Following on from my intro thread here this is the Rourke Cycles custom frameset.
Image library here
Gloss black frame and fork, white and silver banding. The frame is TIG welded from Reynolds 853, the fork is an Enve Road 2.0 (inch and eighth) and the headset is Chris King. Stainless steel dropouts, and a stainless steel chain pip. Built for mechanical caliper groupsets.
Unused. Why? Well, I had a Rourke made for me about 7 years ago, and I rode and rode and rode it. I sent it off for a repaint and it vanished. As far as they could ever establish, stolen from a momentarily unattended van. Rourke remade the frame, but by the time it arrived I'd built the components onto another frameset for a holiday, and then life got in the way.
Takes a 27.2mm seat post and will run Hunt Aero rims (24mm) with 25mm Vittoria Open Corsa tyres no problem.
Dimensions are:
Effective Top Tube - 550mm
Seat tube 565mm (centre BB to top of virtual top tube) drop to (actual) 525mm
Seat Angle - 73.5
Head angle - 73
Fork rake - 44
BB height - 10.5
Head Tube - 138mm
Free steerer length is 55mm, enough for 10mm spacer, stem and a 10mm on top. It's an inch and an eighth fork.
I'm looking for £700 for the frameset collected from North London (N4). As mentioned all of the proceeds of sale will be going to charity, and I hope to price things to sell. I want them used, and it's important to me that they are passed on.
If you would like to make your own donation to charity as well, that's cool with me, but I don't want anyone to feel obliged.
