2012 Specialized Shiv TT: Brand new, in box
I'm selling a 2012 Specialized Shiv TT (S-Works, matte black, UCI legal). As you can see, the original foam wrapping is still attached. The box that the fork is resting on is still sealed and contains all of the accessories (see below for full list). This bike has never been ridden (indoors or out), never mounted....it is absolutely, literally "brand new" (not "figuratively like new" like some people claim in their listings). It is made from their latest FACT 11r carbon layup.

This is the 2012 Shiv TT module that lists for $6,100. (Beware: Some sellers are attempting to sell the 2011 version and claim that it is $6,100; that version was $5,500 MSRP.) This 2012 edition is the amazing matte black. You can see details from Specialized on their product page here. This is fully UCI legal, and reports show that it is every bit as fast as the non-UCI-legal version across the full sweep of yaw angles. It can be built up fairly easily in the 16.5-pound range...including a rear disc and deep front wheel, which is pretty remarkable.


For an item like this, I suspect we will want to talk via phone. I am happy to provide my phone number (or call you if you send yours) to help you understand if this is the right bike for you and for us both to feel more comfortable. I also know quite a bit about fitting the Shiv, so I am happy to help you out, even if this is not the right bike for you. The Shiv actually fits a far wider spectrum of riders than one might thing, as I have come to understand.

I'm asking $5,199 but will consider all reasonable offers.


Included are the following items:

  • The frame itself, which is a "495" (size Large)
  • The aerodynamic fork
  • The Specialized S-Works III carbon crankset w/ carbon spider -- the lightest, stiffest crankset out there (the crank arms alone sell for $300; the carbon spider is $120; and the Specialized TT 53/39 rings are $460 by themselves...that is, if you can find any of them. Specialized is perpetually out of stock.
  • The S-Works TEAM 53/39T chainrings as mentioned above are included, and they have a machined cut-out should you wish to use a Quarq power meter. These rings are incredibly stiff and more aerodynamic than standard open rings.
  • Aero front and rear brakes (TRP 920 front -- center pull; TRP 922 rear), integrated with the design of the frame
  • Shiv brake levers
  • Custom Shiv stem
  • Custom Shiv aerodynamic carbon base bar
  • Shiv aero (TT) extensions
  • Ceramic bottom bracket bearings ($125 from Specialized!)
  • Two carbon seatposts -- one for forward positions, one for zero offset. You can get as far forward as you would ever want to on this frame.
  • A box filled with all of the spacers you could imagine for dialing in your position.
  • Brake cables (inner & housing)

Here's what you need to add to be off and riding:
  • Wheels & tires (including cassette)
  • Chain
  • Front and rear derailleurs (& cable)
  • TT shifters
  • Saddle
  • Bar tape

That's it!


This bike is professionally packaged in the sturdy Shiv original shipping box, with all foam, bubble wrap, and protection that Specialized uses.

I only charge actual shipping costs for this frame; if the amount you pay for shipping is more than I am charged, I refund the difference. It is an oversized package, though it is rather light. I have a reputation for treating buyers the way I hope to be treated - with accurate descriptions, great communication, and fast shipping. Generally speaking, I will ship the very same day I receive payment, via UPS or FedEx Ground. Insurance is your option but recommended.



Thanks for your interest!
