Hi, I have to part with this cherished bike.
I got the frame with a random selection of bits and the paint was in such bad condition I took it to Armourtex for a powdercoat and did a full rebuild. I just didn't have the money to splash out on a full respray from argos or such like.
I've barely ridden it due to lack of time the past couple of years and I now need to space and the money.
excuse the cheapo black high-rise stem, a bit ugly but comfy.
Part list:
Old but very smooth headset (recently repacked) Turbo saddle (old saddle)
Shimano canti brakes
Velo Orange mudguards ITM 44cm bars
Seatpost, it's got a V logo on it, can't remember what it was, pretty standard 27mm. Campag Mirage front derailleur Nice looking bottle cage, there's mounts for another under the down tube. Sram Apex Groupset (+£300 installed) Mavic Aksium wheels + Conti Gator Hardshell tires (+£140) Shimano SPD pedals (+£30)
Bad points: I suspect a small crack on the drive side drop out, may have to take it to a frame builder to have a look at it.
I would like £250£160 for the partial build listed above, £700 including all the modern parts that are practically brand new.
Would make a great audax/light touring bike or a great porteur/town bike. Could also be quite good for cyclocross, but you might want some other forks with more clearance.
