Titanium Dave Lloyd Road Bike. Size is 53n top tube (c-c) and 55 seat tube (C-T)
I bought this bike a few years ago as I completely fell for the paint job. In particular the stencil work that cuts through the paint to the titanium surface. It really is a work of art. I realise it's not a fixie or SS but you guys appreciate a bit of art when you see it.
Groupset is extremely low mileage Dura Ace 7700. For example, you can still see the anodising on the inside of the teeth on the chainset! Seatpost is also Dura Ace, as are the brakes,mechs and shifters. Wheels are freshly built Mavic CXP33's with modern (but period style hubs). I can't remember the make but can remember the hubs cost £100 before building costs.
A Selle Royal saddle (in good order) and fresh, new Selle Italia Bar Tape finish the deal - making the bike look stunning!
Very minor points are a slight amount of heel rub on the non driveside crank, two small chips to the paint (worst pictured) on the top tube and the DA gear shift indicator doesn't work (the small orange doughnut that clamps around the gear inner has broken in the display). None of this distracts from the bike though.
This really is a stunning bike. Looking for £600 (at this price you'd need to arrange courier).
