Schwinn Straight 6

This is a 16" (Small) 2001 Schwinn Straight 6 - the Mert Lawwill bike that kicks butt.  These are hard to find; and if you notice by the prices of these on here or eBay, that are not cheap.  Admittedly, you're after the frame; the rest of the parts are just fluff.  The important thing: the frame has NO cracks.  

The highlights:

- 16" (Small) Schwinn Straight 6 aluminum frame (carbon rear)
- Rock Shox Deluxe R rear shock
- Rock Shox Psylo SL front fork (has stanchion rub, see pictures) - but functions well
- WTB Laserdisc front wheel / Mavic UST rear wheel
- Hayes front hydraulic brake / Avid BB5 rear mechanical disc brake
- Sugino / Garvin 3x crank
- Grip-Shift X-Ray 3x8 shifters
- Shimano XT front derailleur / Sram X3 rear derailleur
- Pedals not included

SOLD.

Ibis Mojo SL Mullet 69er

This is a 19" (Large) Ibis Mojo SL that's been converted to a true 69er Mullet.  It has a brand-new generic Fox fork that has Manitou internals (purchased off eBay).  Has lock-out and works great - literally installed yesterday.  The rear shock was overhauled last summer as well; Pro-Pedal is working great.  The drivetrain is brand-new, never used.  The 1x11 drivetrain is a no-name eBay brand, but works just like a Shimano XT 11-speed.  The range is 11-52t, and the chainring is brand-new.
The frame does have scratches, etc., but it has the plastic clear-coat stickers as well that have absorbed most of the blows of usage.

The highlights:

- 19" (Large) Ibis Mojo SL carbon frame
- Fox Float RP3 rear shock
- Bucklos (looks like a Fox, has Manitou internals) front fork
- Ibis 26" rear wheel, Roval 29" front wheel
- AX L-TWOO 1x11 rear derailleur / rear shifter
- Z-Race 11-speed cassette (11-52t range)
- Shimano SLX crankset
- Sram Guide RS hydraulic brakes
- Ibis handlebar / stem
- Pedals not included

GT STS-2 Thermoplastic

 The time has come to part ways with my high-school love; a 1997 thermoplastic GT STS-2.  I've loved this bike for years.  It is modern? ... no, certainly not.  You're not going to ride this on 'modern' bike trails - although back in the 90's, this could handle most anything around.  

I've updated this bike where possible to keep it retro yet modern: I ditched the 3x drivetrain for a 1x11.  It rides well, if you understand that 23-year-old full-suspension GT DON'T ride like a 2021 model.  The Bomber Z.3 up front certainly feels it's age with the squishy sound of open-bath oil.  Whether you can overhaul it or simply buy a better-performing SID is up to you.  

The size is tricky; it's 20" center-to-top, but 18" center-to-center.  As most bikes back in the day were 20" center-to-center as a large, I'm pretty certain it's a medium.  But because there's so little documentation to verify, I just am not sure.  I'm 5'11" and it fits me great - but I ride both mediums and larges.  So, beware of that.

Value on these is all over the place.  They are so rare and certainly retro that there's some collectors value; at the same time, I'm very aware that it's a 23-year-old thermoplastic bike.  It's more of a collectors item than anything.

The highlights:

- 18" (M) 1997 GT STS-2 frame
- Rock Shox Deluxe rear shock
- Marzocchi Bomber Z.3 front fork
- Mavic wheels
- Shimano XT 1x crank w/ ovalized ring
- L-TWOO AX 1x11 drivetrain (brand-new)
- SunRace 11x50 11-speed cassette (brand-new)
- ENVE carbon riserbar
- Bontrager XXX carbon stem
- Avid brake levers
- Shimano LX v-brakes
- Pedals not included

Cannondale Scalpel 29er Team Carbon

 This is an 18" (Medium) 2014 Cannondale Scalpel 29er Carbon Team; it was Keegan Swenson's team bike.  It has been updated with newer rear derailleur (XO), newer brakes (XT), and a newer carbon Lefty.  There is a small crack at one of the spoke holes on the front ENVE rim; it's been this way for a few seasons.  The wheel is still running true, and runs tubeless.  If you've ever run ENVE's before, or any carbon wheel, you'll know that these sorts of cracks happen, and the wheel can still last years with them.

Pinarello Dogma F8 Clone

 I'm selling my sexy fake -- they certainly make fakes pretty darn well these days!  It's a Pinarello Dogma F8 clone; in all likelihood made in the same factory but with the 'skeleton' crew.  It's a 57cm; I'm 5'11" with a 32" inseam and it's a perfect fit.  The wheels are new and can run tubeless, but you'll need to run a strip and some Stans; as of now it's got tubes (needs new tubes) -- I ran this bike with ENVE SES 3.4's and am keeping them.  

The highlights:

- 57cm (L) Pinarello Dogma F8 clone/copy carbon frame
- Carbon fork
- Novatec R5 carbon wheelset
- Continental Grand Prix 5000 tubeless tires (new)
- Shimano Ultegra front / rear derailleurs (2x11)
- Shimano Ultegra shifters / brake levers
- Shimano Ultegra brakes
- FSA K-Force Light carbon compact crankset
- Shimano 11-speed cassette (11-28t)
