SOLD Affinity Lo-Pro, Size L (60.5cm ST 57cm TT) in Army Green, Gipiemme Deep Wheelset / Bullhorn / carbon seatpost - SOLD £300

SOLD SOLD SOLD

Hi All,

I had this (large) frameset in the attic for about a year and wasn't sure if it was going to be too big or not. Since the weather has been good and I had purchased / gathered most of the parts, I have built it over the weekend and surprise surprise, it is too big.

This is the Large version, which has a 60.5cm seat tube and 57cm top tube, so will fit someone around 6ft1 ish.

I am therefore selling the complete bike.

About the frameset:
The Affinity Lo-Pro is an original take on pursuit style geometry, by creating a steep lo pro frame which is fast and aero yet comfortable to ride.
A sick race, or street track bike, the LoPro has its distinctive sloping top tube and our Affinity 1 inch fork.
Specifications:
• 4130 Cro-Mo Tubing
• 700c LoPro track geometry
• Affinity lugged 1 inch straight blade fork
• Short wheel base
• Twitchy fast frame set
• 27.2 seat post
• Army Green
I purchased the frameset used so there are signs of use and paint chips here and there. It is not a new or showroom bike.

About the parts:

• Brand new Dia-Compe Gran Compe SE Threaded Headset Black 1", fitted with a 5mm slim carbon spacer.
  
• 105mm ITM stem in black, coupled to BLB chrome bullhorns, wrapped in brand new camo tape. Front brake is a Campagnolo Avanti with an unbranded lever.
  
• Seatpost is a 27.2mm carbon Shimano Pro Race, coupled to a Selle Italia Turbo saddle. Seatclamp is a sought after Thomson Elite.
  
• Chainset is a Sugino Messenger Track with matching bottom bracket and 46t chainring. Chain is a pretty sweet KMC K710 SL Gold Track chain (1 season at HHV). Pedals are black VP565 which can take straps.
  
• Wheelset is a used Gipiemme Pista (sealed hubs and 40mm rims) with brand new Vittoria Diamante Pro tyres in 700c x 23mm and brand new 17t Lifeline fixed sprocket and lockring.
  
  

So all in, quite a few new or lightly used parts around a decent frame.

Apart from the paint chips, it is worth noting that:

• the wheelset has previously been used on the singlespeed, hence the brake track marks. The wheels are still true and there is plenty of braking surface left.
  
• the PRO carbon seatpost bolt are rounded off so they will need to be changed at some point as they will inevitable slip.
  
• the stem as a 26.4mm clamp while the bars are 26mm therefore I have fitted a very classy 'can of stella' shim to avoid slippage.
  
• the pedals have slight play in them.
  
  

All in, it is a decent used ride, the frameset alone still retails at 550$ which is about £430.

I am after SOLD SOLD SOLD for £300 to @gubhi for the full bike, which I think is really reasonable.

Test ride and pick up from Stoke Newington.

Thanks for looking,

Vince

Damn , im so into that frameset.

If splitting , lemme know

GLWS

Splitting is not a problem.

I will take 50% off the retail price so that's £215 for the frameset + £12 for the headset = £227

You might as well buy the full bike ;-)

true dat , but since im located in Berlin , this might be more a problem , then just gettin the frame

btw : id buy the rest for 70 bucks :^)

book Eurowings to London, spend day and night soaking up London-in-summer, buy bike, cycle back to Berlin. *ymmv *other cities available

I just want the bar tape. Dibs if splitting &c &c

The bar tape is easy to find and cheap - just type either marble bar tape or camo bar tape in eBay / AliExpress. About £2 posted.

The fancy versions are Cinelli Camouflage Tape or Lizard Skins DSP Camo Bar Tape which are around £20.

owned the same frame in M size for 2 years... you can go and pick it, really cool to ride with !

Nice one, thanks!

::edit:: to remove Readers' and stop nausing up your thread ; )
