This is a handbuilt frame from Leonard Zinn. fillet brazed construction with a lugged Cinelli bottom bracket shell.

the top tube measurement is 53cm ctc, the seat-tube is 19" ctc. although don't be fooled by the measurement (very old school mtb), this is a very small frame, suitable for someone under 5'4''.
tubing is tange prestige, brass accents on the seat-stays. rear spacing is 130mm although you can fit a 135mm hub in it.

i'd really like this to go to someone who can appreciate what a special find this is. it was handbuilt in boulder colorado, by a mastercraftsman. the fork crown is super cool, it has a cinelli bottom bracket shell, and it's purple and pink.

If I had any money to buy another bike i'd scoop this up in a heartbeat! I love it!

This is a KHS Mountain bike, They are not very well known here, when I bought it years ago there where no dealers in Minnesota. I had to order it from colorado. It is a steel frame with Suntour Equipement. The tires look like new. The last time I rode the bike a spoke on the rear rim broke and I hung it back up in the garage and havn't touched it sense. What can I get for it. Make me an offer.


PS: How do people put the whole CR posting in their post?

Man, I am _so_ sick of people listing conversions on ebay as track bikes. I can't tell from the cell phone pics of that bike what the dropouts look like, but I'm pretty sure that bike isn't made for the track. Damn scammers.

(Oh, and if my tax return was that much, I'd be using it for a down payment on a house.)

I just love how on a 10K bike the guy didn't even bother to list the size. Someone had to ask him what size it was. 9_9

This wheelset probably comes off The Hour
Which probably means they're cheap, but round.

Hehe..yup, that's me! When I have time, I love pulling htese old steel rigs out and cleaning them. Just the polisheing/cleaning alone takes about 4-6 hours. It's more of a hobby than anything!

You should see the two orange ones I listed! They are even nicer! But I only have before pics.

Really, who tries to sell a bike over retail, even with tax?

Maybe we should have a Twin Cities Surlydex.

Of course at that price we're already dead anyhow...
