Nov 2, 2023Helix Ultra-light titanium folding bike, like new
$4900 CADHi, this is the nicest folder in the world. One size fits just about all. Bought for a trip, but the trip fell through, so the bike has only about 20km riding on it, essentially me just testing it out.
This bike weighs just over 20lbs, and has some seriously nice parts:
Handlebar - Carbon fiber, 31.8mm, 580mm width
Brakes - XTR
Saddle - Tioga Undercover Stratum, 285mm x 140mm, Ti rails
Crankset - SRAM XX1 Eagle DUB, carbon,
Chainring - SRAM XX1 Eagle 36t, narrow-wide
Pedals - Wellgo QRD-I M142
Rims - Stans Crest MK4
Spokes - Pillar, double butted, stainless, black Ti plated
Nipples - Pillar, aluminum
Tires - Helix Ultralight 24" x 1.25" (ETRTO 32-507), 120 tpi, 55-60 psi folding bead with puncture protection (220g/tire)
Tubes - Tubolito 24SV
Front Wheel Axle - Titanium Gr5
Dropouts - Titanium Gr5
Rear Hub - HubSmith, 135mm x 12mm thru-axle, XD-R driver, 48 POE, 28h
Rear Derailleur - Shimano Dura-Ace RD-R9100-SS, 11 Speed
Cassette - e13 XCX 11 Speed (9-34t)
Shifter - Shimano RS-700
Unique folding design, check it out here: https://helix.ca/store/product/?productID=1
I can confirm that it's rock solid, feels planted, no weird noises etc. Frame is warrantied for 10 years, and the warranty is transferrable to new owners, as per https://helix.ca/support/warranty/
I had to wait for years to get one of these, production was sold out well in advance for over 5 years. Skip the line, get one that is basically brand new, and save a bunch of money. I'm happy to ship to Canada and the USA only, via paypal and to paypal verified addresses only.
Thanks for looking...

Apr 15, 2023Santa Cruz Tallboy CC, XL frame, almost new
$4485 CAD2020 Tallboy CC, about 12 rides on this bike over one season of use. It's in excellent condition, no damage. I'm 47 and have to finally say goodbye to MTB after 35 years riding as my back can no longer take the impacts. Priced to sell, fits a little smaller for an XL, more like a slightly larger L I'd say, which is what I typically have ridden. Colour is a very dark eggplant, with black labels.
Here's a review of the bike:

Apr 29, 2019Santa Cruz Nomad v4 size Large, mint, stock
$4000 CADUp for sale is a matte tan Santa Cruz Nomad, 2018, purchased new by me from Steed in North Vancouver. The bike has only been ridden about 6 times, and as such is pretty much mint condition. There are no signs of wear. This nomad is stock, no modification.
Here are the specs: https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-CA/nomad-my18
This is the Nomad C S configuration. I have a receipt for $7454 from last year. So, big savings, nice bike. Reason for selling: Family obligations are keeping me from the trails.
Bike to be sold with DX pedals in good shape...
Let me know if you'd like to see it... Please no offers until you've seen it. I'll ignore any lowballers, I'm not in a rush.
Please, local buyers only, no shipping. No trades.
Thanks!

Apr 5, 2016Merlin Roots #44/50 - Rohloff equipped grail bike
$3500 CADHi there,
up for sale is one very collectible Merlin Roots. This is the last version of the Newsboy series Merlin periodically built starting in the early 1990's. This bike dates to 2005 or so.
If you're interested in this bike, you likely already know something about it. For those that are curious here are a few links:

http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/tech.php?id=tech/2005/news/02-21
A collector's bike from day 1, these sold originally in the 7K USD range.
Titanium frame, Rohloff internally geared hub, etc., etc. Bike is 9/10 condition. Just a few marks here and there, no scratches. All original except for the stem and tires.
Please no trades. No holds. No scams. On eBay, these bikes fetch around the 4000 USD mark. So, considerable savings in CDN. Yes, American friends, I will sell to you.
Thanks!

Grip it Rip it: It's Going to be a Shore Thing - Video
25 years riding Vancouver/ the shore... Happy to see some variety away from the rooty, clangy, gnar. There is tons of it up there, and breezing down some bermy flowy trails is just plain fun.
