vendetta front triangle for sale

[Doby]

I'm cleaning out the garage. I have an early vendetta front triangle ( fork, chainstay, and boom/slider ) in which I have no use for. The chainstay is a short 16''. Accepting any nominal offer. Shipping should be about $20. Great condition. Small chip in chainstay (pictured).

How much does something like this go for? Just curiosity.

This is an unusual item - a front triangle without a frame - I haven’t seen one for sale in the 5 years I have been on the forum. Usually it is a whole bike, sometimes a frame-set which would include the front triangle and seat. You will occasionally see different sized chain stays, seat pads, wheels, bags, racks and other accessories.

Just noticed this one looks like it was a customer weld job. My earlier Yellow Vendetta's main aluminum tube was straight. Hmm - Would have liked to have picked this one up! - but missed it.

I think this was an earlier prototype based on this pic:

One of these was sold not too long ago:

Yes, that is the bike I purchased last year. Unfortunately the chainstays were to short. New chainstays do not interface with older products so I had to purchase a new boom, slider, chainstay, and fork from Cruzbike. (approx. $600.) Sold the front half and was able to purchase a suspension headrest with the proceeds. I have a few hundred miles under my belt now a feel much better at speed. Starts are still hit or miss, especially with any incline. Fortunately there are a miles of rail trails in the area so I don't have to embarrass myself on the public roads. Love the performance and comfort.
