For Saleeeee
August 30th, 2006 by Tim Grahl29er Wily Cycles 20″Wily cycles: Boulder, CO
It pains me to sell this bike, because in many ways it rides better than my custom, but I don’t have the room for two mountain bikes. Here’s your chance to try all the things you’ve been hearing about: 29″ wheels, steel!, rigid fork, singlespeed. The frame was built with a derailleur hanger and all of the cable braze-ons, so it can be turned into a geared bike if that is what you’re interested in; I have it set up as a singlespeed with a White Industries ENO rear hub. I’ve been nice to the frame, and it has a really beautiful and durable powdercoat finish applied by the masters at Spectrum Powder Works, so there are no large scratches or defects; the logos are all painted and under the clerarcoat. Also, it has geometry adjusted for an 80mm suspension fork.
Geometry is as follows:
seat tube (c to c): 20.0″
toptube (effective): 24.7″
headtube length: 5.0″
headtube angle: 72.0 degrees
seat tube angle: 73.5 degrees
chainstay length: 17.4″
BB height: on the tall side at 12.35″ to prevent pedal strikes
Parts include:
Pink King headset
Surly Karate Monkey fork
Profile cranks and 34 tooth Imperial chainwheel
FSA bottom bracket
Paul and ENO hubs laced 3-cross with double butted spokes to DT TK 7.1 rims
Thomson stem
Easton monkeylite riser bar
Phil Wood 18 tooth cog
WTB spped V saddle (never ridden)
Avid mechanical disc brake, 180mm rotor

Why would anyone drop two grand for this bike??? First of all its a singlespeed with ridgid fork so all it’s good for is street riding, also it’s a steel frame so it’s going be a heavy bike! And let me just add that this bike pretty damn ugly! Guys, just take a second and think about what you willing to pay so muck for. You could pick up a high-end DUAL-SUSP’ 29er for the same price that you guys are offering for thins THING!
Anonymous is a troll that wants to buy this thing on the cheap. What “high end” FS 29er can be had for $2k? Most “high end” FS frames cost nearly that much.
That buy it now price the owner has up on Ebay is funny!
For Seven Burrows. King started their pretty and strong campaign last week. Your local shap can get you a pink headset fro normal retail right now. King even has single speed disc hubsets in pink available.
SOUPBOY!! there was a gary fisher 292 perfect condition on ebay with buy now price under $2k that went for just over $1500 so why don’t you do your homework before you make such comments!
