Well I'm disappointed to post this bike under the circumstances, but my daily commuter, a 48cm 1991 Bridgestone CB-0 Citylimit converted to a single speed, was stolen from the campus of the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) on Tuesday Oct. 16, 2012. I realize chances may be slim that I'll...

Unfortunately it's too big for me :cry: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/bik/2765584678.html

This could be a sweet deal for someone here. http://austin.craigslist.org/bik/2737821633.html

After giving it some thought I think I also recall reading Paul Sadoff mention that his purchase of the left-over Bontrager tubesets was all but seat stays.

GoldenEraMTB, are you the original owner?

Hmm, I'm stumped at this point. Most here are probably aware of this, but for what it's worth I can add that Keith mentioned that the segmented seat stay design was a cost consideration: It was more cost-effective to order a large quantity of a single longer length stay and then cut them per...

The buyout happened in 1995. However, it seems segmented stays continued to be used on Races and Race Lites through the end of their production 1998. This was certainly the case for the dozen or so 1998 model year Race/Race Lite frames we sold in 98-99. From the 1998 Bontrager catalog:

I don't doubt you, but that is news to me. My experience as a dealer was that Races through the 1998 production year had 2-piece stays. It's also my experience that there are more than a few Privateers floating around out there with Race decals. Does anyone know if the Paul Sadoff-built...

A tell of Privateers is the 1-piece seat stays. Races had the same 2-piece seat stay of the Race Light all the way through to the end of their production. It's my understanding, as a former Bontrager dealer, that Privateers were manufactured by Trek in Wisconsin for 2 years after the Bontrager...

I'm not making out the machined headtube or 2-piece seat stays of a Race Light in those images. I'm guessing it may be a cleaned-up Privateer.

Hell, if it sells for anywhere near the asking price mine might find itself for sale shortly thereafter.

Only playing the good guy here because it's too big for me. :wink: http://is.gd/6qflrL

A very rare bird. Thank god it's size HUGE.

That is something very special. Excellent find and build. :D

That's a super-clean build! :twisted: Sub-22lbs shouldn't be a problem. I've managed to eke mine in under 22lbs with barends. The AMP damper is a solid performing unit if maintained properly, which is a pretty simple procedure, and if you're gunning for light weight it's still lighter than...

Another SAB? When will the madness end!? :roll: Looking forward to the final product. :D

Re: Twister If you ever make it out toward 'Vegas with it we'll get 'em both out on the trail and compare notes. :)

That would be excellent. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. Pretty much all I've got is what I've gleaned from a couple of MBA article from the time. Btw, it's nice to see another example in such fine condition.

Going to keep my eye on that. If that frames pops for that kind of dosh I'll be dropping mine on eBay next.

It's worth noting that the medium size Comp of this year was the same frame as the Team.
