bump. Check out http://www.ryanlevinson.com, search my ST posts, or sdrhino on ebay if you want to know more about me as a seller. This is a good deal on a solid frame. I just don't need a zillion bikes and this one is in the best condition.

I can vouch for this here fella'
Besides being a heck of a guy, he's real fast on them there cycles. Ask nicely and he might play his banjo fer ya.

Hey Dave! Was just thinking 'bout you. The new MDA Magazine just came out and they put that pic of you and I shaking hands during the NY City Tri run. 'Ya know, the one they took right before before you crushed me in the final sprint... ;-)

Hope to see you soon! (Xterra??...)
Ryan

Hey Man!!!
Where can I get my hands on that mag? Can i get one through MDA? I don't have any plans for XTERRA, that would mean I'd have to ride my MTB:) Right now, I'm planning on hitting St Anthony's in April...hoping to register tomorrow...hoping!
NYC again for you? I'm planning on being there.
Stay cool and hope to see ya soon,
David

St. As is a good race. Nicole is registering tomorrow. I'll probably race too, we'll see. A lot of races on the plate next season, but its a good easy course and a lot of fun. Let me know if you get in!

I have always ridden a 54cm bike..cervelo soloist and trek 5000, yet I thoguht I would ride a Medium in most bikes. How tall are you and what is your inseam?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric,
I am 5'10" and have a 34" (86.4cm) inseam. My Specialized road bikes are 54cm. This frame is like a Trek with a slightly sloping top tube. Clark, the guy who designed the bike, told me the benefits of the slightly compact design is it allows more latitude on seat height. IOW, you could fit a frame more by reach and thus be correctly balanced between the wheels. Dunno if there is anything to that, but it works great for me and as a bonus it looks cool! Please let me know if you need any more information!
Thanks,
Ryan

Free bump--I can vouch for this frame--built one up last spring, and it rides as well as anything else in the stable--colnago, de rosa, cervelo, etc.

Can also be built up pretty light--I use mine for a climbing rig--13.22 lbs., without using anything too crazy.

Thanks for the vouch. Wondering why noone has jumped on this yet, Abici couldn't keep these in stock when they first came out. The SDBC Cat 1/2 Elite team chose them for their team bike. For the price it is a steal on a great frame. Anyway, thanks again!

Not sure why someone has not jumped on this either--although this crowd is known to be cheap!

(oops, didn't realize the last post was to the forum...)

Regardless, a couple of you PMd me wanting the Abici website. Clark, the owner, closed shop last year after he was in a series of bad accidents (bike vs. car). The company was started by Clark and Roy Knickman (former pro from La Vie Claire, the Tour winning team under LeMond). Roy is now a firefighter in Los Angeles.

An archive of the most recent Abici website (even has my photo on it) can be found at:

I'm not positive the seatpost diameter, but the same seatpost fits my Specialized Stumpjumper. A seatpost binder is included with the frame as is a der. hanger.

LMK if anyone needs any more information!
Thanks-
Ryan
