Burley Samba Tandem FS, Early Version, Great Condition
I have a very early model Burley Samba for sale, located in New York
City This is probably a 1990 model, with an open frame (no lateral tube), and one piece seatstay-chainstay assembly. The downtube and boom tube are one piece, and the top tube is ovalized. The frame is on the large side, I think a 23 / 21 (maybe 19 in the rear). I'm 5'8" with 32 inseam, and the standover was a tad large for me. This tandem is pretty low mileage for it's age--I'm estimating 3000 miles or less (the computer has had its batteries replaced at least once, and got reset accidentally when dropped, so I lost track of mileage). This tandem is in EXCELLENT condition. The light blue paint is in near perfect condition. It has the attractive old-school Burley decals. The bike has always been stored indoors, and maintained regularly by a competent mechanic (me). Components: 21 speed Suntour index shifting work flawlessly. I upgraded the front derailleur to a Suntour XC Comp, and upgraded to Suntour Bar-end shifters. It has Sakae SX cranks with a 52-42-26 (I think--I'll double check if anyone wants to know for sure). Brakes are DiaCompe aero brake levers mated to DiaCompe cantis, which work well and are easy to adjust. It has a Sakae anatomic road bar in front, and bullhorn bars for the stoker. It has 36 spoke wheels, with ??? hubs mated to single wall Weinman rims. The rear freewheel hub has a solid axle, and is double threaded for a drum brake (there is no drum brake with this bike). The rubber is pretty new, panaracer slicks, I think. The wheels have never given me a moment of trouble, but they have received pretty light use. I have good quality parts to convert this tandem to a mountain bike handlebar if the buyer would prefer that. The tandem comes with 4 specialized composite water bottle cages, and a bomb-proof Blackburn Expedition SX rack (silver). This tandem is a good quality entry level bike, a good family tandem. It can be used for casual rides, centuries, charity rides, or light touring. I'm asking $500 OBO, and would prefer a buyer in the northeast, but will ship anywhere in the USA at your expense. Any questions please contact me off list. (I can provide more exact info about the frame size, tires, Japanese hubs, chainrings, freewheel size, and other assorted details that I don't have with me at the moment). I'm working on a picture, if any prospective buyers would like to see one. Rich |
