Yellow beast! :)
I've taken this on 2 tours & love it but due to a knee injury i'm going to be out of action for a while.

FRAME SIZING
TT // 58.5cm
ST (BB to Center) // 58.5cm
ST (BB to top of seat tube) // 61cm
Frame has quite a few little scrapes and chips but no dings, just general cosmetic wear and tear which IMO is ideal for touring. 631 tubing & includes all the rack bosses you need for touring. Havn't seen another Donohue like this! The paint is ace.
BUILD/PARTS
→ Dura ace shifters (some scrapes but function great)
→ Fulcrum Racing 5 wheelset (smooth & solid)
→ Thomson stem (great condition)
→ Chris King 1" ahead headset including converter for threaded set up
→ Shimano 105 Crankset, 10spd (few scrapes but all straight and plenty of life in rings)
→ Shimano 105 front brake, Shimano R415 long drop on back to work with frame
→ Think bars are Deda Piega but cant actually remember + barely used fizik tape
→ Super Solid Tubus rack (could be set up flatter, I was rushed)
→ Time 1" carbon fork (some cosmetic damage which has been sharpied over but totally sound and lovely shape)
→ Original steel 1" fork also included (see photos)
→ Flite titanium (lil bit ratty but comfy)
→ Carbon seatpost (fairly cheap & old, probably worth something more solid for touring but i never had problems)
→ Shimano 105 Front / rear derailleur
→ Basically brand new ultergra bb
→ SKS rear and front mudguard (front trickier to fit)
OTHER INFO
→ ATM it's fitted with a slightly short chain (I transferred everything over from another frame onto this including slightly shorter chain). I'll include a brand new 10spd chain.
→ Probably benefit from a light service if going on another tour, just to tune gears/brakes a touch more, but rides totally fine as is
→ The front derailleur is shimmed as it's a 31.8mm band, works totally fine/solid
I love this bike and wish I could foresee myself using it more but alas being realistic i wont, so rather it's getting ridden. It's last outing was across the Scottish Highlands & it was a beautiful ride. Very comfy but also responsive.
Price SOLD. Willing to post.
Any question let me know!
