Looking for a Venture Trunk?
For anybody looking for Venture Trunks ...
A few months ago, I bought a 1985 Venture trunk, luggage rack, and mounting rack to make it detachable for $150. It was in great shape ... just had to have it painted ($250) and reupholster the backrest ($55). I'm out $455 total plus the wompus rack, and I'm thoroughly pleased. Anyway, since Venture trunks appear to be fairly popular with the KawaNOW folks, I wanted to share the contact information of the guy I got it from. He sells Venture parts and was really easy to deal with, emailing pics and answering all my questions before I bought. He said it was OK to pass his email address along for anybody else who might need one. He goes by the name PJ, and his email is: [email:dpb37wg8]venturebikeparts@cogeco.ca[/email:dpb37wg8] I believe he lives on the Canada/U.S. border on the Canada side and can ship from either country to save shipping costs. You can see the trunk I bought in my signature pic. :) BTW ... that was $150 shipped, including him having a key made for it. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Looking for a Venture Trunk?
I contacted PJ and he answered back. He has a killer deal on a Venture trunk. I have thought it for a couple of days and decided not to put one on the Nomad. I guess that I like the rack that I have now.
He has a trunk with lock, hinges all work. It was readied for paint by the previous owner who blew up his bike before he finished the trunk. He has the chrome mounting rack, the trunk and the chrome top rack. He only wants $60 for the trunk and mounting rack and an extra $20 for the chrome top rack. With shipping it all would only be about $110. His email is venturebikeparts@cogeco.ca This will be the deal of a lifetime for someone who wants to put a trunk on their Nad.

I believe that this particular trunk is off the market. I exchanged emails with PJ today and committed to buying it. Too good of a deal to pass up. Thanks for posting this.

It wasn't prepped. It has had a couple of hairline cracks repaired. I will be doing all the prep and paint myself.
