Oooooo! Might go for this. Any up to date pics? 53cm c to top?

Have you got the geometry and exact dimensions?

It’s pretty much 53cm square

Good if you’ve got a bit of T-Rex going on.

Interested depending on up to date pics....

NNNoooo!

You'll regret it.

so sad this is too small for me
someone buy it

quitter! (rich coming from someone who hasn't raced for 3 years, I know)

Is there cable routing for a clamp on front derailleur

@Howard is a cross purist. This doesnt even have bottle mounts

I cannot afford or justify this bike. Can I test ride it anyway? :)

Such a nice bike. Sell it to someone who turns up more so I can see it again!

Sell it to someone who might win!

Too soon?

Never too soon

You have to be in it to win it.

Why no hydro on this?

Why no hydro on this?

Good question.

At the time of speccing it up, all drop bar hydro options were a combination of incredibly spendy, unreliable and fugly

There's actually a project thread that detailed all that.

That is one good-looking bike, hope it goes to a nice owner! (not my size)

Is my size.
But I can't afford or justify it? I came here to say:don't sell it!

Oof! What a bargain!
