Sorry to those who missed out.
Hi, I'm selling this road bike to partly fund something new and fun. I really love this bike. I rode my first 200mi on it and it has taken me up hill, down dale and through the pyrenees. Its a very aggressive and stiff ride. Sadly it has always been just a touch too big for me and it is time to cut my losses. It has spent recent times on my turbo and this bike deserves to be ride outside.
C Seat Tube to C Head Tube: 57cm
Seat Tube to C-BB: 60cm
10cm Stem
Curvy-wurvy Onda forks.
Non compact bars stretch it out a lot
Pedals not included (they are pretty fucked anyway).

I have riden this bike to buggery. It came with partial 105 and Pinarello MOST groupset when new. I wore the original group out in a year of distance riding in sandy environments in winter. I carried on riding on the knackered parts for another year or so and then had a crash turning right on a wet manhole cover and broke the right shifter. It turned out to be cheaper to put on a complete brand new 105 group which is what is currently fitted. In total, the group has mostly been riden on the turbo and has probably done less than 100mi on the road.
The headset bearings wore out during the time I was training on it in the winter so they have recently been replaced. When the new bearings were being pressed in a small hairline crack appeared in the paintwork on the head-tube. Other than that, there are a handful of grit chips in the paint on the aluminium and virtually no cosmetic damage to carbon parts. I'd say that the f&f are in very good used condition for a five year old bike that has been used in all weathers.
The wheels are hand built Omegas on Shimano Tiagra hubs. I built these up two years ago and only fitted them last year. They run very smooth and true. The wheels have mostly seen turbo use apart from when Rowhan borrowed the bike for a couple of months when his Ribble fell apart.
New tyres will be required (blistered from turbo use) and the fitted bar tape is manky. I have some bar tape that I could fit before sale but it is orange so you probably don't want me to do that.
As always, you're welcome to try before you buy. I have sold plenty of stuff on the forum and want to maintain a good rep.
Looking for £450 or approx 1.2 BTC all in (including some spare headset bearings).
Apologies for dodgy bar angle. Bike has always been a touch too long for me (I'm 6'4" with shorter arms and longer legs).
I am unable to post this bike, please don't ask as I simply don't have the time to find a box and get it collected. Bike is in SE1.
