Phoenix area pickup strongly preferred. If you’re in Tucson or Flagstaff we can meet somewhere. Not shipping this one.

1. Put bike in some bushes 2. Put feet in beautifully clear river water 3. Immerse self in freezing cold water on blistering hot day 4. Ride. Smile. #colorado #kogamiyata #koga #miyata #randonneur #randonneurextra #eagleriver #biketouring #biketour #touringbike #cyclotourisme

I really needed this cyclist’s oasis on the ride up Tennessee Pass. Whoever maintains this is a national hero. #colorado #tennesseepass #biketouring #touringbike #koga #miyata #randonneur #randonneurextra #cyclotourisme #leadville
