Nice. Very nice and brilliant deal. How can a seatpost get stuck in titanium?

insane bargain!

Aluminium seat posts can. Trust me. Once would be careless, twice would be idiotic (on another bike).

Bargain this. Too bad I'm ent size.
The time has come for me to sell my old cross frame and forks.
I originally bought this in 2009 from Everti bikes, based in BC, Canada (although they no longer appear to be trading). I used it as a cyclocross frame for a few years, had cantilever studs added by Vernon Baker, to allow me to switch between discs and cantilevers, and it's subsequently done service as a winter bike and a commuter (with a singlespeed chain tensioner).
The geometry is as follows;
TT: 560 mm centre to centre (575 virtual top tube)
ST: 545 mm
HT: 140 mm
Chainstays: 425 mm
Both the headtube and the seat tube are 72 degrees, and the bottom bracket drop is 65 mm.
According to the original email thread I had with Everti it's cold-worked, stress-relieved, double-butted, seamless 3/2.5 titanium tubing with stress optimized tubing shapes (obviously).
Seat tube internal diameter is 31.6mm, 34.9mm external, with a Hope seat collar, with 1-1/8" head-tube and a Chris King no thread headset. It has rear mudguard mounts, rack mounts, three water bottle mounts, and a 68mm BSA bottom bracket shell.
The fork is a Wound Up Team X which has hidden mudguard mounts.
It's bang on trend for a great go anywhere gravel/gnarmac/groad bike, or you could race it to London Cross League podiums (it never won a race, got a second once though, yay for me).
I had a stuck seatpost a few years ago in it and got it out using ammonia, so there is some cosmetic damage around the bottom bracket shell, and a piece of plasticine is stuck in the top tube. It's not noticeable when you ride it, just makes an annoying noise when you pick the frame up. I should add that the decals are a peeling in places.
The frame can be viewed in Beckenham, just a few minutes walk from either Clock House or Kent House stations, or I could possibly meet up in central London with it.
Price: £375 Now SOLD
No dibs, just PM me.
Pictures coming shortly.
