“These retail for over $8000 and the S&S couplers are a $2000 upgrade.” lolol
These are the made up prices for a bike that Slawta won’t make anymore
points for asking high I guess…
Not sure where my obsession with Kawahara come from but I wish this was smaller/cheaper.
Also…I hate “make an offer” stuff but this could be a deal for somebody. Anyone know if the end caps are swappable?
Don’t look like disc hubs, what would you swap end caps for?
TA rim brake!

Rim brake only, so you’d need a source of inexpensive 18 (or 36) hole rims to lace to it so you won’t be out a fistful of money when (off-)road grit eats the brake tracks. (In 650b, it would be easy; look for a place that sells cheap Zac19s, then skip-lace away. Dunno what the world of cheap 700c 18/36 hole rims looks like.)
And straight-pull spokes. Ewww.
i want to troll with that so badly! been making this joke for like 8 years now!
Can’t get a T-A no-disco dynohub or I would have been all over that years ago.
Fwiw, NC craigslist is littered with i9 hubs that failed due to their poor sealing method

Hand built by me in 2008 Surley Crosscheck
If this bike was a car it would be a BMW 8 series.
I will only respond to legitimate offers!-)

This is the kind of dumb thing I would go get without any project in mind…but really, how often do you come across a rigid lefty?
If it wasn’t on a 24" wheeled kids bike I’d have it already.

You need to buy that now for later.
Seems like it’s the whole bike for $80.

but it’s suspension corrected!
doesn’t that mean it’s in the perfect 390-420mm axle-to-crown range for road bikes?
