  Subject: [Bent] Great deal on a Challenge Mistral


  I am moving to a smaller apartment and need to sell my Challenge Mistral, which 
  -- though a great bike -- I just don't ride enough to justify keeping around. 
   It's a steal for someone -- I'm asking just $600 for local (Manhattan Upper 
  East Side) pickup if I can sell it within the next month.

  This is a fully suspended USS recumbent bike perfect for long day rides, 
  touring, commuting, or just riding around town. The bike is one-size-fits most; 
  I'm 5'10" with about a 43" x-seam and there's certainly room to adjust either 
  way.

  The specs include the following:

  Avid mechanical disc brakes
  Phil Wood disc front hub
  SRAM dualdrive disc rear hub
  Velocity Aeroheat rims
  Vredestein Moiree tires (35-406)
  54 speeds -- 15-138 gear inches!!! (60 and 39 chainrings, 11-34 9-speed 
  cassette, internal hub that can be shifted when you are stopped)
  Shimano 105 cranks (170mm), Deore LX front derailer, Deore XT rear derailer
  Bar end shifters (three of them!)

  Lots of extras, including:
  Front and rear SKS fenders
  Rear rack (removable)
  TransIt rack-top bag
  Crank Brothers eggbeater pedals
  Bottle cages mounted on both sides of the seat

  The bike is orange.  It is in decent shape but shows signs of wear -- scratches 
  and scuffs, mostly, and the paint is a little faded is some places.

  The front suspension seems to bottom out frequently; I can't figure out if I'm 
  not adjusting it properly or if it needs a need suspension cartridge (available 
  from Angletech or other Challenge dealers). I'm not mechanically adept, so it 
  could just be me.

  Thanks.
  Ben
