I am selling my Bianchi BASS(Bad A** Single Speed) frameset. CORRECTION: IT IS A 19.5in. FRAME. I purchased it from a friend and rode it for about a season even though it is too big for me. Its a great frame but I needed a smaller one!! It is used so it has scratches and the usual wear and tear from riding. It is not a disc ready frame. The frame is Easton Aluminum with matching rigid fork. It comes with a Cane Creek S2 headset. I would also be willing to include the Ritchey Comp seatpost I have on it. I am asking $250.00

I will try and post pics this weekend. Thanks for checking it out!:D

Grrrr... Luckily I think we're about the same height so it'll be just a hair too big for me too. What kind of tire clearance is there? Is it Surlyesque? or would a 2.3ish tire be max?

It wouldnt fit you Isaac. Standover with the rigid fork and 2.3s was about 32" I think. It was 'right there' on me, if you catch my drift and I was running a 60mm stem to shorten it up for me. I liked the bike but I feel more comfortable on something a little smaller, something I can throw around. I also wanted to be able to throw a suspension fork on it if needed and when I did that the standover was too much for me.

This what the frame looked like when my buddy had it built up.

Is anyone looking for a nice SS frame???? I suppose I could Ebay it but a local sale is much easier.

I know someone out there is looking for a nice SS frameset! I am willing to entertain offers. I am willing to barter also.

Does this have frame geometry that would accomodate a suspension fork?

I ran it with a 80mm fork on it for a while and it did not rake it out bad at all. It is made for the rigid fork though. Its fun rigid though. I ran it with a 2.5 in the front and a 2.3 in the rear. The suspension was in the tires! If I was taller I would keep the frame but I was stuck with short legs!

Whats the horizontal top tube length on that sucker? I've never had me a Bianchi but just might have to do it.

I am not sure at the moment. I'll measure it up tonight and get back to you Doug.:D Here are the top tube lengths for the 2006 WUSS. My guess is they havent changed much.

After measuring, the Actual Top Tube Length is 22.8 inches or 580mm. That part of the geometry has not changed in 2006.

No doubt... or take a sledge to the top tube and adjust the standover height a little so normal people can ride it :D . It's looking like ebay may be your best option Porter.... your hourly bumps aren't getting much interest.:p

Seriously though people... this bike is sweet built up. Buy it someone!

I plan on throwing the frame in the car for the Summit just in case. After this weekend, it will most likely go on Ebay.
