I bought this a while back to use for a 100 mile charity ride (my first geared bike in a long time!). It's a fun ride but it's a tad too small for me so time to pass it on. Mostly Italian components with a range of Campagnolo.
Frame:
C-T - 22" (56cm) - I'm 6'1" so would think it'd be a good fit for someone between 5'7" & 6'.
Tubing - Dedacciai Zero Tre
Frame number - Bottom bracket shell reads '5R55D 3900'
Condition - Overall the frame is in good used condition. A few minor age related paint chips here and there that may want touching up. Light pitting to some of the chrome. I have carefully checked it over and can't find any dings, dents or cracks. The previous owner had some race stickers on there which I haven't removed as I like the history. Also has the Swiss bike shop stickers from where it must've been originally purchased.
Components:
Cranks - Campagnolo Mirage 170mm
Front rings - Campag Exa drive (52, 42, 32)
Cassette - 8 speed Campagnolo
Front Derailleur - Campag Veloce
Rear derailleur - Campag Xenon
Brake Callipers - Campag Avanti
Shifters - Campag Mirage (slight scuffing to brake lever)
Stem - ITM
Bars - ITM
Tape - Ambrosio (This is new tape, only ridden 5 mins down to our local pier to take photos)
Saddle - Vuelta Selle Bassano
Pedals - Unbranded quills to get on the road
Wheels:
Hubs - Campagnolo, not sure of exact model
Rims - Vuelta Airstream 4 Clinchers (Few marks and a small nick but braking surface looks decent)
Tyres - Schwalbe Marathon 700X23c (Purchased new for my charity ride so have probably only covered around 200 miles in total)
All seems to work as it should and I really enjoyed riding it. I think the gears change smoothly on the whole but I AM usually a single speed person so don't have much to compare it too!
I'm based in Hastings, East Sussex but am helping a friend move to West Dulwich tomorrow (26th) and can pop it in the van. Otherwise, I should be in London again on the 15th of May.
Was thinking £280 (including a tenner for the forum) - let me know if I'm off.
Cheers!
