• My pre-second baby clear out continues and sadly I need to sell this beautiful Scapin Blake carbon fibre bike.

    Scapin are a small, highly regarded Italian manufacturer famed for their steel frames, but they've been building high quality carbon frames for the past 10 years or so.

    I bought it from the former Scapin UK importer who'd built it up as a show bike, rode it a couple of times, then kept it in his garage. I bought it earlier this year, have ridden it a fair amount but it's still in immaculate condition. The frame is a full carbon monocoque, made from 3K high modulus carbon, with a matching fork and an integrated seat post and headset and BB30 bottom bracket.

    The bike is equipped as follows;

    Shifters: Campag Chorus 11 speed
    Front mech: Campag Chorus 11 speed
    Rear mech: Campag Chorus 11 speed
    Cassette: 12-25 11 speed
    Brakes: Campag Centaur with Swiss Stop green brake pads
    Chainset: FSA Gossamer Carbon compact with 50/34 chainrings
    Wheels: Fulcrum Racing 5
    Tyres: Michelin Krylion
    Saddle: Fizik Arione
    Stem: Deda Zero Servizio Corse 120 mm long
    Handlebars: Deda Newton compact shallow drop 44 cm

    There is some slight crash damage to the right hand Ergo lever from a crash when it was on my previous Colnago frame. It's purely cosmetic and the lever still works perfectly.

    The frame is a Large and the measurements are as follows;

    Top tube: 567 mm centre to centre
    Head tube: 165 mm
    Centre of bb to saddle top: 803 mm

    The integrated seat post is cut at approx 730 mm and I've used 4 spacers to get it up to the height I need, but it's probably about as high as you can go. Clearly there is scope to go lower and a different saddle may add a little more height.

    More pictures here.

    The bike is available to view in Beckenham, south east London or I could ride it to work for a viewing at my office on the Old Bailey, near St Paul's.

    Price: £1000

  • Price dropped, now £1000 for a fantastic race bike.

  • Bargain bump.

    Too big/don't have the cash/keep coming back to look.

    Chorus 11 speed group would be circa £800 new, this is such a good deal can't believe there has been no interest.

    Look at what 1k gets you off the peg!

  • Bloody Hell, Wanna swap it for my Croix De Fer 58cm, (HA if only)!!!!

    Good luck on the sale (free bump)

  • Blast from the past. Almost bought this a year or so ago and was thinking about getting on contact to see if it was still around but I assumed it was long gone!
