Actually, I am going to modify and buy this myself. It's a brilliant frame. Not that anyone here was interested anyway!

I think it was timing being so close to Christmas .price you not far off for a carbon winter /2nd bike .

Thanks folks. Uncertain degree of possible frame damage also not a great draw : )

This is back up for sale with bottle cage screw fixed and no damage to frame confirmed. £500. Decent price I think for super racy and versatile frame. Too small for me - cannot get comfortable on it.

Pearson Carbon Audax Pro, medium

Selling this for a friend. Pearson of Sutton (now Richmond) made these bikes for a few years in the noughties and they were aimed at Audax riders wanting a fast carbon frame. Takes full mudguards and rack but rides pretty much like a race bike. Full review here.

This one has Centaur Ten speed and Roval wheels, all in good working order. There's a few marks on the frame and one fixable problem: one of the downtube bottle cage screws is stuck, most likely caused by oxidisation between alloy rivnut and the carbon or just not well fitted in first place.
The repair will be simple if surrounding carbon is undamaged. If it is damaged from rivnut spinning, will be more costly. Either way, the frame's overall integrity isn't compromised.
I may take it down to Pearson to see if it's an easy fix if I get a chance.
Virtual top tube CTC is 54 cm. Seat tube 54 cm.
I'd take this myself if it wasn't too small as it rides brilliantly. Feels very solid and comfortable but also super stiff and responsive. I'm not into carbon but this is a classy frame.
I will probably replace the Brookes saddle with something else but if you want it and can meet price, it'll stay. Pedals not included.
£650 but I appreciate folks will want to know the likely repair cost if they want to use two bottle cages.
It'll be collection only from Croydon.
