Done

Monday, December 31st, 2007

I am no longer a professional cyclist and bike racing is no longer the main focus of my efforts. Missingsaddle is all about bringing you into the lives of Pro Cyclist so I have moved over here. Thanks to everyone that supported me over the past years and Curtis/Missingsadle for giving me a place to keep track of my randomness.

In a few weeks you will be able to follow the THF Realty Cycling Team at missingsaddle powered THFRacing.com, for now there is just a place holder there but check back later in January to see what the guys are up to.

The current roster is:
Austin Allison
Brent Hanlin
Brian Dziewa
Kurt Fletcher
Nolan Froese
Pete Lopinto
Stefano Barbieri
Terry Kennan
Tim Kakouris
Zak Grabowski

There is a chance I may add on a rider or two down the road. Once the site is up you will be able to find out info on these guys and cheer/boo them as the year goes on.

Almost done

Its on Ebay.

PICT0003.JPGThis is a custom built Primus Mootry road bike with horitonal drop outs thats made out of True Temper OX Platinum. The tube top is 54.5cm and the seat tube is 52cm. The frame has a very slight slope and the geometery is nearly identical to a Cannondale 54cm. The color is a dark blue than pretty much looks black except in the bright sunlight. It is in great shape with a few nicks but no dings, dents or major flaws. I would guess it has 1500 miles on it total. There are protectors on the fork blades and seat stays to keep the fenders from scratching the frame. Both the fenders and protectors can be taken off very easly.

I am selling this bike because I am no longer racing full time. I mainly used it in December, January and February in 05 & 06 and can honestly its one of the best riding bikes I have ever been on. I will ship this bike anywhere as long as your address is paypal confirmed. Its 50 dollars to the lower 48 and actual shipping cost plus 10 dollars everywhere else. It will ship from 80027. If your outside the lower 48 go to fedx and check what it will cost you.

Thats all I can think of. Please let me know if you have any questions.
