Background: In the summer of 2009, I built this custom touring bike from personally selected components with a several-month cross-country grand tour in mind for the spring of 2010. It cost a total of $4000+ but I knew I had an ultra-reliable bike for My Grand Tour. Unfortunately fate threw a dog under my front wheel in March of 2010 (different bike). After ten days in the hospital and some titanium internal bracing, I spent three months in a wheelchair and another six months learning how to ride again which pretty much blew the rest of 2010. In trying to train this year, I have come to the realization that after 6+ decades of life I just don’t heal the way I used to and the probability of my doing any long distance touring is remote. As a consequence I am selling my prize touring bike and move to a mount that is more appropriate for the shorter distances I am able to do now. I am willing to sell the bike in its entirety or sell just the frame and wheels separately to use the remaining components to build the new steed.

Pricing: The current price for a Co-Motion Nor’Wester Tour is $3376 (frameset $1695). Add $700 for the S&S couplers, $360 for the Case, and $79 for the padding kit and it comes to a total of $4515 and that’s without the bombproof Phil Woods wheels! (Or a total of $2834 for just the frame, S&S couplers, travel case, and padding kit)
PRICE:
Entire Bike, Travel Case and Padding Kit - $3400 for the above bicycle (minus pedals, saddle, and rack) including the travel case, shipped to you in the continental United States or $3100 for local pickup in Middle Tennessee.
Frame, Travel Case and Padding Kit - $2400 (I will include the brake and derailleur cable quick connects also)
