Hello,
I'm moving and this has been sitting in my closet for ages, is a quite dirty as a result. It is a replica on Denis Menichov's bike to celebrate his 2009 Giro win. The bike is surprisingly comfortable for a pure race machine.
The frame weighs approx 1000g and the fork is 330g, included is carbon FSA headset, BB (may need a service) and long Giant seat clamp.
Basically my old man bought it (lol) in 2011 for a considerable sum from a Giant dealer in Melbourne. Used for some light riding in dry conditions for a few years.. Went to a Defy to improve comfort and it sat in his garage for year. I bought it over to London a few years ago and rode it maybe 12 times in summer. It is just slightly too small for me...im 5'10.
£150
NOTE: I stupidly over-tightened the ISP when it was on the turbo, it is cracked at the very top. I've been quoted circa £180 to fix the crack at the top of the post or if you have a liberal attitude to risk you just ride it with the seat clamp set quite low assuming you are less than about 5'8.
