After my aluminium sora spec'd K2 Escape was totalled in my accident. I've been searching for my replacement bike. I found alot of good 2005 close-out deals at the LBS's but then I happened onto a great deal from ebay. I was taking a gamble b/c it was from a seller with only 27 feedback, albeit 100% positive. It was one of those "guy buys bike for girlfriend, they break up, guy gets bike back but can't use small bike, wants to sell it off. Only 12 miles on bike. Yada, yada , yada."
The bike's MSRP is $2500, so what the heck, I put in a bid of $1500 at the last minute... I won!
S&H for the bike is $45. I got soooo lucky with the price b/c the seller couldn't get the reserve price of $1800 to work. The S&H actually ended up being $130, the seller
(great guy
) only asked for the original $45, and because he originally listed the bike as having a Dura-Ace RD
(typo from LS website
) he gave me $40 back so my total cost was...$1505. I got the bike yesterday and it is a spanking brand new bike, no dirt/grease on the chain or cassette! Needless to say I am so stoked on my new baby! Merry Christmas indeed!
2006 Litespeed Firenze 3/2 Titanium size small compact.
Real design carbon fork
(although not the cool looking one on the LS website
)
Full Ultegra 10 drivetrain
FSA Gossamer
(Godsend
) compact cranks w/ external BB
FSA RD-88 wheels
Thompson/ITM cockpit
Time ATAC pedals, from the original owner
I switched out the fizik aliante sport saddle with my aireon team
(SLR knock-off
)
I figure I'd name her Flo b/c Firenze is what Italians refer to the city of Florence. Florence = Flo!
