Selling this to build something else.
It's a 57 square but i normally ride 55s, and this was fine. it's on the small side of 57 (i know i know).
This was originally a total ratbike, dodgy DIY gold paintjob and rusted components. I stripped it, got Cole Coatings to nanocoat it (wasn't keen on traditional MBK loud 80s double fluoro fade and it was a bit of an experiment, but it's been a year now and only some slight discolouration - see pics) and put some new components on it.
MBKs have an annoying seatpost quirk - no clamp, but a screw, hence keeping the original (and slightly battered, see photo) seatpost. Forks are Bianchi carbon 1" - I taped over the logos but you could easily peel that off. Got the original forks somewhere too.
Asking for £500 to cover the paintwork, virtually brand new wheels and second hand but good nick 105 groupset. Keen to sell whole as I need the $$$ but would spilt if necessary.
Any questions please let me know!
