Unfortulately am forced to sell this nice Aquila SLX. I've bought it few weeks ago as complete bike.
I was out looking for something nice in 60ctc (full bike or frameset) to build it up as classic/modern roadie (classic steel frame with modern 11 speed group).
Bike arrived yesterday, I imediatelly started to take it apart, as I needed only frame. When I was giving a good clean to the frame I noticed "58" stamped un bottom bracket... I imediatelly measured frame and of course, it's 58cm center-to center. So, 2cm smaller than I needed... and that's quite a diferrence :(
I dont know, was I drunk when I bought it or just too excited to get that Aquila SLX, but it happend that I missread specs... There have been clearly stated - 60ctt, but I somehow saw it as 60ctc...
That's the storry.
The "reall" specs:
Frame & fork - Concorde Aquila, Columbus SLX tubes, internal cable routing, Ultech dropouts
Serial - 170024
Seat tube - 58ctc, 60ctt
Top tube - 58ctc
Head tube - 170mm
Rear spacing - 126mm
Some small paint chips, some letters from stickers vanished, one rust spot on left seat stay (see pics). Otherwise paint and chrome is in good condition.
Want to get what I ~ payed. So 190 GBP including postage (Im not from London) it is!
