Just bought a 5 piece group “or best offer” on eBay for $950.00 shipped! Not that I need another group, but at that price, it’s hard to pass up!



Amazing company! Delivered to me on Sunday! $950.00 including 2 day Sunday delivery!...https://www.ebay.com/usr/piermontbik...53.m2749.l2754

Piermont are good people - could probably have gotten it for less calling them directly

The service I received from them was beyond stellar! Shipped within hours, 2 Day Priority. Bought it on a Friday morning and had it midday on Sunday. I, like everyone else want a good deal, but when you get service like that, it’s worth payment a bit more...

And, I have a feeling that was probably rock bottom on the pricing, including the very expensive shipping. That box is super heavy!

On another note, it still comes in 6 stupid oversized boxes, but they did away with the even stupider presentation box. I would have been happy if it had come OEM style. Would have been so much easier to deal with.

I know you were, just giving a big shout out to that bike store!

A very good question...I have 4 bikes now. Ti, Moots RSL...steel, Kirk Terraplane fillet brazed...carbon fiber, Colnago C60...mixed material, Serotta Ottrott.

What else is there? Yeah, lugged steel, but that doesn’t interest me.

Thoughts?

That’s a great idea! Always loved the look of it. Bought my ex wife an exogrid road bike from someone on hear. Actually, Jack Brunk. Very cool bike! Anyone but Bill Holland working with it these days? Wasn’t there a company in AZ that worked with it too? I think they are out of business.

In fact there's one on eBay close to Steve's size...

But that exogrid isn't the same as Holland's.

I saw that one...honestly, I like the diamond exogrid much, much more. Oh, that one is a bit too small though. But it’s a great price!
