excellent condition, set up with flat bars but also comes with the drop bars and bar ends etc ...

more details on the build etc ... http://www.hoogie.co.nz/bikes/nomad.htm (http://www.hoogie.co.nz/bikes/nomad.htm)

selling due to lack of use, have two other touring bikes that don't get used lately either ...

please note: this bike is in new zealand, owner happy to lovingly package and send anywhere at buyers expense ... could look at selling just frame/fork/headset ...
photos show brooks b17 saddle ... ths saddle gave m saddle sores and i sold it about 18months ago, it does have a saddle though ...
comes with the racks as shown, but not the pannier/seat/handlebar bags

cheers,

Hi Hoogie. What sort of price are you looking for the frame and fork?

Hi Phil,

will have to look at the price, would like to get NZD$1250 ... however with the way the exchange rate is currently it would make it around GBP500 which is a bit expensive for a second hand frame ... once the exchange rate drops a bit it would drop it to about GBP350

however, i am happy to look at reasonable offers ...

cheers, hoogie

Hi, I'm in Australia so I would be paying in AUD, but your right 500 quid is a lot for a second hand frame. The 350 mark would be more in my ball park .

ok ... the nz dollar is still quite strong against the aussie at present too ...

not sure how much similar bikes/frames have sold for recently ... would rather try and sell the bike complete if possible, but will see how it goes ... there is quite a bit of interest on trademe here ...

bike is still in excellent condition, like new really ...

Hi Hoogie. No problems, it gets quite expensive with international freight. Good luck with trademe.

hi phil,

yeah, sorry mate, have only just packed it up and sent the bike off to a new owner ... they bought the whole thing for pretty much what i was after ... sad to see it go but it just wasn't getting used ...

all the best in your search for a suitable frame ... i understand good nomads are hard to find.

cheers,
hoogie
