Well it is time to say goodbye to a very dear old friend. This one I named Chester. Chester came to me in 2001, a left-over 99 (I believe) from North Haven Bike. Besides a strikingly handsome shade of blue, Chester also has:
--- Carbon fork
--- Thompson seat post
--- Dura-ace bottom bracket (with self-extracting bolts)
--- Ultegra 12-23 cassette, Ultegra 39 & 53 rings and Sram PC59 chain with about 300 miles on this drivetrain
--- 105 hubs --- Front wheel was rebuilt with new spokes in August '02 and laced to Mavic CXP23; rear wheel was rebult 500 miles ago laced to a Mavic Open Pro ---wheel were built by the best darn wheelbuilder I know, Joe from North Haven Bike
--- 105 shifters, brakes, deraileurs, cranks
--- Michelin Pro-Race tires with about 500 miles (in my humble opinion, these are the best gripping tires out there)
I just put brand new tape and new cables on. I'd love to keep Chester as a winter bike, but well, you know the drill.
I'm looking for about $650, which is a pretty good deal. I'd be willing to take $600 if you promised to take care of and have fun with Chester as much as I have.
