Hello hello!
I'm selling off this heavily customised Charge Hob Mixte. It's my wife's and she simply does not use it any more since getting a geared bike (I know, I know, the same of it!)
The bike was purchased new back in 2013, though the only original parts left are the frame, headset, seatpost and saddle - everything else has been upgraded over time and well loved.
Here is the list of parts:
Frame: Charge Hob Mixte SS (Medium)
Forks: Genesis Carbon fiber, resprayed
Front wheel: Halo Aero Track hub & rim
Rear wheel: Halo Track hub & Mavic CXP22 rim
Tires: Schwalbe Durano Dual compound 25c
Stem: Spank 1 Timer
Bars: Answer Pro Taper
Brake Levers: Avid Speed Dial 7
Brake Calipers: Promax/Alongha Calipers (new pads)
Cranks: Race Face Cadence 130bcd
Chainring: Gebhardt GTP 42T
BB: Shimano RS60
Chain: Izumi Track (tough as nails)
Freewheel: Shimano SF-MX30 16T
Pedals: DMR V12
The bike is in good condition with the usual scuffs from normal street use. Most of the components have a lot of life left in them, the chain, freewheel and chainring are essentially new.
Sadly, there is one issue though, the cranks have started developing some play that no amount of tightening can sort out. After some diligent investigating I believe that the crank axle spline is damaged/rounded. So although the bike is rideable, you'll want to swap out the cranks at some point - hence the low price.
£250 - collected from the olympic velodrome (London 2012).
Some more pics for you :)
