Cheers Creek, it's a lovely thing. If you were a little closer I'd be cool with the wheel thing, but would rather drop the bike off as it is!
£450 - hate to think what it's cost me considering it's done about 10 miles.
okay so... here's what its worth (yadda yadda - I know that's to a degree irrelevant) : )
Frame £550 plus shipping and import and duty from singapore (not included here) beyond cinelli quality imho. Also made from AL6069 alloy 40% greater yield strength.
Wheels cost me about £200
Chainset Andel, think it was £75
Tyres about £50
Stem about £50
Saddle used turbomatic £30
Crabon seatpost £15
BB and brake £25
Finger lever and Bar Cannondale plus some nice Bontrager God knows.
soooo.... that's £945 in realworld quids plus at least another ton to get the frame into the UK in the first place. I've haggled on some aspects and got the frame and stem at a good price, but this is what you are getting. I think my price is fair and that even includes driving it as far as Brum. (or not - I can't drop this anymore but need the space)
