Used Xtracycle bikes – save big on a sports utility bike

Icon Written by Morgan Giddings on November 10, 2008 – 9:11 am

In addition to a used Big Dummy, we have two Xtracycle equipped bikes for sale. (**11/30/09 – These bikes have been sold. We do sell used cargo and xtracycles occasionally, so stay posted, or join our email list for more info)

First up is a bike that was sold to a customer, used less than 10 times, then returned by the customer because she wasn’t able to use it. This is a Marin San Rafael Euro (now called the EZ Step), wedded to an Xtracycle Freeradical kit. Brand new, this setup retails for about $1,100. We are offering this used for $790 – over $300 off the normal price, for a very lightly used bike. The frame is 17″, designed for someone who is in the low to mid 5′ range, height wise. Please drop us a line if you are interested. Here are some pictures:

Second up is Morgan’s own used Xtracycle. She is building up a new Big Dummy for herself, with a slick continuously variable transmission by Nuvinci. So, sadly, her trusty Xtracycle rig has to go. This is a classic – based on a pink 1992 Stumpjumper frame made with Tange Prestige tubing and matching Specialized rigid fork. The bike has Deore XT components, a really nice Bontrager road triple crankset, platform pedals, and of course, the Xtracycle. Morgan is asking $525 for this, so it is like getting a used Xtracycle kit for $350 and bike for $175. Or something like that. Did I mention that it has the very comfortable Nitto Albatross bars? Or the SweetSkinz nightwing tires?

This bike setup is ideal for a tall(ish) person, 5′11-6′3 or thereabouts. Drop us a line if you’d like to see the bike, or inquire about having it shipped.

Now is a great time to get one of these – last summer, these were sold out nationwide for three months.

Gas will get expensive again….

There’s a cool new utility bike on its way to us, the Yuba Mundo.

Assuming that initial testing goes well, we’ll be carrying this in two configurations, the singlespeed version for around $749, and the 6-speed version for around $799.

This cargo bike can carry up to

440 pounds of payload
!

That’s 2-3 adults.
or 900 bananas
or 10 kayaks (whitewater variety)
or 25 lightweight racing bikes
or a baby cow
or way more tofu than you care to eat in a lifetime, unless you really like it a lot.

Also, we already have some Xtracycle Freeradical units in stock, which is a way to convert your own bike into a sports utility bike.

Either of these bikes can be paired with an electric assist kit like the Crystalyte or the eZee to give you the ultimate sports utility bike experience (we’d love to carry the

Stokemonkey
, but those aren’t available at the moment).

Email us, or keep an eye out for our shopping cart, coming soon.
