Trek Earl townie bike...54cm...

[Steve Vai]

Hey all,

My N=5+1 has just been exceeded with the addition of a trials bike and a second cyclocross bike, so something has to go away.

The Earl has been chosen to hit the block!!

It's super fun to bang around town. I use it to drop the boys off at school and to get groceries etc. Singlespeed or fixed, it's set-up SS right now. I swapped out the stock stem and bar for a normal flat cockpit. Also added the full fenders. I have a few freewheels for it as well, it's set-up low right now for hauling kids.

$250.

-Jim.

You're like an inch shorter than Jim, no?

If this were only a XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL. I'm interested...

 

[axcxnj]

i wish you werent 4 feet tall jim

 

[Pearl]

whats weird is my CX bike is 54cm, either i'm on too small of a bike or jim is a freak of nature

 

[Steve Vai]

Yeah, this bike is too big for me...I'm a 52cm in real life. And Pearl, you have a Cannondale 54cm, which is a lot closer to a 56cm...

jim, i may have a buyer. hold on.

 

[bonefishjake]

jim, my buddy has to pass.

 

[Steve Vai]

Thanks for trying son!!

-Jim.

 

[Pearl]

can i trade you a bike that is worth less money than yours straight up... thanks for the opportunity

 

[Norm]

Can I give you a bag of rocks in exchange for this?

If it's at the shop when I go pick up that plastic bike I'll ride it around. If it feels good I may buy it. My first attempt at a town cruiser didn't fare so well.

yeah that thing would be better served dragging the bottom of a lake for bodies...

Let me guess, he lives in Middlesex?

Wonder if I'd fit on a 54 :hmmm:I've been looking for something simple for my 2.2 mile round trip commute. Let me kick the idea around a bit before I don't buy it.

Have him ask for Dennis, I spend my time at the shop chained to a repair stand

-Jim.

 

[Mare]

That's a nice bike. If I needed another bike and it was the right size, I'd take it.

 

[Steve Vai]

SOLD!!

Thanks Harry, enjoy it

-Jim.
