Motobecane Fantom Cross bike for sale

I'm mainly a lurker around here but I'm very active over in a triathlon forum. 

I have too many bikes and one of them must go.  This was my first bike when getting back into cycling.  The area I used to ride in was not the
best with lost of curb hopping an gravel in the roads.  I purchased a
cyclocross bike as I knew it was going to be a bit more stable...

I bought it in early 2008 and it was ridden maybe for 8-9 months a few
times a week for 15-20 miles.  So maybe 800-900 miles on it.  It was
never crashed.  It comes with everything you see in the photo, except
the pedals (they are SPD one side and flat platforms on the other, I might throw them in depending on the deal)

I had the "cheater brakes" (extra brake levers that sit on the top of the handlebars for braking when top on the drops) removed but will sell them with the bike.  You can easily have them
reattached if you are going to use this as a cyclocross bike.

Currently has Conti Gatorskin road tires on it.  If you are going to do CX you'll want a knobby tire.

Below are the 2010 specs.  They do not seem to have changed since I bought the bike in 2008.

I'm 99% sure it's a 61.  I'm 6'4" but cyclocross bike do tend to run a
little small. I can get you whatever measurements you want.  I'm
guessing anyone over 6' would have no issue with it.

A great entry level road or cyclocross bike.  I really enjoyed riding it.

Asking $500 + shipping (I can get a good rate as I ship stuff for my business).  Post or PM with questions
