Parting ways with my Touring bike to make space and fund new build. It has seen general town use and a quick trip to Europe (most of which was spent on a train), but nothing heavy. Wheels were hand built for the bike when I built it about 5 years ago. I purchased the bike in its original spec (pictures below) then stripped it and put newer parts on it.
Here it is by a river in its current incarnation
Rides fantastically - a real workhorse. Bit of chipping, scratches and surface rust as to be expected of a frame this age - nothing structural or major though.
Specs:
Claud butler majestic 531 frame 56.5 seat tube 57.5 tt (c-c)
Shimano Tiagra hubs on rigida sputnik rims, DT swiss double butted spokes 36r/32f - solid!
Schwalbe marathon tires
XT mountain bike front/rear mech 3x9 speed(mountain bike gearing for those loaded climbs)
Shimano LX crank set
Dura Ace indexed bar end shifters
Nitto noodle randonneur bars with 3ttt stem
Shimano 105 aero levers with weinmann center pull brakes
SKS mudguards
Original Brooks b17 with fluted seatpost
£300
Collection from Bristol or I am up in London quite a bit so could arrange a drop off, or I could post it at an extra cost.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
