Hey guys,

Send me your email for pics. This bike looks like it’s brand new. There’s very little wear on the frame or parts. I’m posting this bike on here because we don’t get many walk-in customers looking for high-end bikes like this.
Stop by the East Village location of Recycle-A-Bicycle (75 Ave C, Manhattan) and ask for me (Patrick). If you mention this ad, I will give you 10% off the bike.

Looking for 54cm Road Bike

Submitted by KKincaid on Wed, 12/01/2010 - 1:09pm

Hi All - I'm looking for a 54cm road bike, preferably women's - but that's not necessary. I'm still somewhat of a beginner ( I try to ride at least twice a week- short, weekday rides being about 25 miles, longer rides being about 50-60) but I hope to start riding more and even entering some races in the Spring. Therefore I am looking for a solid "first bike" that can transition from longer rides to shorter, quicker rides. I don't need, nor can I afford, anything too fancy...but a good, solid bike that can last me a few years before I -hopefully- upgrade again.

Ideally, I'd love a good bike, model that's been well loved/used but is no longer used as much (ie, has been replaced by newer/better models & is now just taking up space in an apt), and therefore is priced as such.

A22 ride Saturday 12/4 7.30 GWB NJ side

Submitted by Jvan den Berg on Tue, 11/30/2010 - 11:31pm

CRCA/Foundation - NYCC ride. Please join. Our ride will be 40-50 miles allowing us to be back in the city by 10 a.m. or 10.30 a.m. Route will be more or less like this: http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/nj/-fort-lee/294128958030251026 but we may vary. Tempo ride in a single cooperative rotating paceline. We will try to maintain the posted 22 mph speed on the flats and we will NOT be waiting for stragglers on the flats. We will regroup atop the hills. Maybe one rest-stop, maybe none, so bring enough pocket food and two full water bottles.

3 Hills in 3 Hours, Saturday, December 4, 10 a.m., B16-ish, meet at Eleanor

Submitted by JFinder on Tue, 11/30/2010 - 7:13pm

This is not a technical ride, so strong C riders (and *CASUAL* A riders) are welcome too.

We'll take River Road, then come back down 9W and tackle Churchill and Walnut, regrouping after each climb. This ride is about fellowship and commiseration, not speed. The average speed for the day may be about 12-14. Your Leader is a B rider, but a SLOW climber. Most of the time I'll be either warming up or recovering. So ... please be kind.

No lunch break; bring snacks and two water bottles. No cue sheet; the ride's in my head. Bring your own maps or directions if you like.
