This was my first tri bike. I bought it last year on this site and raced it several times, including my first Olympic distance. It's a Quintana Roo Private Reserve and I think I'm the third owner. First owner was a female pro triathlete. It no longer has the original paint job - it's painted gray. DuraAce real derailleur. Bullhorn bars, Syntace aerobars. The seat is fraying a little at the edge but other than that it's in good condition, no rust. I had the shifting worked on at my LBS because it was rough at first, now it works beautifully. New handlebar tape and tires. I'd throw in the aerobar water bottle. This was a fun bike and it fits me really well, but nearly all my riding is with roadies and I just don't use this bike enough to justify keeping it. I'm selling it to put the cash toward a tandem to ride with my little boy.

I can sell it with or without the Look pedals that came with it, they're fairly dated.

I'd like to get $400 out of it because I paid $350 and I've put at least a few hundred into improving it, but make me an offer. This would be a great entry level tri bike for a woman my size. I'm typing up all this from memory so if you have a specific question about it I'll be happy to check the bike and report back. I'll also get some pictures posted if anyone wants to see it.

More details:

19" top tube
Cane Creek titanium brakes (they're definitely Cane Creek, and I was told they're titanium, but how would I know?)
Profile stem
Shimano 600 front derailleur and crank
I need to weigh it, but it's very light. I can easily carry it in one hand.

I have it sitting in my living room waiting for me to get my act together and take pictures. Yes it's still for sale, probably because I haven't posted pictures yet. I'll try to get organized tonight and put them up. Work has been a little crazed lately.

Okay, here's a first set of photos. They seem dark to me and I'll probably have to go back and take more. Let me know what you'd like to see that you can't. The things I want to point out are the wear on the seat and the quality of the various components, which is above average. I've been traveling the last few days and my husband took the photos. The front wheel pictured (with reflector) isn't the bike's real front wheel. I swapped it out for the front wheel of my road bike on a day when I needed a fast tire change. I'll switch them back as soon as the road bike and tri bike are in the same place. The wheels look very much alike - nothing special or aero about it. Also - just thought of it - the wheels are 26", not 700s.

As you may or may not be able to see, there are yellow decals on the gray paint job that say "Steve" on the downtube and "Multisport" on the top tube. I've taken off some of them and they come off very easily.

Does it have a carbon fork. The private reserves I have seen have had a carbon fork but I can't really tell from your pictures?

Nope, no carbon fork. I don't know what year this is, but it doesn't have the carbon fork or aerodynamic tubes that the newer models have.

Still for sale. Working on getting better pictures - my excuse now is that I'm lazy. I'd be willing to have my LBS pack it up professionally and ship it if you're too far to come for it.
