• Here goes......

    Selling this due to blah blah blah.

    Bits for sale:

    Varonha frameset, 853, Paris Brest fork crown, semi wrap around seatstays, shiny stainless bits, Ritchey dropouts, rim brake (lonnnnnng drop, think Paul Racer or Tektro r559), mudguard eyelets, rear rack eyelets with a mount on top of the brake bridge (designed to work with a Tubus Fly).
    Geometry is based loosely on an All City Mr Pink.
    72° head, 74° seat.
    130mm headtube
    Top tube 530mm c-c
    Seat tube 520 c-t
    Fork length 385mm a-c
    100/130mm spacing
    Rim brake!
    1 1/8th threadless
    27.2mm seatpost
    28.6mm front derailleur
    68mm BSA bottom bracket
    Downtube shifter/ cable stop bosses

    Size wise, for reference, I'm 5'8" tall/short, use a 100mm stem, an inline seatpost.

    Now the important bit....

    It'll take up to 42mm 700c tyres, and mudguards, I know, how cool is that?!

    It's showing signs of surface rust under the clear coat, but I've peeled some bits away and given a very gentle rub with emery cloth, and boom, rusty goodness gone, nothing too drastic, I would recommend whomever (if anyone) buys it gets it blasted and then painted/powder coated, I was going to get it done before selling, but then decided may be best for the new owner to pick a colour of their choosing rather than whatever whacked out colour floated my boat at a given point in time. If I was keeping it I would probably keep riding it as is, us fucking hipster twats love the patina!

    Included will be:
    Cane Creek 40 headset, black, still very smooth
    One pair of Tektro r559 calipers, black, with Swissstop bxp pads, used
    One pair of Tektro r559 calipers, silver, with Koolstop salmon pads, brand new
    Velo Orange Zeppelin 700x 52mm, black mudguards (includes all fittings), these guards are well used, the front having a little bit of a ding due to my cackhandedness whilst repairing a puncture, but said ding is hidden by the front brake caliper, so don't tell anyone and they'll never know.

    FRAMESET SOLD

    I also have available to go with the frameset if you so desire (for a few extra pounds):
    Pacenti Forza/Hope RS4, black rims/silver hubs/dt comp spokes in 28h flavour front and rear.

    WHEELS SOLD

    Spa Cycles TD2 165mm, 110bcd, cranks (silver or black, or both if you like), with 46/33 rings, like new. SOLD
    Ritchey WCS inline seatpost, black SOLD
    Ritchey WCS C220 100mm, +/-6° stem, black SOLD
    Shimano XT 11-32 cassette, 10 speed (you don't need more than that!)
    Shimano UN55 68mm x 110mm axle sealed bb, square taper is best, ask Uncle Ron SOLD

    Shimano 105 5700 rear and front derailleurs, black, 2x10
    Pair of used Panaracer paselas, 700x38mm SOLD

    Price is £450 posted to your door, or someone else's door if you wanna go that way, obviously there'll be pounds, shillings, and pence to be added if you want some extra bits, but we can thrash that out between ourselves later (you'll get a decent deal, I promise).

    Any questions, don't hesitate to ask (someone else).

    Here's a pic to refresh your memory of what it looked like built up, I'll take some more pics of the bits this weekend.
