Bishop Item 4 size Ekar build 54cm

SOLD!SOLD!SOLD!

Picked this up with the intention of riding the hell out of it and then cracked a couple of ribs mountain biking. Since then I have not been able to get as comfortable as I would like on this one! It is an amazing bicycle that has two rides on it totalling around 85 miles. There was a chip on the downtube when I received the bicycle from UPS in which I covered with clear nail polish. There is some very light oxidizing under the polish and some scuffs in the paint from a front bag, but aside from that it is an amazing ride!

The build is full Ekar with White Industries headset and hubs laced to Boyd CCC wheels, GK SS 38mm set up tubeless, Ritchie bars and PMP carbon seatpost. This was shown at the Philly bike expo and is gorgeous.
550 stack with a 390 reach.
SOLD. I would be willing to bring over to have it cerakoted by my buddies over at No22 or possibly send it down to New Paltz for a respray on buyers dime!

Outstanding

What a beautiful machine.

I admired this one from Chris' socials. Love the elegance of it all.

HillTop, I like your posts in the ride reports section. I grew up in northern NY (north of you, just below the Canadian border south of Montreal near Lake Champlain) I do not miss it for one minute! That Bishop is a great bike, and what a spectacular deal. I have seen bikes on here from builders not as well known that were at a higher price. It's hard for me to understand selling such a beauty, but given the physical stuff, good luck with the sale. Dave

Really sweet bike. Definitely bummed as the head tube is short for me. Sorry to hear about the ribs, done that on the MTB and it no fun.

Man, kicked myself for letting this go by the last go around, just not the right time for me sadly unless you decide to sell just the frameset.

This would make a much nicer birthday present to myself than the coffee grinder I’m looking at.
