Oh, here's an old crappy picture of it in its element with the Restrap bag.

And here are the tags. Badge and model plate are metal.

Nice looking steed. What else will you be selling?

My beloved Bridgestone MB-1
-

I'm a saddle away from building up a 1993 Bridgestone RB-1. If I weren't, your Diverge would be so very tempting. Why not take it with you?

pics of the mb-1?

I'll pm them, I'm not advertising it yet as it'd be good to have a bike until next month.

Sick bike. Have one in carbon.

Love this. 61cm though. How tall are you!?
-
• #16
I'm 188cm, or 6'2"
Saddle is pictured at 80cm height from bottom bracket, if that helps. -
• #17
Oh no - we're the same height. I've always ridden 58 Specialized frames. Does the Diverge size up different?
-
• #18
They're all slightly different, yes.
Diverges are compact bikes, so the reach is not as long as in a pure road bike. I usually ignore the brands' sizing and look instead at stack and reach. I have no idea how Specialized comes up with the 61cm, for instance. Prob virtual seat tube, but I find it irrelevant.
What Specialized frame you're more familiar with? If you know the year I can tell you how they compare.

58 Allez and 58 Langster. I’ll let this play on my mind for another day, but can’t really afford / justify it right now...
-
• #20
Sure, no worries
-
• #21
Might be a useful reference for others, actually: quick look at the geometry chart tells me that the 61 Diverge is 8mm longer and 16mm taller than a 58 Allez.
390 / 398 reach
627 / 643 stack -

One price drop before sticking it on eBay

on eBay now. Sad.
I'm leaving London, so I need to sell my bikes. First up is the bike I used for many Audaxes last year, set up for long days in the saddle. It's a Diverge, I think 2015, in a colourway that I'm not sure ever came to the UK (this bike was imported from the US). It's this bike, with a few upgrades so here's the spec list:
Specialized Diverge Comp DSW 61cm
Gloss candy red & light blue
Stack: 643mm
Reach: 398mm
Trail: 53mm
Wheelbase: 1039mm
BB Height: 273mm
AXIS 3.0 Disc SCS wheelset
Compass Bon Jon Pass tyres
Shimano 105 groupset
Shimano BR-785 hydraulic brakes
Praxis Turn Zayante 172.5mm
Praxis Bottom Bracket
50/34 – 11/34 gearing
Specialized 110mm stem
Salsa Cowbell 3 handlebars
Bar-end mirror (!)
Specialized Plug & Play mudguards
COMES WITH:
Restrap custom framebag (sized specifically for this frame)
Praxis BB tools
Specialized bottle cages, black
COMES WITHOUT:
Saddle
It's been well taken care of, I washed it after every long ride and always kept it indoors. The cranks, levers, and rear skewer have scuff marks but nothing too serious. Front is thru axle. I need to take a picture of the Restrap bag (sorry, forgot), and I can take pics of any other detail, just ask.
