S30 for sale < 200 miles

[Earle Kirkland]

Gentlemen, I have an S30 for sale. A few scuffs from learning, otherwise in excellent shape. Did a seat mod for the headrest; nothing that can't be undone. Selling because I'm not a racer and just took up Mountain Biking. Make an offer.

Hello Earle ........ nice bike. Do you know what you'd like to get for it?

Chiming in with a side note: I own and ride a V20, S30, and S40. While I put the most miles on the V20, I love riding the S30. It is great for centuries and fast social rides. It is the "just right" middle ground between the V20 and S40. Cruzbike doesn't make it anymore, and they come up for sale infrequently. So if you're torn between choosing the V20 and S40, here's a rare chance to own the one right in the middle.

David,

Getting it to a good home is my first concern, it was $4000+ (as you know)...I'd like to get $2300 for it. Let me know if you are interested. I'm in SanFrancisco.

Earle,
Quite interested, I’m just venturing into the recumbent world on a T-50 and looking for more performance but not ready commit to a V20. I’d be willing to pay your asking price if you’d be willing to ship to 36561. Are the scuffs you mentioned on the left side of the seat?
Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

The scuffs are on the ends of the handlebars, the white marks on the left side is tape I was using to create a backing to move the angle of the back rest. I think the spot you are seeing on the seat is just some dust. I'll take close up shots of you are interested. Let me check on the packing/shipping costs and I'll get back to you.

Best,
Earle

If you buy this bike, buy the pump for the headset so you can adjust it. Also I'd recommend moving the water bottles to under the seat. These bikes handle best when the weight is low and centered. If you need to carry stuff, the underseat bag that Cruzbike sells is excellent. If you need to carry more stuff, look in these forums for a variety of racks that can be installed. (With some minor adjustments.) Same for flags, lights etc.

I haven't ridden all the other bikes but I am happy with my S30.

This is the 2016 model that did not use the front suspension.

Note the unique paint job. Not many of these out there.

This is a rare model of an S30. The last version before S40. It was unique in that it had a rigid front and a suspended rare end. Then topping it all up with a moderate seat reclne angle of 33deg . It's a rare gem!

If I was living in the USA and with the $$$$ I would buy it without hesitation.

This version does not have front suspension. No need for the pump.

This is the late-model S30, with the unsuspended fork. The seat angle is 33 degrees, rather than the 28 of the suspended S30. I have one. I recommend it.

Anyone who wants to get lots of responses to their comment should take note of @BikeGary's brilliance: find a piece of trivia, even in making a minor mistake you will get many corrections and thereby many quotes and many responses. Soon you will be a not-guru like me, not!

I’m interested. How about $2000? And could you ship it to Florida?
Thanks
