FS: Independent Fabrication Crown Jewel

I sent the frame back to IF for a check up and a repaint, built it up and rode it three times, so basically new paint. It's a really great bike but it's just too small for me.
So, up for sale, frame, fork, King headset and matching 110 mm Salsa steel stem for $1200 shipped. Or make an offer or trades. I have a weakness for steel frames but in a 58. Oh yeah, it has a 56cm seat tube and a 56.5 cm top tube center to center.

That is so worth $1200. B-E-A-utiful

That is super nice. Good luck on the sale

deal of the day'

[guyintense]

Thanks for the accolades, this frame certainly deserves them. Because this frame uses a somewhat odd seatpost size I will include a nice black 26.8mm Dean post.

[guyintense]

I've had some offers but it's still available.

[guyintense]

It's still available. Spring time and a new bike? Well there you go.

[rnhood]

Excellent looking paint. I would also call this a bargain.

Here's a little more info for those vacillating:
The fork has a 1 inch steerer and will allow a 25mm tire but that's about it, the rear has plenty more room but I've never run anything larger then a 25.
Saddle height in the photo is 77cm and the reach from the nose of the saddle is 57cm to the center of the bars with around 8 cm of drop to the top of the bars.
BB drop is 6.8 cm.
I don't have a geo sheet, I'm not the original owner but you might try contacting IF.
The serial # is 725C956C
I hope that helps.

Too small for me.

My arm could have been twisted, as I would love one of these to stay at my parents' house outside of Austin.

Would be an incredible vacation bike without shipping one down twice a year.

Just a little bit too big! Thank God....

Bump for a wonderful bike. Have one and the ride is sublime.

Rode it 3 times after repaint per Jan 2013 post - time of pictures posted.

8.5 years later - any current pictures.

Sad to say it looks exactly the same, it's been hanging in my garage since the original post.
