hey does anyone want to buy my sofrider so i can get a q45? since i show cb's to a lot of people who are looking it seems smarter for me to have a q45 than my sofrider. this bike was NOS to me last year, so it is like brand new and the drive line is set up for distance touring.

okay here is how it is equipped. bike has less than 1000 miles on it since i built it. i dont know what version it is, i presume the last but i dont know.

tektro rim brakes wide
sram sx4 3x8 grip shifts
sram x5 rear derailleur.
micro shift front derailleur
11-32 cassette
ultegra triple crankset. 165 cranks 52/42/40 rings
stock seat
stock seat pad but very new with embroidery
stock handle bars
kspeed 258 shock with 850lb/in spring
Bontrager H2 26x 1.5 tires
velocity rear wheel
xrim y2000 front rim
shimano spd pedals
bell

the bike has a few nicks on it and one of the cruzbike decals has a mar.

how much? as much as i can get. given how it is set up and how clean it is, this is not a fire sale. i am only trying to sell it to get a q45 so when people come to look at and test ride cruzbikes i will have a more current version of this style CB. i have a v20, an s40, and a t50. (i cant see myself leaving the q45 stock but at least it will be a current Q.

the bike is perfectly set up for full range touring and riding. the longest ride i did on it was 125 one day on the kal haven trail and some roadways. the suspension makes it very comfortable. because of gearing and range, it will climb until the wheels slip, and it can go really fast if you have the power. it rides well in the winter when i put studded tires on it. this is the perfect use of a triple think of it: the low gear is 30-34 and the high gear is 52-11.

You forgot the most important selling feature in your worded spec list: gorgeous blue colour. Thankfully the pictures showed it.

@chengsun This probably is the best equipped Sofrider possibly in the best condition. It will compare very well with any Quest or QX100. And you can get some lessons too from an experienced and great teacher.

This is a V3 because no front suspension. I do not see a price posted anywhere. Is this still available? I do not have a Version 3 softrider for my Cruzbike Museum - send me an email please - Thanks, Larry
