SOLD 2008 Lapierre Tech3 M/L 56cm- Flat Bar Conversion - Alu frame with carbon forks - Singlespeed - Light & Fast - £130 - SOLD

NOW SOLD AS A SINGLESPEED

Hi all,

I've had this 2008 Lapierre Tech3 frameset in the attic for a few years and decided to rebuild it a light flat bar commuter bike, in an attempt to clear my parts box.

I ended up buying many new parts to complete it so that didn't work well for me.

The frame is handmade in France out of lightweight aluminium (size M/L - 56cm ctt, 50cm ctc so suitable for someone around 5ft10) , the forks are carbon.
It has scuffs, marks and paint chips all around but no dents!

New parts fitted:

• Planet X Singlespeed conversion kit (chain tensioner and single cog kit)
  
• Black ATB grips
  
  

[ *old setup that has been removed to turn into a singlespeed - New Ritchey Comp white flat bars 31.8mm with 90mm Voodoo stem & blue rubber grips - New Shimano Tiagra 4700 2x10 speeds thumb shifters (those were £40 alone!) - New Tektro FL750 brake levers - New Jagwire inner/outer gear/brake cables - New FSA 10 speed chain*]

Used parts fitted:

• Shimano Ultegra 6600 chainset with 53t and single chainring bolts with external bottom bracket and unbranded plastic pedals
  
• Wheels are 700c Shimano clinchers, R500 front (bearings regreased) and RS10 rear wheel with 10 speed Tiagra cassette
  
• Tyres are Continental Gator Hardshell front in 23mm and Gatorskin rear in 25mm
  [- Shimano Tiagra RD-4700 rear derailleur & Sora FD-2300 front derailleur] removed
  
• Charge Chopstick 27.2mm Seat Post 350mm
  
• Bontrager saddle with titanium rails
  
• Shimano RX100 "Super SLR" brakeset
  
  

Since the bike was stripped down to the frame, I regreased the (semi integrated) headset, trued the wheels, adjusted the brakes & gears. All consumables are in good order so you should be good for the next year or two depending on your riding habits.

It rides very well and would make a great commuter bike.

I am after SOLD FOR £130 for the complete bike, in singlespeed format

Test rides from The City (between Bank & St Pauls)

Cheers

Vince
