• Very reluctant sale of my Cervelo Aspero (2020 model year) in what is officially known as Olive, but looks more gold to me! I bought this in November last year and only realised when I got it home (and went to upgrade to a carbon seatpost) that the seatpost was stuck (the guy I bought it from swears he didn't know?!). I then spent the next six months trying to make it fit! I did have a couple of goes to free the seatpost with WD40 and then freezing it, but didn't want to do anything too drastic and risk buggering up the frame.
    As a result I have only used it for a few short commutes to work and a couple of longer rides. It is in really nice condition, which makes the stuck seatpost all the more annoying/puzzling. It originally had a full Apex 1 groupset, but I upgraded this to a carbon Force 1 crankset with an Absolute Black Oval 40t chainring (also have a spider with 44t chainring as well). Basic specs as follows:

    FRAME: Cervélo All-Carbon
    FORK: Cervélo All-Carbon, Tapered Áspero
    FRONT BRAKE: SRAM Apex HRD, SRAM Centreline 160mm
    REAR BRAKE: SRAM Apex HRD, SRAM Centreline 160mm
    BRAKE LEVERS: SRAM Apex HRD
    REAR DERAILLEUR: SRAM Apex 1
    SHIFT LEVERS: SRAM Apex 1 HRD
    CASSETTE: SRAM PG-1130, 11-42t
    CRANKSET: SRAM Force 1
    WHEELSET: Fulcrum Racing 800 DB (with Continental GP5000 25c tyres)

    It is a size 56 (geometry available on the Cervelo website - https://www.cervelo.com/en/aspero) and I am 5'10 & 1/4" (with 32" ish inside leg). It is just a touch too big for me with the seatpost stuck where it is, so would probably suit 5'11" to 6' as it is and I can take any necessary measurements (or you could have a go at the seatpost with a little more vigour/ingenuity!).
    Not sure what to ask really, but this retailed at £2,700 new and I would probably be asking for half of that if I was selling it without the seatpost issue. Would half again (i.e. 25% of the new price - £675) be reasonable or too much/not enough? If I can;t get that then perhaps I should split it and hang the frame on the wall (but would rather sell complete).
    Pick up from Clapham (SW4 - near Clapham Common tube) evening and weekends). Any q's just let me know.

  • Will PM.

  • Have you come across https://theseatpostman.com/ ?

  • Methinks I have slightly under priced this, judging by the instantaneous responses! Dibs/PM list looks something like this so far:

    @Grifffff (pick up this evening !)

    @jmg412

    @sifriday - no I hadn't, but will keep in mind for future reference - thanks!

  • Put me at the back of the queue please (in the unlikely event it stays available) as it looks perfect fit for me at 5.11-and-a-bit and exactly what I'm after, stuck seatpost or not. Oh, well ...

  • I'll jump on this queue if somehow everything falls through.

  • Sold!

  • @Grifffff - Here if you decide it's not for you or just want to shift it on at some point :)

  • Shall doo! Gonna give it a tidy and a crack freeing the seatpost tonight. Luckily that seatpostguy linked above is local so could use him if I fail
