Rock Lobster Cross/Gravel/All-road steel 56cm
Listing Ends: July 25
ATTENTION: THIS ITEM WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL AFTER JUNE 11
Paul built this for me in 2016. Long story short: I moved, the bike became redundant with my old IF, and so the bike only has 100 miles on it (Strava verified!). Selling it to fund a burlier gravel machine that can clear bigger tires. This is a faster gravel/cross bike that would also work great as a winter road bike with fenders.
Specced light weight tubing. Matching steel fork. Fender braze-ons. Braze-ons for a front der if you want that. Team color and graphics. Bike is gorgeous.
Clears these 700 x 38, maybe more.
Bike rides amazing.
SRAM Force brifters, brakes and cranks, Rival rear der
King hs
Stans wheels
Ritchey bard/stem
Thomson post
Never cut the fork all the way down.
Paul's cell phone pic attached. Basically it's a "56"
Here's the numbers from Paul: seat tube 546 to top. Top tube 560 if measured level. Head tube 145. Fork 405 x 47 rake. Seat angle. 73 deg. 30 min. Head angle 71 deg. 30 min. Chain stay 435 . BB drop 75. Front/center 608.
I'll probably have this boxed up professionally (at my cost) to avoid any possible packing errors!
I'm ok not riding some of my vintage bikes, but I can't stomach seeing newer high quality bikes sit. It needs to be ridden and enjoyed!
Own an incredible bike by one of the world's best frame builders!
Notes:
Buyer has choice of Ritchey or Thomson post and stem.
Frog pedals NOT included
Compass tires should probably be replaced because they sat with sealant for a long time. Rear tire isn't sealing well currently.
I can give you a credit of $40 on the Concor saddle if you don't want it.
Most of the specs you see in the pics are just dirt. Shoulda done a better job cleaning! But these bikes are meant to get dirty! Paint is as new/flawless.

sweet mother of god that is a cool bike!
Question <3
What is the name of the team color?
I think it's seafoam green--after Fender guitar! And that in turn I think is based on a 1956 Buick color!
