Asking $2500 plus shipping from 98072.
I purchased this from another member of the community, without wheels or crankset (by mutual agreement) expecting to just switch to disc brakes, pop on a set of wheels, connect all the cables, and be ready to ride.
I didn't realize 1. 700x28c is the max tire size for a Vendetta. 2. as an older bike, the drive wheel is 130mm (and I no longer had any 130mm rear wheels). I also learned later that disc brakes on the older V20s would probably have been "a challenge". Between the time and money spent trying to get around these challenges (I believe I now own the only remaining 130mm rear disc hub on the planet - unfortunately 9 speed) to having a V20 configured that way I would like it, and experiencing what it actually feels like to to lean back on a 20 degree seat, I realize this is not the bike for me
I've completed the bike. It has a brand new out of the box set of Vision Team 25 Wheel 700Cwheels, with equally new 700x28c Conti Grand Pirx 4000sII tires and tubes; a used SRAM Force 22 170mm 50/34 crankset and Shimano 105 11/34 11 speed cassette. The rest of the components are what Cruzbike typically includes. Sram Rival shifters and derailleurs, and Apex rim brakes, and chain. It has a Ventisit, and a brand new spare bottom bracket clamp.
Some of the cables it came with were frayed, so I will include a new set, and replacement brake hoods, since it came with one hood held together with electrical tape.
