Unfortunately I have come to the point where I have to sell a couple of bikes to free up some funds.
I've been informed that the frame is an ex hire frame from Herne Hill. It has seen plenty of use over the years and carries signs of this. Mainly some pretty ratty paint and a scuff on one of the decals. There is a small ding near the BB shell, I only came across this when I was giving it a quick clean earlier on, I can't see it being a big issue and it certainly doesn't effect the ride.
The wheels are Alesa Chaser rims built onto Miche Primato hubs with Sapim spokes. Built up by the guys at Cycle PS early last year, the rims were previously on my road bike, so both front and back have seen brakes. They are however a very nice set of wheels to ride.
The front is on a Halo Twin Rail tyre with plenty of life and the rear is a gatorskin still with some time to go.
The crankset is a Miche Primato, this crankset had only seen track use until about 6months ago when it was put on this frame, and since then has seen minimal and light road use. In good condition with a 48T stronglight chain ring. Current ratio is 48x17.
Headset and BB were new on early last summer if I remember correctly, and are both really smooth.
I really can't stress enough how reluctant I am to sell this bike.
Its a beautiful comfy, smooth ride and a great bike for spring, if we ever get one.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I'm based in Peckham, but could meet most areas in London, I am reluctant to post.
SOLD
