Right... I've given it a good clean (probably not good enough but I tried). A few points of note (some not as good) are as follows.
There is speckles of black nail varnish here and there. Mainly around the bottom bracket shell to just protect the paintwork where the top layer had veen chipped away.
In addition to the skimmed section inside the forks from previous owner, sadly I've managed to cause some damage during my idiotic riding with gravel tires in the rear seatstays near the rim/tire are in line with the calipers. One side is deeper but I've obviously managed to catch summat in there due to the tight interface of the tire.
I have added extra bottle bosses in there to allow for my bikepacking bags. This was carefully done and I added epoxy on the inside to reduce any risk of water ingress at the edges (of the inside and out).
Headset and seatpin are both inlcuded but I can't remember if the bearings needed updating. Quite possibly.
Just noticed that I've also managed to get a little dent in the side of the seattube (sorry... I'm a bloody idiot)
Now if someone can advise on pricing strategy as I really don't wanna lose too much money on it but obviously the original £700 I set isn't probably gonna get the sale I was hoping for...
