I have regretfully decided to sell this frame since I am finding less and less time to dedicate to road riding. It is a wonderful all day ride type frame - I believe one of these was built up for one of the riders in the japanese rapha continental (a black and pink one can certainly be seen in one of the videos). It has been my 'continental bike' while I have owned it.
I bought this frame second hand and unfortunately it does have a dent in the seat tube caused from an over tightened band on front derailleur. I have ridden it on and off for the last two years with no issues whatsoever. The dent feels about a millimeter deep and extends over an area of about 1cm x 2cm. I have tried to show this on pictures.
Price is £650.
I live in North Kent (Sevenoaks) so can either post the frame to you or meet for collection.
It is worth noting that this is the older version with semi-horizontal dropouts. It takes medium reach brakes and will fit a 33(ish)mm cross tire (I have run Challenge Grifo xs on it before with no issues).
