So, as the thread title suggests, I'm not 100% I'm doing the right thing by selling, but in the midst of setting up a new business this seems to be a potential cash injection that would really help, but slightly hesitant as I put a lot of effort into getting this ride working and fitting the way it does.
Frame is Litespeed Arenberg, decals are clean and clear though do show their age a little. But in my opinion very much in keeping with the period of the bike - I did contemplate renewing them, but came to the conclusion it would be a lie so did'nt entertain it longer than about half a beer. Forks are unbranded Columbus Tusk, and clean as the day they were born!
Full Campagnolo Record Ti and carbon groupset - Though cranks are FSA Carbon. I switched out the chainrings for Specialites TR Syrius 50/34 as the original chainrings were very very worn, and fitted a new 10 speed chain.
Bars, Stem and seatpost are all Pro Pilot, and decalled as so, though the decals are well worn. Headset is Campag Record, and with the Carbon Top cap it does make the bike pretty complete.
Saddle is Selle Italia SLK, I've found it super comfy to be fair, first ride out to Southend was no problem at all. Brake calipers are Mavic, no issues with function though personally they actually suit the bike pretty well. Then wheels are Maviv Aksium One, and they ride like a dream.
Tyres are brand spanking Hardshells - purely and simply because I like them as tyres and gotten used to riding them on all my road type rides.
Frame dimensions
Seat Tube C-C - 56cm
Seat Tube to TT - 59cm
Top Tube - 56cm
There's about 30mm of steerer to trim should that be your style, but it's currently set up for me and I'm a gnats whisker off 5'11"
Not a splitter, not entertaining that conversation - It goes as intact, £1200.00 as seen.
I'll possibly wake with a cold sweat and withdraw, I'm not honestly sure unless a a bowl of cash is too tempting to resist. I'll add more detailed photos if there's a genuine buyer.
EEk.
