Welcome back to our series spotlighting finds on our members-only marketplace! Our Bike Camp Co-op Finds for July include a Fairlight Faran, a Porcelain Rocket DSLR Slinger, a GRX 610 groupset, and much more…

Since launching our Bikepacking Collective Basecamp tools in March, one of the modules that has seen a lot of engagement is the Bike Camp Co-op, an area where members can buy and sell used bikes, components, bags, camping gear, and more. Continuing our series spotlighting interesting finds in the Co-op, I rounded up a number of interesting items from the listings, including some excellent bikes, bags, components, and more. If you’re in the market, jump in and take a look!

Somehow, Logan’s Fairlight Faran 2.0 is still for sale as a complete. It’s a great bike that deserves a good home, and he just reduced the price. Also on the Co-op as a complete is this small (54cm) Crust Bombora. There’s also a tour-ready Bike Friday All-Packa that includes an interesting custom frame bag, a large Esker Hayduke with a suspension fork, and this sweet Surly Krampus!

There are a few gems in the bags section of the co-op with one listing particularly close to our hearts here at BIKEPACKING.com. First, a Bunyan Velo collab with Anhaica Tool Roll for a measly 20 bucks gets you a little piece of recent bikepacking history. Next, this Porcelain Rocket DSLR Slinger that offers a handy way to carry a camera on your bike, and then a set of bikepacking bags for a pretty solid deal! From Swift Industries, this Redwood collection includes two stem bags, a saddle pack, and small front bag. There’s also a 5L ARCH handlebar bag that looks quite nice.

Components

In the components department, there’s a whole host of offerings that may tickle your fancy. This solidly priced, mostly complete, base-level GRX 610 groupset might be what you need to finish off a build. Or a 700mm Nitto-Farr drop bar could be the perfect addition to a new bikepacking setup. There’s also a good way to cushion your ride with this Kinekt Suspension Seatpost and Stem from Logan, and an open-offer set of Ergon GS 2 grips! Or how about a set of Goodyear Connector tires for $50, a like-new Shovel Research Rod Steward Bag Support, or a Shimano Alfine Dynamo Hub for half price?

Gear and Accessories

As far as gear goes, there are some cool options to browse. Logan just listed this Primus FireStick Titanium Stove, which I’m a little offended he didn’t just give me because it looks really cool. For the Brits among us, this MSR Trailshot looks great for big treks without access to clean water, and then you can’t go wrong with 2020 MEC Spark 1 if you’re in Canada.

Seller Pages and More

A quick reminder that we added an option to view all listings from individual sellers as part of a recent update. Several folks on our team have been on a roll listing things lately, and you can explore seller pages from Neil, Virginia, and Logan to scope out all the items they’ve added recently.

Thanks again to all of our members who continue to support our efforts (and post their used gear on the Basecamp Bike Camp Co-op!). It means a lot to our small team. For readers who are unfamiliar, you can learn more about Basecamp here. The Bike Camp Co-op module enables our members to buy, sell, and trade bikes, components, camping equipment, bikepacking bags, and accessories with like-minded folks in the Bikepacking Collective. Plus, you can find excellent, members-only deals on gear our team has reviewed and received. Note that you must be a Sustainer or Builder to list items, but all members can shop/buy.
