All:
I have a very nice Mark Nobilette 531 fillet-brazed tandem for sale. It is in stunning, near-mint condition. I purchased it in the hopes of getting my wife to captain it, but it appears that isn't going to happen (she prefers that 20-pound SL Guerciotti for some reason)....
The bike was built circa 1988 (I'm guessing; not sure, as I am the second owner) and has maybe 300 miles on it it total. Original cost was allegedly about $6K. I'd like to get $1800 plus shipping for it. I'm not sure exactly how to ship a tandem (any listmembers with experience in that area please feel free to e-mail with advice). I expect I should get/purchase a real tandem box from an LBS and then pack it very carefully...
Specs:
19" F / 20" R (29.5" / 30" standover height) seat tubes c-t;
19.75" F / 25.25" R top tubes c-c;
63.75" w.b.;
NR tandem cranks (165 F / 167.5 R) 36/42/53 w/Phil BBs & Haden front eccentric;
Record SL pedals w/toeclips & straps;
40-hole Phil hubs (rear has disc brake);
Mavic Module 3D Argent rims 700C;
DT 14-gauge SS spokes:
Conti SuperSport 700 x 28 tires
Cinelli front bar & stem, Santana stoker stem w/ ATB bar;
Chorus monoplanar (I think) calipers controlled by Modolo levers;
39 lbs. road-ready.
Italian colors (tasteful red/white/green Imron) w/chrome fork and most of rear stays.
Please respond off-list if you need more info. or may be interested.
Thanks,
