Bike Clearout Round 4- Talbot super custom. (roughly 55cm) - £2500

To say selling this feels wrong is probably appropriate, but sense at some point must prevail.
I've considered hanging it on the wall, but it deserves to be ridden.
Originally built with rim brakes, now converted to Disc because I felt like it.
It has not changed how great it is to ride and no geo has changed as a result.
As currently set up it weighs 10.5kgs.
See Geometry attached.

That is lovely, glws

Geo.

This is quite possibly absolutely perfect and exactly what I’d want out of a near do it all bike. Dayum.

You ride a 79.4mm saddle height?

Yep. Long legs and arms.
And remember this was a Scherrit Approved fit prior to me hurting myself recently.

Stunning! I assume the seatpost length dimension is longer than on the geo chart though due to the sloping top tube?

Yes.
I will get some further photos and proper c-c measurements when I get home at 6.

Amazing

Measurements:
TT: 54.5cm C-C
DT: 55cm C-C
HT: 15cm

Great looking and GLWS. Just curious but how is that weighing 10.5kg?

Not sure- will have to re-weigh, and use some proper scales, not my rubbish bathroom ones. Weight has never been the aim with any of my bikes until recently.

bloody nice. It must hurt to sell this. Sadly I cannot afford it right now what with everything, but GLWS

Is the Reynolds 853?

More complex:
HT- Paragon machine works
DT - Columbus spirit mega max biaxially ovalized
ST - Reynolds custom drawn swaged (853 31.8 to 28.6 profile)
Columbus Zona s bend chainstays
Columbus Zona seat stays
TT is also custom Reynolds

That's is quite some mix going on!

what are the tyre clearances on this beauty?

Between 25 and 28 tyre dependent.

Wow! If only had some spare cash!

a little under my requirements :( glws, amazing bike!

Thats lush.. How tall are you?

Trying to resist, but can’t help keep flicking back to this thread. If only I was able to shift my Exploro which is currently sat down in London, as I’d be ploughing those funds into this. Have a bump - GLWS.

177cm.
