FS: HP Velotechnik StreetMachine

Tim Ryan · 2006-02-24T04:05:33+00:00

I have to part with my StreetMachine; asking $1600. You can find details on the bike here: HP Velotechnik StreetMachine The bike is located in the Hartford, Connecticut area. I can arrange shipping through the LBS, Pig Iron, but this would be at the buyer's expense. I am selling because I just have too many bikes. I only rode this bike twice last season and my wife is complaining about all the bikes in our new garage. There are some scuff marks on the DuraAce shifters from a clipless moment or two and some scratches on the rear rack from the panniers, otherwise in pristine condition. Please note: to save weight, I ordered this bike without lower panniers and without fenders. I also removed the crank guard. The crank guard will come with the bike, but you can decide for yourself if you want to put it back on (IMHO, it was a PITN). Email tryan@c_o_x.n_e_t for more info (remove the underscores from the address).

I believe you have reached an erroneous conclusion as to which is the
offending item in this situation.

LOL -- and I was surprised that he thought to rid the SMGT, of all the
many bikes he must have!
I just might've bought it, too, if it had been an SMGTe and he'd posted
earlier....

The bicycle in question could be a "plain" Street Machine (1st
generation) or Street Machine GT (2nd generation), but is unlikely to
be a SMGTe. There also used to be a clone of the Street Machine called
the Nils Palm Wind.

700c rear rather than 26", I think a straight main tube and an elastomer
rear suspension unit. Aside from custom jobs, any colour you wanted as
long as it was yellow (the first GTs were all orange is you didn't
specify a RAL colour at extra cost or get it redone yourself).
Not ridden one, but by all accounts I've seen a very good bike, though
the GT was generally held to be an improvement.

Not that this isn't all amusing...but if anyone had actually bothered to
check out the pictures it would be clear this is a StreetMachine GT in
Midnight Blue. Then there woudln't be a "could be" about it...

I know it's an SMGT. I was only surprised that you decided to get rid
of this bike, instead of another, out of the many you have.
