  • This was originally an SSXC bike set up with chunky lugged tyres, and painted a light metallic shade. It was repainted brown by Armourtex a few years ago, and is currently set up as a town bike - but could be adapted to a range of uses.

    So - frame, forks and stem by the renowned independent builder Robin Mather. Fillet brazed, with a bilam sleeved effect on the seat tube - pictured, but honestly it would show better with wet paint rather than powdercoat.

    Build is as follows:

    • Mather frameset, including custom Mather fillet brazed stem and Phil Wood adjustable track dropouts
    • Campagnolo Record headset w/ carbon top cap
    • Campagnolo seatpost
    • Random alloy bars - I thought they were Nitto but I can’t find any markings
    • Tektro brake levers
    • Avid cantilevers with titanium hardware
    • Phil Wood SS / fixed rear hub and Campagnolo high flange front, laced 36h to Mavic CXP33 rims
    • Campagnolo Chorus chainset and BB, set up with a single ring
    • Halo Clickster freewheel and Phil fixed cog

    I will post more detailed measurements but this is one for the tall lads - I’m 6ft 3in with long legs. From recall the top tube is a little over 61cm effective. So really only those over 6ft have a chance of riding it comfortably.

    Looking for £600 firm for everything as it stands. Would be willing to split frame / forks / stem for £400. Collection from W6 Hammersmith - would prefer not to post if possible.

    The Brooks saddle pictured is not included (can include something generic if needed) although if you really want it we can discuss pricing. I have a range of other Nitto bars so if you wanted a different shape we can also discuss adding another pair.
