[hpv-forsale] HP Velotechnik Grasshopper for sale

[Zach Kaplan]

I have a new old stock 2006 USS Grasshopper full suspension SWB  
recumbent. It has never been sold so has the new bike warranty and it  
has only been used for short test rides in dry weather, never crashed  
or scratched so looks new. The only difference between it and the  
current models is it doesn't have the quick release seat (the system  
with the 3 quick releases is retrofittable) and its optional disc  
brakes are Avid BB5 rather than the BB7 they started using in 2008.

The specs and 2009 pricing are as follows:
Grasshopper base bike, green $2590
Under seat steering $59
SRAM Dual Drive 24-speed drivetrain (stock)
MEKS carbon fork with adjustable hydraulic damping $229
Avid BB5 disc brakes (BB7 on current model) $199
Schmidt hub powered headlight & taillight with wiring internally  
routed through frame and rack $469
HP Velotechnik rear rack $115
HP Velotechnik lowrider rack $110
Kickstand $27
SKS mudguards with flaps $59
Standard spring rear shock
Import charges $169
Total $4026

This would make a great commuting or touring bike for those who  
prefer the smooth ride of full suspension.
$2500 plus shipping if it needs to be shipped.

Photos available.
