- Hacked-for-650b 1993 Bridgestone RB-1 frame. But I'm keeping the forks for another project.
- Liza's 1994 RB-1 frame set (with fork).
- The old Paramount mountain bike frame set. Great frame. Great lug details.
- My Fuji turd frame set. I couldn't even give this away. Maybe someone will take it this time around.
- My rad 1991 Bridgestone MB-2 frameset. Killing me. But I don't think I'll ever build it up.
- My Shogun Touring 500 frameset. Another great value frame. Nice tubing. Rides great, but I'm moving my fixed to the 720 for good.
- Stuff: 650B tires that aren't Hetres, some bags, maybe some bars.
Prices, pics, and terms to come later. Expect non-give-away prices and fussy, high-maintenance preference for local sales because I hate shipping frames.
This is a multi-step process in letting go....

What size is the Shogun?
I'd like to look at liza rb-1. What size is it?
sizes:
MB-2: 52cm (from memory)
Liza RB-1: 53 cm (for real)
Hacked RB-1: 57.5 (for real)
Bridgestone geometry can be found here.
Shogun: 56 or 57 (from memory)
Paramount: 52 (from memory)
I have no interest in the hacked RB-1, but i think you should sell it with the fork. you can have a much better fork made for whatever purpose, and with a crown that's about the same.
How did you end up with so many framesets?? HA HA! Wowza!
Is the Shogun just a frameset or complete bike? Are you willing to ship?
Rory: I understand the logic behind your thinking. I may let the fork go, but it's nice to have different forks for different wheel sizes laying around. I'm really in a hack-phase right now, where I'm interested in hacking frankenbikes together to try out different stuff. So that's why I'd keep the fork. I'm not as enamored of the fancy crown as I once was.
RJ: This is the result of hording for the last 6 years or so and probably represents about 20% of the framesets I've tried over the same time period. As for where they came from:
MB-2 came from recycled cycles (2004?)
Liza RB-1- iBOB list serve (2005?)
Yellow RB-1 - some guy in oregon. I dont' remember how i found him. (2007)
Shogun: spokane craigslist (2005?)
Paramount: Recycled Cycles (2003)
There was a time when Recycled Cycles used to have great used stuff. Not so much anymore. I just caught the tail end of it.
Just as an fyi, i have that fork for a 59 cm bike. if anyone wants aquasi matching fork(no braze-on canti studs), it's available for a price.
Rory: I think I'd have to take some kind of commission in that sale. What's standard? 30%?
Joe: Frameset only. The page I pointed to is pretty old. It's been in fixed gear mode for the last 6 months or so. As for shipping: I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. I had some broken hearts and a bent downtube in one frame shipping transaction that makes me avoid shipping framesets as much as possible.
I think that Fuji's going to the grave with you. You'll have turned it into a pedicab or some damn thing by this summer.
Rory should get the Fuji Turd for his planned cycle truck. Yeah it is in Spokane and he is in Seattle, but hundreds of cars make that journey every day and one of them could carry the frame.
I agree with Rory that you should sell the RB-1 with fork. I can hook you up with a fork.
Rory: the turd is yours. I bet we can get a Thomsen to transport it.
