FS: Planet X/Lynskey Ti Sportive - MOVED!!

Financial realities (mainly daughter newly at Uni!) mean that I am having to offer this up for sale a scant 3 months after buying this on the forum (https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/312446/). Hey ho, needs must!

I have hardly used it so it is in pretty much the same condition as when I picked it up. The bottom bracket got a bit creaky when I last rode it before Christmas, but I will have a quick look at it and check. I have only changed the seatpost (USE) and saddle (Fizik Antares). Spec as follows:

Frame: Planet X Ti Sportive made by Lynskey (56m)
Fork: Carbon Enigma Etape Fork
Headset: FSA Orbit
Wheels: Handbuilt Hope Mono RS hubs with Polished Archetype H-Plus Son Rims (28h)
Shifters: Sram Rival 10spd
Brakes: Sram Rival
Chainset: Sram Red 50/34
Cassette: Shimano 105 11-28
Front Mech: Sram Rival
Rear Mech: Sram Red
Guards: PDW Full Metal Fenders
Tyres: GP 4000s 23mm front / Vittoria Pave CG 24mm Rear
Seatpost: USE alloy (25 with appropriate shim to 27)
Saddle: Fizik Antares
Bottle Cages: Silver alloy
Pedals: Not included

I paid £1,450 for it (which I think was a good price), but knocking off £250 for a quick sale (& the price of my eyes being bigger than my wallet!). So asking £1,200 for a very nice titanium bike (+ 5% of sale price to forum).

Bike is in Battersea (SW8) for viewing/pick up - would prefer cash, but could accept paypal if buyer covers the fees.

Cheers!

Really sorry to hear you're having to sell. I loved this bike.

For any potential buyers the bottom bracket was new mid last year

Thanks @Saffronspokes - gutted, but need to generate the funds.

Uni has got a lot more expensive since I went (not surprising seeing as it was over 30 years ago!)

After doing a bit of research I may have over priced this so reduced to an end of January sale price of:

£1,000!!

(can't go any lower than this otherwise I might as well keep it - definitely don't want to go the *B*y route)

No interest it seems, so it's going back in the shed (or under the cover, as I don't have a shed!) - going to alternate it with my other commuter steed.

This is back up for sale after a very dispiriting trip to EBay (highest bid = £530!).

The only changes from the original post are a pair of Rubino Pro tyres (23c) and I have taken off the mudguards (but have kept them so they are still included).

The reserve price was £750 so I'll let it go for that on here to save going back down the eBay route. Pick up from Battersea (evenings/weekends) or I can ride it to work near Holborn for lunchtime pick up. If no interest I'll have to split it :-(

What is the tire clearance?

I had a 25c on the back with no issues (other than the mudguard wouldn't fit!). I'm sure it would go up to 28c without a problem (not sure after that).

So with guards it's pretty much 23c max ?

It was for me, but I didn't try very hard to adjust them. According to reviews, they are designed for 23c but 25c do fit (+ they even managed to get a 28c to fit!)

I have this as my winter bike - I have sks chromoplastics with 25 Vittoria paves and 6800 callipers. its close but works fine and not had a prob in three seasons. Looks like same frame size.

(on the back that is - I have a diff fork with long drop brakes on the front - don't know about clearance on these forks...)

Looks like I'm going to have to split this :-(

Frameset (frame, forks, headset & seatpost collar) - £450
Wheelset - £150

If there's any interest in any of the other bits, let me know and I'll come up with a price (check above for the details).

Cheers
