Time for this to go, It's been sitting unused for a year in the work office.
Has forum lineage, I got it from @rogan nearly 6 years ago, I believe he had it for a couple of years from a forumer prior etc etc...
It's 52cm square, comes with Chris King headset, steerer shim, spacers to fit a Thompson X2 stem, top nut and becuase they can't be removed, a bottom bracket and seatpost. I'll include the beaten Romin saddle too.
So lets get the ugly out the way.
1: THIS FRAME HAS DAMAGE! Dented seat stay! I think this happened 4 years ago falling down St Paul's steps, but can't be sure. It's never got worse, track coaches have allowed it on track and mechanics have said "well if it hasn't got worse by now its probably fine"
That being said, I'm all of 65Kg and never given it abuse.
2: Seat Post is stuck in. I've never tried anything near destructive to remove it because I've never needed to, but it won't move now. I'm 5ft 6 and wear 30" leg jeans.
3: Rogan couldn't remove the bottom bracket 5 years ago, no reason to believe it would come out easily now! however, it seems smooth and I've never had a reason to try and remove it. The teeth on the cup are a bit mangled...this could be an issue if it is proper stuck.
4: Bottle cage bolts on the seatpost are stuck. (Downtube bolts are fine)
5: Paint litteraly fell off the rear triangle, it's been hand painted silver and covered in stickers. Chrome bottom half has rust pitting
6: Dropouts are pretty worn where the wheels have been bolted on.
7: headset could do with a clean up... amazed the grease is still red under there though.
