Specialized Diverge Comp DSW 61cm

Posted on
  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Oh, RB-1, very nice!
    Because of this.

  • 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.

  • This is the the owner's kit that comes with the bike:

    • Restrap custom framebag (larger than stock large one)
    • PraxisBB tools
    • Ratchet wrench for Praxis BB tools
    • Original BB press fit bearings and rings
    • Shimano mineral oil, half bottle
    • Bicycle Quarterly issue with Diverge test & review
    • Bottle cages

  • Bike looks great, wish it was smaller! GLWS.

  • haahaa! I'd permanently be in the superman position.

  • Sick bike. Have one in carbon.

  • Love this. 61cm though. How tall are you!?

  • I'm 188cm, or 6'2"
    Saddle is pictured at 80cm height from bottom bracket, if that helps.

  • Oh no - we're the same height. I've always ridden 58 Specialized frames. Does the Diverge size up different?

  • 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...

  • Sure, no worries

  • 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.
