Thanks, I should have pointed that out. I got too excited trying to lure others to the dark side.

I was seduced by a Bianchi San Jose, but it’s gone. Does the Motobecane have fender and rack mount eyelets? Who’s a local dealer?

Yes, it has fender mounts and rack eyelets. It’s sold by BikesDirect, an on-line dealer:

Hmph – well it’s sold out in my size/color (black 58cm) so no impulsive decisions today. I worry, though, about the really short chainstays. My San Jose had 425mm stays, and this bike is 405mm. Too twitchy, I’d suspect. I like relaxed geometry, and the attendant handling – I’m no bike messenger

55cm Bianchi San Jose, I don’t know what it costs new…

Sigh…”Bianchi San Jose” and “beater” should never be used in the same sentence. Just because it’s meant to be tough and functional doesn’t mean it’s a beater or that it should be treated like one. I immediately decree that this person’s San Jose be confiscated and turned over to me for safe keeping.

I saw this one, and even emailed the CL seller, asking whether he’d changed out the OEM chainring, since the one on the bike looked more like 47, and heard nothing.

I also winced when I saw the word “beater,” and thought that anyone who rides on worn out canti pads has a quest for danger that exceeds mine.

Nashbar has a SS CX bike for $350. Has fender mounts, but not rack mounts that I can tell. Also, no flip/flop hub. 418 mm chainstays. Interrupter style brake levers rather than standard drop levers.

Here’s a 58 cm. No idea if that’s a good price.

Not that this one is for sale, (perhaps this should be a cross post in r/Covet…) but boy is this a nice looking SSCX:

Hey, a man can dream, right?
And by dream, I mean dream of having more than one SSCX bike.

First, I like the Cinelli-Mash webpage a lot: http://mashsf.com/cinelli_page/ — It’s completely useless as a webpage, but playing on a nice 24″ monitor it looks good.

Second, yes, if I don’t cheap out and go with something from All City or Milwaukee…then I hope to make this mine sometime soon:
