For sale is my Guru Crono frameset (frame, fork, seat post). Seat post has not been cut. The green tape shows where I had it set. Measurements and pictures are below. I am 6' 2" with a 32-33" inseam.

This was originally a 2006 frame, but, was sent back to Guru in 2009 for a cracked seat tube caused by something striking my bike. Guru replaced the seat tube and re-painted the frame. The frame has not been built back up into a bike, therefore, it is like new with a fresh paint job, thus, no marks at all.

Price was $1,600, which includes shipping. PM me with questions or if you would like more pics. I am in the market for a new road frame. If you have something to offer in trade, of equal quality/condition, I am willing to listen. Thanks.

BIG Price drop: $900.

Top Tube: 560
Head Tube: 205
Seat Angle: 78 deg
Head Angle: 71.5
Seat Tube Length: 605

Here is how I had it built up:
Stack: 588
Reach: 424
Stem: 90
Stem angle: -17
Spacers: none

Here she is fully assembled:

Here are pics of her currently:

i wonder why they would replace a seat tube and not just the give you a whole new frame for safety/liability reasons?

I suspect (as does my lbs) that it is a brand new frame. The invoice indicated replacement and re-paint. However, when the frame came back, it was missing the hole on the bottom of the bottom bracket shell that is used for the SRM mount (it wasn't painted over, the hole used to mount the SRM and the cable guide, which was drilled into the original frame, was missing). So, obviously, more was done than just a replacement of the seat tube. However, I have no documentation saying that the entire frame is, in fact, a brand new frame, so, I am not claiming it to be one.

Yes. I just sent an email to Toni Paventi and Robert Pinazza at Guru with the serial number asking for verification. I will post the response.

UPDATE: Here is the info from Guru - the frame was rebuilt to Guru's manufacturing standards for new frames.

My e-mail:

Tony/Robert:

Could you verify some information for me regarding my frame? Details below.

Frame: Guru Crono
Serial No.: 60634
Shop: Transition, Pewaukee, WI

As you can see from the emails below, I sent this frame to you in June of 2009 with a cracked seat tube. Was this frame repaired or replaced with a new frame? If it was repaired, could you tell me exactly what was done? If it was repaired, is there any issue with the structural integrity of the frame?

Thanks so much!

Guru response:

It was completely refurbished to our new manufacturing specifications.

Black Friday BUMP!

I will consider a trade for new or like new road and/or cross components (SRAM Force or Red preferred). Or I will entertain a trade for new or like new Quarq (compact cranks/ 172.5) and cash.

This frame is far too beautiful to be sitting unused. My position has change and I am able to race a full IM in my "go fast" position on my Planet X, so, I am going with the Stealth for the full season. Hate to see this frame sitting unused.

This is a work of art. I was actually driving down the road today, thinking about the Guru Chrono, it was too pricey back when I bought the frame I'm riding now. Bump because someone needs to buy this bike!
