FS: Bowman Palace 52 frameset > SOLD

For sale, Bowman Palace frameset, size 52. Lovely handling frame, stiff, light etc. lots of good reviews, this is the OG model which at the time I believe ranked above the CAAD10. Clearance for wide 25's (I had 27.5MM GP4000 on DCR rims), you might be able to squeeze some 28's on but the ones I tried rubbed on the back and it doesn't need them for comfort.

New Ultegra PF BB last year with very little use since. Threads all good, headset feels smooth, no dings or dents but the usual marks from use. I believe the frame is anodised as it feels very hard wearing and the graphics are removable with acetone (I shifted a couple that had worn slightly) if you want to go stealth. There's about 10mm spare steerer if like me you want a bit of extra stack (normally ride 53/54, this was comfy).

Great frame asking to be built up into a summer smasher, would like £275 > SOLD collection from SE26. Will get some frame only pics up soon, my build didn't do it justice so here's a pic from the previous owner to show it's potential

Someone buy this before I take it back!

Ill think about it

Haha, yeah i'll probably want it back after it goes but sadly it's just not getting used atm.

Yeah this would work well for you, reckon you'd do a nice job of the build too!

I was thinking about selling one of these so could you bump the price up please?

If this was a 54 I'd be very tempted, but sadly it's just too small. Sensible price too. GLWS.

Have you got any Mash stickers I could slap on?

Ta, FWIW I ride a 54 CAAD and this was pretty good with a 120 stem.

My Allez 54cm with a -17 stem and 52cm Bowman with a longer regular angle stem are about 3mm diff in stack and reach from BB

Thing is I'd also need a load of spacers :-/

Self control is needed, buy my all city

What is the TT length on this?

Dibs - Messaged

I ride a 54 and rode this with 130 -8 stem slammed with zero problems. 120 would have been fine as my saddle position was fairly forward too

Second dibs, let me know if user117409 falls through.

Thanks for the messages, this is is due to be collected on the weekend but i have registered interest in case there is a change of circumstances.

Sold, donation to forum made, cheers all.
