I know I'll regret this, but I'm selling this bike that I bought new in the fall of 2008 and probably rode less than 100 miles. That said, the tires and tubes are original, tubes leak, and both should probably be replaced.
I paid well over $1k not including the extra accessories.
I used it to get to/from work along The Strand back when I worked out of a friend's house in Hermosa Beach, but unfortunately didn't make a habit of doing that.
This is a great bike, but I haven't been riding it in years and it's been sitting locked up in the garage collecting dust. I'll take it down and clean off the dust in the next few days so these photos will have to do for now.
Selling it as you see it, including the storage on the rear rack, plus I believe I have one or two paniers somewhere (also New condition) that I'll throw in. Pretty sure I updated the original peddles with the ones that are on it now and I probably have its original peddles somewhere.
Anyways, if you're a biking enthusiast, especially a mountain biking enthusiast, then you're probably well aware of Joe Breezer and his legacy. The Uptown commuter has Shimano in-hub gears, front hub generator, pretty much all aluminum construction and parts. It's a solid well-made bike probably unmatched by most of what's made new these days.
Price is firm, cash only and you pick up in S Redondo Beach.
