Resurrecting! Rose Xeon X-Lite Team - Size 55 - Big price drop!

Sorry, posted title before completing details!

Up for grabs is my Rose Xeon X-Lite Team (I think it is around a 2015 model year) - cutting back for the winter (cost of living, energy bills etc etc!). It is in very good condition for it's age as the only issue is that the bottom bracket knocks a little at low speeds (goes away once you get up to speed - not sure if t needs replacing/regreasing etc).

Details as follows:

Frame/forks - Rose X-lite Xeon Team - I think it is a 55 in their geometry but will measure it properly when I get home
Full Campagnolo Super Record Groupset
Mavic Ksyrim SLS wheelset (white hubs w/ Continental GP4000 25c tyres)
Ritchey Monolink Seatpost and Selle Italia saddle

I haven't weighed the bike recently but from memory it comes in at less than 6.5 kgs in current guise (without the saddle pack, which does not come with the bike). It's a lot of bike for the money but let me know if I'm out on the price (thought I would try it on here before the dreaded other marketplace!).

Pick up from SW4 evenings/weekends (but could probably get it to a major London terminus if that would help). Any q's just let me know

Up for seeing a picture

I knew there was something I'd forgotten! Photos shortly

is this the same frameset Tom Bell won the national hill climb on?

@fredtc - it's not his (I don't think!) but similar. Pretty sure you could get this down to the 5.5kg mark easily (if you were so inclined!)

Vulturing here but if this gets split I'd be keen on the groupset pending spec and price.

GLWS, seems a keen price to me!

Not looking to split at the moment (but will bear in mind if I do). Cheers

Sizing update!

This is actually a 57 is their sizing (seat tube is 57cm centre-top and the top tube is 56cm centre-centre) - although I would say it's a small 57! I am 5'10 (& a half!) and it fits me very nicely.

My perfect road bike geometry is 55cm top tube and 55cm seat tube and I am 187cm or just under 6'2. If I didn't buy a bike a few months ago I wouldn't hesitate buying this. Really nice bike

If you do split can I have first dibs on the frameset please.

@noelie - it seems I have interest in the groupset, so if you are interested in the frameset then I can probably find a home for the wheels/other bits. Will have a check on possible price and get back to you and @Jose

Let me know a price before you split this. I personally think if you wait the bike will go. Its a lovely bike and great build/frameset. Ypu will definitely sell it but it.

I forgot to ask why type bb is compatible with this frameset.

@noelie - not sure re. bb (can't find any details online), but it was specced with Super Record, Chorus and SRAM Red (page 102-103 of the catalogue - https://issuu.com/iberobike/docs/cat__logo_rose_2014). It currently has a Campagnolo ultra-torque bb.
I think Rose bike are similar to Canyon so I would plump for BB86 (but I will check when I get home to see if I can be more precise). Cheers

Any interest in the full bike before I go down the splitting route (thereby avoiding other suction sites that shall not be named)?

I have some interest in the groupset and possibly the frameset so can do a full list of parts/prices if that is the way to go.

Cheers

I found a frameset so I won't be looking to buy one now. Good luck selling it. Such a nice bike.

Thanks for letting me know @noelie. I have decided to keep the bike and put a longer cage RD and 32t cassette on it (I have signed up for the Etape next year, my sixth & last and will need all of the 32 teeth to get up the Joux Plane!)

Good luck in the etape… if you are looking to re-home that rear mech, then do give me a shout!

Cheers! PMing you

Change of plans so this is back up for sale (I was going to replace the RD and put on a larger cassette)! I have only ridden it once since the original post went up and the only change I have made is to replace the BB bearings. This was done to get rid of the knocking sound at low speed/revs - it has worked to some extent, but annoyingly there is still a little noise (not sure what else I can do, but everything functions very well).
Everything as per the original post. Don't really want to split at the moment so reducing the price of the complete bike to see if there is interest. Can't remember what I had it on for before but will take GBP850 ONO (if that's fair). Any qs just let me know. Cheers

£850 for the complete bike? What a bargain! That’s basically less than the group set on the awful auction site. GLWS!

PMing you …

Haha, yes but we all know that pricing on the site that shall not be named is variable to say the least!
