I've just bought a new bike and only have space for one, so sadly my faithful Loverdi has to go. Made by Louis Van Dijk in Breda - I've converted it to 11 speed, with a Sram Rival groupset, Praxis chainrings, Specialized Toupe 130 saddle and a Shimano wheelset. It's a 58cm seat tube, 57cm top tube. The Gatorskins have plenty of life left in them as well.

The paint is a little tatty, especially on the chainstay (jammed chain a few years ago) but it's a lovely and unusual fluro pink fade. It also needs new lever hoods as they've started to split where the cables come under the bar tape. They've lasted over four years though so it's not a regular thing.
Otherwise it's all good to go! I'm based in SE26.
Looking for £250, which is significantly less than the parts I've put into it.
Cheers
