Stan Johnson Custom

Stan Johnson Custom road bike - $450 (Kailua)



Got a custom built Stan Johnson frame by Stan himself out of Oxnard CA... This is a highly sought after custom builder that has since stopped making bikes after moving to CO. This is a mid 90's frame with Columbia drop outs. It's a large size and needs a tune up and some new components but over all in decent condition. These frames can go for $600 by themselves. It's a bit too big for me and just looking to pass on a good deal.

C-T measurement is 63cm, TT is 54cm and stem tube is 22cm

Presented in my effort to document custom builders.  Really clean looking lugs, good paint, nice frame material.  There's also a strange thing going on with this seller.  This bike has been mothballed for awhile, the chain is totally rusted out and the back brake looks pretty ragged too.  Exage brakes but no word on the other componants, road double crank.  Bizarro bar set up.  And the frame is too big but that seat is all jacked up.  I wonder if this was a mail order gone wrong, or maybe carried better stuff and was stripped down before being put away.  The reason why he hasn't ridden it may play into whether or not it's a good buy.
