I put my '77 Richard Sachs frame and fork on eBay. The auction number is 250353326191 or you can click here
This is the red 56cm (56x56 ctc) Sachs that I've posted here previously. Ending date for auction is Jan 13 - Tuesday and the current high bid is $850.
I'm happy to answer any questions, but please don't ask me to end the auction early since it already has a bid.

Remember this?
Look who's in the shop for a make-over...

Others still available currently.
thanks,

yet another fs post (sorry)
I'm trying to fund a pretty cool bike purchase so I'm offering three bikes or frames for sale. Prices are firm and do not include shipping. This is probably just for a limited time, especially the 54 Sachs, since the bike I'm considering won't be around for long.
so it goes...
Bike one: 54 cm Dave Tesch 101. Frame/fork $550 or complete bike Campy 8sp Chorus/Record mix for $1200
Bike two: Richard Sachs frame/fork/headset 54cm. Not pristeen but nice - does have small dent in down tube. $1225
Bike three: Richard Sachs -1977. 56cm Not original paint, no decals, but nice condition. Spaced to 130 so will take current wheels. Frame/fork. $1000 Perfect to ride now but would make a great resto.
Also, the Silver bontrager CX frame/fork/some parts definitely available now for $350.
EDIT: I also have a 56 Bruce Gordon Chinook - frame w/Look Carbon fork or Curt Goodrich fork. No pictures currently - email to taztaylor@mindspring.com for details.
thanks,

The black Bontrager CX is sold. Big thanks to Jay - let's hear about some podium finishes in the near future.
Also big thanks to Kelly who is sending a small Bonty CX my way.
If the small Bonty works out like I hope, I'll probably be putting my silver medium Bontrager CX on the block. I haven't made a firm decision yet, but if you have any interest let me know.
thanks

For sale: my black Bontrager CX Cyclocross frame and fork. This is a medium with the later Steelman straight blade fork. Very good condition.
Specs: MED
Stand over height 31.0"
Head tube angle 71.5
Seat tube angle 74
Top tube length 57.2
Seat tube length 49.5
Head tube length 107mm
Fork rake 32mm
Chainstay length 418mm
Bottom bracket height 11.2"
Wheelbase 40.3"
The rough looking area along the chain stay is actually a tube wrapped around the stay to protect against chain slap. Now for the (not so) hard sell... these are fairly uncommon and pretty well thought of (and thought out) cross frames. Top tube cable routing, single bottle braze ons, no extraneous fender or rack braze ons. Okay - maybe not as practical (or heavy) as a Surly but this is a race bike. They're not being made anymore so you probably wouldn't be lining up next to a clone at your next race, if that kind of thing matters to you. Very nice riding frame off road as you'd expect but surprisingly nimble on road as well. I would be reluctant to sell except 1) it's a little too big for me and 2) I have another one that's a little older that I'm keeping. You can find a picture of that one in an older post.
Link to Keith Bontrager interview on BKW. KB knows a thing or two about bikes and 'cross. Kirk Pacenti hangs at the Serotta forum occasionally and may have some thoughts if you ask.
I have other parts available (Salsa stem, seatpost, brakes, tires, etc). Will consider trade for a similar quality frame in a 54cm such as Ibis, IndyFab, or other small builder.
If interested, email me at: taztaylor@mindspring.com If you reply to the gmail account, I might not see it for 4 or 5 months.
Here's another pic - mid stem and shifter change and without the ugly splash bar tape:
The red/yellow Fuso is sold... Thanks Jose and thanks to everyone else that inquired.
Vanilla cyclocross - I think this might be the one that Molly Cameron is selling (check his website or the Serotta forum for details.)
I took this pic while in Portland for NAHBS.

yellow richard sachs - campy record/chorus 9 mix
My daily rider - not the best looking Sachs but nothing that a Campy ti seatpost, new saddle and white tape couldn't fix.
