56cm square giant cfr pro with shimano 600 9speed and ultegra shifters
It pains me to sell tbh but I don't ride road bikes anymore and so it needs to go.
I stripped the frame with carbolift which is safe on plastic and left it raw. There's still a little bit of paint here and there on the aluminium but I liked the rattiness so it stayed.
Rd, fd, cranks, brakes and hubs are all tricolour 600. Headset 600 but unsure of pedigree. Rims are old open pros and have a great deal of life left. Brifters are 9sp ultegra as is the cassette and freehub that I transplanted onto the 8sp hub. The brifters took cosmetic damage over time so I stripped the down a bit. The effect is ratty but they work fine.
Bars are really nice 3ttt superleggero, included is an 3ttt stem in 120mm that would look really nice if the extra reach is desired.
Saddle is a flite titanium bolted to a generic carbon seatpost.
Seatpost bolt needs replacing as the Allen fitting has enlarged over use.

Carlton track/path frame with issues.
An owner in the past has fucked the bb shell to all heck. The threads are gone and it's way too loose. I recon someone forced Italian cups in there at some point. As such I've epoxied a decent campag bb in there and left it to cure for a few months. I intended to build it as a ss winter beater with mudguards but never got round to it. I since picked up a mavic bb as a solution to the stripped shell which is included in this sale.
The original forks (ones in the pic aren't), headset and stem are included as the stem is in pretty tight and I haven't the inclination to wrestle with it.
