Brand new: Bowman Palace 3 frame set, 54cm top tube - £200
This was bought when Bowman ran a yard sale to sell a number of frames at discounted prices that were slightly damaged and so they did not want to sell them at full price.
Why am I selling, well because I never build the bike and it’s unused wasting space. I went hoping to buy a rim brake model but they had none so bought the disc brake. However I know nothing of disc brakes and had no parts and also fixed the bike fit of my current bike that I wanted to replace.
I paid £250, looking for £200!
Can throw in some rotars they also gave me for free, no idea if they are good, also unused.
There was a post on their instagram about but it’s been removed.
** As indicated in the image they told me that the issue was a slight misalignment in the seat stays. They told me that this makes it slightly stiffer to insert the axle than normal. However they did show me them putting an axel in on the day it looked fine, it didn’t require any additional force than I would expect. **
Parts Spec as labelled on the day
Seatclamp - 30.5mm
Headset - IS41 top IS49 Bottom
