THE STORY
When I bought this bike from Bike Friday in 2000 it was a standard Air Friday touring bike with 21 gears using a SRAM 3x7 instead of a front derailleur. The frame has all of the hangers, stops and bosses necessary for a standard multi-gear touring bike, including those for a clamp-on front derailleur, rear derailleur, and front and rear racks.

After a few years, I decided the set-up was too complicated for the short-range workouts I was using it for on business trips, and I had Bike Friday make me a single speed rear wheel. It is easier to pack and unpack and perfect for getting a little outdoor exercise in the cities and resorts. These days I don’t travel as much and I have other bikes to ride. I use it mostly as a “Townie.” It has less than 2,000 miles on it.

THE DEAL
You can have it as is, as a single speed, or you can have the SRAM 3x7 version unassembled. I still have all the parts, including Shimano RSX brifters. Either way, $1100. Both ways $1200. Plus shipping. Paypal preferred.
