It's time this went to someone who will love it for the agent of chaos that it is.
Bought back in 2010ish with a crack in the bb shell. I had the crack repaired (but not re-sprayed as you can see) then rode it around single speed as a student.
Since then it's picked up a few more flecks of rust on the surface of the flouro-white fade paint, but is otherwise structurally sound and still hilarious / stunning because of the geometry. I'm just not riding it (it's not great for commuting!) so I think it deserves a better owner.
Tubing is Columbus. Fillet brazed. Frame size is approx 56cm – hard to be exact with all the curves and steep angles but both the seat tube and top tubes are 56cm c-c (in a straight line). Internal cable routing and a boss for a single gear lever (set behind the down tube for aero gains).
Front wheel is 600C / 24inch. Included in the price is a lovely hand built wheel with mavic hub, pianni aero tubular rim and bladed spokes (stainless steel I think). Tyre looks perished. I used to buy the Vittoria Raleigh 600c tubs – probably still available somewhere.
Front and rear Shimano 600 tricolor brakes also included, as well as a campagnolo square taper bottom bracket, stronglight (I think) headset, stem and snipped and flipped bullhorn bars with cables set up for bar end brake levers. I think I have a pair of black tektro bar end brake levers somewhere if anyone is interested in those too. Might also have some nitto bullhorns if you wanted a bars upgrade.
Would be great as a ridiculously flashy beater or resprayed (Varonha could do a nice flouro fade job on it) and restored to its former glory.
Asking for £120... now £110... for the lot.
