For sale is a custom, hand-built steel frameset from legendary Sacramento master builder Steve Rex. Steve is a multi-award-winner at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show 1 and is world-renowned for his flawless, super-smooth fillet-brazed joints. The frame is built with lightweight ovalized tubing (believed to be True Temper S3).
FULL DISCLOSURE: There is one small, cosmetic ding on the top tube from a tip-over (see photo - it is the small blemish under the sticker on the top tube). This is very common on high-end, thin-walled lightweight steel frames 11 and has no structural impact on the ride. The price has been already reduced by over $600 to reflect this blemish.
You are not just buying a frame. The price includes a "pro-level" component package. The value of these parts alone is over $700:
* Frame: Steve Rex Custom Fillet-Brazed (New frame is $2,700+)
* Fork: Reynolds Ouzo Pro Full Carbon Fork (1 1/8" steerer)
* Headset: Chris King 1 1/8" NoThreadSet
* Bottom Bracket: Chris King Threaded Bottom Bracket
* Front Derailleur: Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 (Braze-On)
* Seatpost: Ritchey WCS Carbon (Assumed)
* Stem: Ritchey WCS 4-Axis
* Skewers: Extralite Titanium Quick Release
This is a rare opportunity to get a top-tier, American-made artisan frameset with elite components for the price of the components alone.
Price is $1,150. Lowballers will be ignored. Cash and local pickup only.
