Barcode Auction
There’s a Barcode auction over on t1stagram for a good cause.
From Joe…
“Hi, I’m going to try my best to keep this simple, ha ha. We have a friend that could use some help, so I’m auctioning off this Barcode sample that was made 3 years ago by Mike from Dutch Bikes, or defconfour as some of you know him on the Gram. Mike is the current wizard behind both of our Barcode, and SFA frames so you already know how good this frame is.
The frame being auctioned was the 2nd Barcode sample he did for me when we were trying to dial in some specific details on the frame. So that would make it the 3rd of the 3 Barcode samples that are made in that oh so memorable year of 2020. Hence the engraving on the BB ‘20-003’. One of the 3 sample frames was for Mike, to ride and test, and two were for me. I rode the first one for almost 4 years, and the second has never been put together. This auction frame being the 2nd of the 2 I just mentioned. This frame has a 21” top tube. Since we were just trying to get the aesthetics and fitments on the frame correct, we used straight gauge tubing that was readily available at the time. Aircraft 4130 chromoly, .049 wall tubing to be exact. Because of this, the weight of the frame is 12oz. heavier than the current Barcodes we are making. The lighter weight difference on our current Barcodes and SFA’s is all because of the custom tube set we now use on the full runs of frames.
I’m going to make the first comment and use that as the opening bid on the frame which will be $650. If you have a bid you’d like to place, please comment as a ‘reply’ on the first bid comment, that way there will be an easy running order for everyone to see. If you want to leave an actual comment otherwise, please do so as you regularly would. But all bids please reply to the first comment of ‘$650’. I’m going to close the auction on Sunday night at midnight. So you have some time to think about it. ha ha. Thank you everyone for taking the time to read and consider this. It’s going to a great cause I assure you. Cheers.”
Shipping charges will be added if frame is to ship internationally.
