Posted on


  • Somec Promax Aero (Columbus Max tubeset)
    675gbp posted world wide from Australia
    Seat tube: 56.5 c-c
    Top tube: 55 c-c
    Integrated cable routing (including chain stay)
    Freshly painted in BMW Atlantisblau with clear over top
    Straight, few knicks in the paint from transit but has not been assembled since painting. Bought from a fellow member.

    I really, really wanted to build this but it’s simply not suitable for me.

  • £675 posted anywhere in the world. The frame I would love to have but I have no idea if this is strong money or about right or bargainous.

  • Here's one that's busted with no paint, works out about £400 landed in the UK plus repairs plus paint?

  • Well that one has a broken dropout even.

    Btw @Enigmatic, does this one has a open dropout as well? Close up please?

  • It's Avvocato's bike, I was just commenting because it looks nice but I have no idea of value although it looks fair compared to the other one referenced above.

  • Oh right:)

  • The one I'm selling in this thread has dropouts original & intact :)

  • That is gert lush, looks reasonably priced to me.

  • Asked for a close up as the driveside one 'looks' a bit more open than it should.
    Maybe it's just an optical effect.

    Lovely frame

  • Just an illusion; the light is reflecting off the chrome dropout but the grooves from the skewer nut are dull, so you don't see the complete shape :)

    I'm getting better pics this weekend.

  • No worries. Just curious.

  • Sorry all, I've been on holiday for the past week. When the rain stops and the sun starts shining I'll get some more pics up :)

  • Price drop to 625gbp

  • This is a lovely frame, and might be worth 600 pounds to the right person. But I don't see the point in drawing comparisons with asking prices on ebay (not "sold" listings) that may be completely aspirational. 400 pounds for a frame that requires a new dropout and refinishing (never mind what other damage/misalignment might lurk) is just ridiculous. You certainly could not sell a repaired, repainted Somec for 700 or more pounds, which is what it would cost to buy that basket case and refurbish it.

  • You can find one in great conditions as well for 600 euros (quick Google search), so if you want to sell this, better refine your price or wait and find two interested people.

  • Price drop 550gbp

  • I couldn't find the one you mention, but my price includes shipping from Australia to anywhere in the world. Where's your offer?

  • This one is for sale for 600 euros:

    He also includes a Chris King headset which is over £100 alone.

    As much as I would love one, got no space/money to afford it :(

    With the price drop and the included shipping you're on par, albeit yours repainted (right?), but that's of importance only to purists.
