Up for sale is a hand crafted Robert Beckman Designs Sakkit 26 Expedition touring bike with powdwercoated front/rear racks and 2 Discovery Modular 3600 panniers and 2 EL 24 or 2600 panniers. Anyone who has shopped for an RBD bike with all of the frills knows 2 things: 1. these bikes are very pricey 2. they take forever to be built and shipped. Here's your chance to own a truly beautiful and well designed touring bike.
This bike belonged to my late step-father who passed away this past December. I don't think (by the looks of the bike and equipment) he got to use the bike the way he always intended. Being that he retired from the military after 27 yrs. there were not too many things overlooked when he got involved with a project like this one. Too, he took great care of anything he posessed.

My 3,000 price is fairly firm. You can do some research to see just how much was spent on this bike and gear. I ballpark it at well over 5000 dollars see as how the frame sets and Shimano components alone started at 3000 dollars in 2000-2001 when the bike was built. The bike has been well kept out of the elements and has little miles on it. You can search Carigslist in the Austin area for Sakkit.
