Lemon lime anyone?
FOR SALE: Raleigh Cadent 2 converted for cross or gravel! Size: Medium (5’-6” to 5’-10”)
It’s the time of year to work through some of my used bikes and give them the Celerity Cycles treatment! This Raleigh started as a hybrid with lower end and HEAVY parts, so I tore it down and started over. The steel flat bars were swapped for some aluminum Salsa Woodchipper drop bars. The steel triple crankset was replaced with an aluminum Sram 1x with a 40T narrow-wide chainring and the Tourney 8-speed drivetrain was swapped in favor of a brand new Microshift Advent 9-speed drivetrain with a clutched rear derailleur and 11-46T cassette. I also swapped the Promax disk calipers for some lightly used road-pull Sram BB7’s, which were needed to work properly with the road drop bar levers.
All the consumables have been refreshed as well. It has brand new tubes and 38mm Teravail Cannonball tires, a new KMC X9 chain, new bottom bracket, cables, handlebar tape and pedals. It’s practically a brand new bike! With all of these changes, I was able to shed THREE POUNDS off this bike (28 to 25lbs), make it much more modern and kept the budget low for a beginner rider.
All that being said, I’m asking $650, sales tax included, for this one. As always, my used bikes come with a one year warranty on drivetrain and brake components and comes with a complimentary fit and safety check/adjustment after the first few rides.
Come check it out!
