Paragrafrytterklubben -- Principia appreciation

Pre-2005 basically.

dates as Lolo said, RSL and Rex are fine frames.

This is outrageous. @Josh012 you could be this cool

I've had loads but my ellipse sx was my favourite but anything 2005 or earlier as mentioned, aluminium, no dents and the anodized frames always clean up really nice and one that takes a regular 1 1/8 headset as some required odd sized lower bearing cups which are hard to find now and expensive

I've got a nice TT2 and track bike, along with a Rex and RSL winter one.

I am a Principiaholic

If anyone has a horizontal dropouts frame in sizes 48-55 I am here pls take my cash

I have an anodised black Principia track bike in my loft - think its a 50 summat frame but it was a custom frame apparently so doesn’t match normal geo chart... bought it and realised quickly it was too small... its got a mishmash of parts
It also had Ciclos uno logos alongside the Principia decals.
Miche crankset, drilled fork.... will dig out some pics

@Josh012 get yourself on this

Thanks, please send over details kind sir

@Josh012
Best I can do right now

built this up last fall. came with triple ultegra, aksiums etc etc. All parts bought 2nd hand, except cables, tapes and headset. 7.2 kg. Ended up bit lighter than my carbon bike. feels stiff, not harsh, handles well.
But frame must go since I copped me myself a cheap Rex e Pro.

Can we see the rex pro?

frame should arrive today :)
finished build will be posted soon.

Don't rush, finish it lovingly.

Brand new 51cm frame here - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265048948375

I work round the corner from Effingham if anyone bought it and wanted me to bring it back to London (E10)

I really want this, shame £800 is a little steep. Or am I missing something?

I’ve just posted this on the classifieds if anyone is interested. As previously mentioned there’s also a track bike knocking around if anyone wants to make me an offer :-)

Nice to see Principias making some money ... maybe.
Finally happy with the set up of mine.

Yeah I think it'll be on sale for some time. Looks like it is a NOS of one of the last of the good ones made.

I could have bought two of my Principias, fully built, for the price of this one, and I could have also paid for the 650c f&f with the change.

But I am stingy

... or nicely selective at the right time.

There's a 54cm RCS for £175 in Chelmsford if anyone is looking
