Original owner of this size large 2018 SIR 9 (design unchanged since then) that I performed a complete restoration on last year with a balleur build with all new parts and custom ultralight bags, all of which has less than 300 miles since then. I have had some incredible trips on this bike and it served me well but I’m no longer riding it and don’t have the space for it. It checks all the boxes for a reliable bikepacking build, from comfortable geometry to tire clearance to bolt-on frame bags to the EBB for a bailout single speed.
Pictured complete but price of $1650 is for the rolling chassis without brakes/drivetrain/pedals/saddle, everything listed below cost me over $3200 in parts last year. No brakes/drivetrain/pedals/saddle, otherwise all the other bits are there and ready for your personal build. All the goods include:
- Flawless custom powdercoating with Prismatic Universe color by Darkmoon Fabworks, dark grey Niner decals (spares included), frame saver sprayed inside generously
- Custom ultralight Rockgeist bolt on Frame bag (fully featured) + Medic bag + Jpaks top tube bag in ultra 400 black magic with matching zipper pulls. Bottom compartment sized for an Apidura bladder (can sell you a brand new one). ($650+)
