Purchased a Giant Avail Pro last spring for my wife, but the colour was pretty gash, so I lovingly stripped the paintwork off and sanded the entire thing down to the carbon. It was then lacquered with proper 2k stuff and she loved it...for about 12 months.
Now Titanium gravel bikes are all the rage and I have to sell this beautiful frame that I spent the best part of 2 weeks sanding. I'm not mad, just disappointed.
Anyway, here is a link to the original bike so you can admire the terrible original paintwork: https://www.liv-cycling.com/gb/avail-advanced-pro
And here is what it looks like now:
Fukken awesome, I know. I really don't understand why felt the need to paint it cell-block gray.
I'm selling the frame with a Cane Creek headset and Shimano BB, both of which have a tonne of life left. The frame has the full internal tubes to make getting gear cables routed a breeze. It has never been crashed and other than some paint chips around the aluminium dropouts / brake mounts it is in great condition.
It's hard to see in the images but there are some areas where the lacquer is less smooth than others, it can be polished down to perfect smoothness but I just never got round to it.
So there you have it, a perfect frame for a bling ladies custom build. It's a Medium frame which according to giant is a 54cm, full geo data can be found on the giant site link above.
I'm looking for £450 for it, but may be open to offers...
Collection from London E15 is preferred, but I'm also willing to post at the buyer's expense.
