  • Hi everyone

    It's time to let this one go, as I'm getting a cx bike and do not have the space!

    I built this up myself, from a frameset bought from a nice chap on here in April last year. It has been meticulously looked after and maintained by myself, and is running more sweetly than any of my other bikes. Shifting, braking, cable glide are all simply perfect. This is a super fun bike to ride, and as built it weighs in at approx 7.3kg according to my luggage scales. It is incredibly quick to accelerate and I do not feel it's any less stiff or efficient when compared to my Canyon Ultimate CF. This was built as a somewhat luxury second bike, hence the quality of the parts and build.

    The frame is a size 52. For reference I'm 173cm, perhaps of the slightly leggy variety - and have a 75.1cm saddle height here, measured to bottom bracket. I also ride a size 54 Caad and a size S (also 54) Canyon. The contact points are set up to match my Canyon (on which I've been fitted) perfectly. If you check the geo charts for the ALR you'll see that the difference in reach between the 52 and the size up is within a few mm, though the 52 has a shorter headtube / lower stack and as such a less slope in the top tube, making for a slightly racier fit.

    This bike has taken me across the Alps, Gran Canaria, Sicily and Mallorca, and has been utterly faultless!

    Kit is as follows:
    Ultegra R8000 throughout except:
    Ultegra 6800 shifters
    105 5800 Crankset (52/36, 170mm) and Cassette (11-32)
    Campagnolo Zonda C17 wheelset
    Kalloy Uno (ultralight) Stem - 100mm
    Riesel Design Carbon TopCap
    Deda Zero100 Alloy Bars - 40cm c-c
    3T Stylus 25 Team Carbon Seatpost in stealth black on black
    Fizik Antares R5
    KMC chain
    Shimano R550 SPD-SL Pedals
    Carbon bottle cages (19 gr each) - with added sugru mod, no lost bottles ;)
    Cinelli Kaleidoscope leather bartape
    Weels Mfg mech hanger

    I'm looking for £825, collected in Whitechapel E1

    The rear wheel's brake surface is showing some wear (pictured) but has plenty of life left.. Just some slight concave wear to the brake surface. I've actually checked wall thickness with some dentist's callipers and can confirm these have many 1000's of km's to go yet. However I am more than happy to sell with barely used Mavic Aksium's (also 17mm internal rim width) if preferred.. We can discuss appropriate price reduction if so.

    Following from this, I'm also willing to split if there's interest in the frame, or sell as full bike minus wheels, pedals, saddle etc etc. I'm flexible. Lastly, I can add in an excellent condition R8000 crankset of same measurements if Ultegra throughout is preferred, again price adjustment to be discussed if so.

    I've tried to show all minor blemishes in the photos, as you can see this bike is in lovely condition.. I've no idea how I scraped the rear mech, I think just by virtue of travels!

    Any questions do just shout. Thanks for looking!

  • Potentially interested in full bike minus wheels. Do you have a top tube measurement, c-t-c? Thanks.

  • Bike minus wheels will work, it's actually my preference as I'd quite like to keep the zondas if possible

    Effective top tube is 53.4 according to the geo chart.
    Stack is 54.7 and reach is 37.9 (which happens to be identical to my size 54 caad8)

    I think the steep STA at 74.2°, plus the 25mm setback seatpost accounts for the slightly shorter effective top tube measurement on paper, and yet same fit as on the caad

    Hope that helps
