Bridgestone XO-2 52cm for sale in Winter Park, Florida

$595

This is the iconic Bridgestone bike you've heard about! It's all original. Ivory Tusk color, has Shimano components and moustache bars. The purple photo is there so you can see a different setup. The Serfas Drifter tires are fat and cushy, paired with cantilever brakes and sweet rims. There's absolutely nothing to avoid you from placing on a set of thin roadway tires. It's got a triple crank in front, so you can go torquey and really slow-moving or get some speed. The thumb shifters are indexed (click each equipment) and accurate. The bars put you in a good, aerodynamic position. The pedals are weighted and clipless on one side and flat on the other. I take place to love the Avocet saddle, possibly even more than a Brooks due to the fact that it's cushioned just enough and a little more comfy.

Due to the fact that its strong as a horse, you can fit this with racks and panniers and load it up. It's got a tough Blackburn back rack.

There's something special about the XO series. Grant Peterson created these bikes and began a cult following that lasts to this day since they are strong, practical, flight like a dream and last forever. They do not make XO's any more however one company has actually begun making a replica. Grant now runs a bike company called Rivendell This XO-2 is has actually a butted steel frame and the paint glows simply a little.

It will certainly constantly be worth $595 or even more and I think if you care, it's valuable to some degree due to the fact that XO production was limited. Mostly I'll say that once you ride it, you'll understand what a superlative hybrid is all about. It's truly an enjoyable bike to ride. And, strong enough that if you happen to strike a big fracture, you'll likely do fine. The Drifter tires will assist a lot if you ride on tracks or broken streets.

It's got Ritchey Vantage Sport 26" rims, those pedals are Shimano SPD's on the clipless side and it's even got a good Greenfield kickstand you can use. I don't understand why anybody would not desire one in the city. However, that's completely up to you.

Components like these are what made these bikes so desirable. They have an useful, no fluff mix of good things. And, a reasonable price. Grant Peterson wrote some remarkable copy, too. Look into the page I've added about XO-2's he wrote. And, if you have time, go to and read a little written of, by and for people who much like to ride. And can afford to, cuz guy Riv's ain't inexpensive. The Atlantis is the descendent of the XO.

There's a lots of other stuff online and even a book by Grant called "Just Ride" but I'll let you enjoy doing your own browsing for that if you such as. You're here to purchase a bike, though ... not research a dissertation.
