I originally imported this from Denmark last year to build for my mum, but alas she has injured her knee and couldnt lift her leg over the top tube so I've had to build her something more accessible. These seem somewhat uncommon, certainly in the UK. I can only find a photo of one other in this colour.
Can easily built up as geared, hub geared, single speed or fixed.
For sale is: Frame & Fork, Surly Monkey Nuts, SKS mudguards, handlebars, stem and FSA headset - £250
Size - 52cm square
Condition - It was knocked over by a customer in a shop, so the paint has some small chips on the NDS, but nothing serious, I built it up for the first time and then it was taken apart after never having been ridden - So I think I can fairly say very good condition.
Clearance - 700 x 35c tyres with mudguards, 40/42c-ish without mudguards. (The rear is a bit more due to being horizontal dropouts)
Paint - pearlescent sparkle, it changes colour from blue to purple depending on the direction/type of light. Looks blue in the photos, its quite hard to get across, but when you see it IRL its quite impressive!
Mudguards - 45mm SKS, drilled to mount directly to the boss on the back of the seat tube. The rear inc. QR mounts so you can easily remove the rear wheel just by pulling them out.
Headset - FSA Orbit X, sealed bearing, very smooth
Handlebars - Ergotec aerowing II
Stem - Gusset
Dropout spacers - Surly Monkey Nuts (Type 2), super useful spacers that make it much easier to keep the wheel postion the same in horizontal dropouts
"Monkey Nuts clamp into ... horizontal rear fork ends (aka dropouts) to make spacing the wheel back easy. Just install them then install the wheel all the way forward. Bang, done."
Ideally collection from NE London, but I can deliver locally or post as a last resort.
