Principia Rex L/XL, Ultegra, Dura Ace

Bought this on eBay in July with plans to build it into a fast lightweight commuter/winter bike. Unfortunately despite the long ST the geometry feels quite compact and is too cramped for me at 6'5", and a house move round the corner has made selling it on more of a priority.

Principia Rex aluminium frame ST 61cm TT 58cm, internal cable routing
Time featherlight carbon fork
Full Ultregra 2x9s groupset, full working order, pretty good condition given age
Daft short angled stem, not got round to changing but have a 120mm Ritchey WCS spare if interested
Front wheel dura ace hub/mavic rim

Feels stiff, light, responsive, good fun to ride. With a bit of love this could be brought back to it's former glory but I no longer have the time or desire since it doesn't fit.

£220 but feel free to tell me if I'm way off

Errrrr, I'd say that is reasonably priced.

Yessir. Glws!

Price drop £210
Think this model was probably produced between 1999 - 2002 (correct me if I'm wrong)
Catalogue from around that time if interested: http://web.archive.org/web/20070710065431/http://www.principiabikes.com/pdf/Principia_2003_part2.pdf

And @fabfurrymarmots I think so! Lot of bike for the money

I know it’s ages. Did it sell?

My godson had some vandals hammer both seat stays on his Specialized Epic Pro I gave him for his 18th.

Hi - nice bike. It is a 1998 Rex, the first Rex, with Time 1” fork and chunky Stronglight annular bearing headset. I have one from same year which still goes very well
