For Sale: Bike Friday (Pocket Crusoe)

[BlueFox]

About 8 years old but not been ridden for a few years - hence decided to sell

Good condition - always been kept inside. Mileage probably no more than a couple of thousand miles. Has a combination of a three speed hub gear and an eight speed rear derailleur. Also has a suspension seat tube. The bike would suit someone with a height in the region of 5'2" to 5'8" as I am 5'5"

Comes with four spare inner tubes, two KlickFix adaptors (front and rear) and KlickFix click on rucksack (as shown in photo) and the Bike Friday special hard suitcase (if you want to pack it away for flying). See Bike Friday website for more information about Bike Friday bikes and how they fold and pack.

Will need to collect from North London.

Forgot to mention that I am also advertising it on http://www.atob.org.uk/ (free ads) but I got it down there incorrectly as a Pocket Llama (have now asked if I can correct this. The Pocket Crusoe is the light touring model

Hi Like the bike but we live up north, would like to know where you got the suspension seat tube from or did the bike come with it?

 

[BlueFox]

I just got it online - can't remember where though.

The one's I've seem all seem to be 12" long which restricts the size of rider?

 

[BlueFox]

There are longer ones - mountain bikes and folders need longer seat posts.

For example, thudbusters are 40cm to 61cm long: http://www.canecreek.com/products/seatposts

I think mine was cheaper than a thudbuster but they long ones definitely exist due to demand

This has now been sold

I've checked the type of seatpost. It is a Use SX Shockpost - if that is any help?

Good. It's been tempting me since you put it up here. Now I can go back to getting my mezzo back on the road, instead of looking elsewhere
