Peugeot UO-8 - $200

Here's a nice older Peugeot in very good condition with some new features. This model was many folks' first introduction to "ten speeds" back in the 70s, and it's still a good, solid, fun bike today.  We've upgraded it with wheels that have aluminum alloy rims (the originals were steel), making for a lighter bike with better braking performance.  This one is a 25" frame, so it's for you taller folk out there.

Versa Trike - $1200

Here's a nice delta style trike with a few special features.  The handlebars tip forward for easy mounting and dismounting, and they have a wide range of height adjustment as well. A 7 speed internally geared hub with coaster brake makes for simple operation, while canted rear wheels make it more stable in turns.  New, these sell for around $2000, and this one is in nearly new condition, so it's a good bargain.

Schwinn World - $180

A nice basic road bike from the 80s, set up with upswept "North Road" style handlebars for comfort. Good quality, in very nice shape, ready for cruising on the bike trail or running errands, or just going for a fun ride with friends.

Volae Expedition w/couplers - $1400

No, this is NOT the same Volae we just took off the site!  This is actually a slightly different version ... a Volae Expedition with couplers that allow you to split the frame into two pieces for packing purposes.  So this would be a great bike for the recumbent traveler!

Volae is a line of recumbents that are an offshoot of the Hostel Shoppe in Wisconsin. The frames are made by Waterford Precision Cycles, a maker of fine steel bicycles. Set up as a versatile, agile bike, this Volae features a hardshell seat, disc brakes, and high quality components.  It is a large size frame, and you can learn about how to size a Volae, as well as other Volae info here:

Rans Fusion - $1200

Here's a nice, lightly used "crank forward" from Rans. The Fusion is their most popular model, and we've sold more of those than all the other flavors put together, I'd guess. A very comfortable bike that takes the weight off your upper body. The frame geometry also allows you to set the seat height for efficient pedaling AND still be able to put your feet flat on the ground when you stop. In very good condition, with the Rans rear rack.  New, the Fusion sells for $1625, and the rack is $92, so at $1200 this is a nice deal.

Rans Dynamik Trail - $900

A nice rugged version of the Rans crank forward series, the Dynamik Trail comes equipped with a suspension fork and disk brakes. Add to that the Rans rear rack and Old Man Mountain front rack, and you've got a bike ready for some rugged expeditions.  New, a standard Dynamik (with rigid fork) now sells for $1695, so this is a great price for the Trail.  This is a 2007 model, in very good condition.

Bike Friday with Suitcase/Trailer Rig - $1200

A very nice older Bike Friday travel bicycle, in excellent shape.  Included in the price is a suitcase for packing the bike AND the Bike Friday trailer kit that converts the suitcase into a trailer for your stuff.  Very handy for the touring and traveling cyclist.  This feature alone is now $500 from Bike Friday.  The bike is a small one, best for those 5'-2" or shorter, I'd say.  It comes with a variety of extras, including a taller stem, to fit a rider who is a bit taller.

Barcroft Columbia Tandem - $1800

The Barcroft Columbia is a very comfortable and efficient recumbent tandem, with the added feature of being remarkably compact for such a bike.  Thanks to its innovative design, it can be easily carried on the back of a car without sticking out very far to either side. This is an older model, with linear pull rim brakes and a rigid fork (later versions had disk brakes and a suspension fork).  Currently out of production, with no clear indication when or if they will be produced again, this is a rare opportunity to buy one of these great machines.

Bike Friday Pocket Metro - $750

Here's a nice little Bike Friday, a model that's no longer made. Like all Bike Fridays, this bike packs down for travel, easily fitting into a suitcase. With the folding (instead of removable) seat mast, there are fewer loose pieces when you have it folded up.

GT ZR 5.0 Road Bike - $350

A nice solid road bike in very good condition, this GT ZR 5.0 has a lightweight aluminum frame and  is equipped with a Shimano Sora drive train.  A good "starter" road bike at a very nice price.

Sun EZ-Sport Recumbent - $800

The EZ-Sport has probably been our best-selling recumbent bike over the years, as it makes a great "first recumbent."  The comfortable seat and long wheelbase, combined with the above seat steering, makes this a very easy bike to get accustomed to. It's also designed as "one size fits most", so we should be able to adjust to to fit just about anyone. Equipped with fenders and a rear rack, this bike is a very good deal.  New EZ Sports sell for $1275.

Rans XStream 26 w/upgrades - $3200

Here's a long wheelbase, high performance recumbent that has very few miles on it. Purchased in early 2011, the former owner sadly passed away before he had a chance to rack up the miles.

The bike is VERY light, and most, if not all, of the components have been upgraded from original specifications. The wheels are Velocity Uriel 650c wheels, with Schwalbe Ultremo tires. The crank is a carbon FSA SL-K, and the derailleurs and shifters have been upgraded to SRAM X-9. Come on by and check it out!

Santa Cruz Superlight - $2000

Here's something we don't see here very often... a high end, dual suspension mountain bike!  Very light, with higher end components, including Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes and integrated shifters and derailleurs, this is a very nice bike.  The rear shock is a Fox Float RP, the front fork is a Fox Float RLC.

Some background on this model can be found here:

Litespeed Tuscany - $1800

Here's another one of those bikes you don't see every day here... a very nice, light and racy Litespeed Tuscany road bike. With a carbon fiber fork and seat post and Campagnolo Chorus components, this is a VERY nice road bike, at a very good price. It's a 54cm frame, so on the small side.

Bianchi Pista fixed gear - $600

Well, here's a type of bike you don't see for sale often here at bikes@vienna. It's lightweight, racy "fixed gear" bike. A fixed gear as only one gear, and you cannot coast... as long as the back wheel is turning, the pedals turn. Definitely something that takes some practice, but a lot of folks find this style of bike and riding a lot of fun, and a nice way to throw some variety into your riding experience.  This bike is a 59 cm frame, for a taller rider, and is in very good condition.

Burley Koosah Recumbent - $600

Burley is best known for trailers, but they also made an extensive line of recumbent bicycles. This is their Koosah model, a long wheel base model with above seat steering. In very good condition, this would make a good choice as a "first" recumbent for someone.

Terry Classic - $500

Georgena Terry is best known for designing and building bikes specifically for women, and they are some fine bikes.  Here's a very nice example from 2000, built up with a mix of components featuring Shimano Ultegra and XT parts. The frame is TIG-welded chromoly steel, with a 56 cm seat tube and 54 cm top tube. A nice light and nimble flat bar road bike.
