Segmented wishbone rear triangle topped with pennies
Brass 10th anniversary Sycip headbadge
Brand new xt cranks
Handbuilt Sycip goodness made in Sonoma, California by
a true mastercraftsman out of reynolds 853 steel
Time to swap West coast handbuilt steel love for some East Coast bling....definitely mid-life crisis time. But it could be worse, better to lose it with boutique bikes than Porshes and clubbing right?
So the trusty Sycip is up for sale. This bike has seen a lifetime of riding and is still awesome. Jeremy has a certain mojo that can't really be described as he is such a cool guy and artist. The frame is about 8 years old but in great shape. It has some newer parts and has been adjusted from the Bomber fireroad descender to a bit of a woodsy bike. How did I ever ride with a 130 stem? Swoopy fireroads I guess. A much more east coast 105 has recently been added and she handles like a dream now!
Ok so the low down;

ReplyDeleteSold to Yash! So stoked--Yash you will love it!
ReplyDeleteTo all, I will race Pat's peak and qualify for nationals again on this baby.
ReplyDeleteThank you Chip for a deal of a lifetime.
I am just happy that the Sycip will be in good hands! And Pats Peak is going to rock!
ReplyDeleteJust one more day, and it will be mine.
ReplyDeleteMr. Katsumi, your new Mtn bike awaits! Cleaned it top to bottom, still has some cutler mud on it...but it is a mtn bike right? Greased the seatpost, adjusted the deraillers! She's looking good!
ReplyDeleteYash said that he will be racing this beast at Fat Tire next weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis will be the first time the Sycip Top tube will have tears drip on them. I predict lap 3 tears will be shed.
