Closed: jontea sticks everything in a box and offers it for sale, £80

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.

I am genuinely upset that you are selling this. Insane bargain for someone

Huge bargain. Wowsers. Would if i could

Thank you both.
Didn't want to price it any higher due to it needing painting or powder coating.

@Psmith if it stays in forum you'll still get to see it, so don't be upset.

Hey would it be possible to come look at this? Also how would the size work out for someone a bit taller (6' 2")? Cheers

Masssive bargain, glws. Luckily I do not have room.

Pm’d

Dammit, why do I have absolutely no need for this whatsoever... it's such a bargain!

lovely

That's basically the price of the tubes alone. Mad bargain for someone

I'm out at the moment, I've had several pms ,so, as only fair, I'll reply to all, but first message gets first dibs.
Should be back in around 3ish.

Cheers all for your interest.

Pmed

Honestly, I wouldn't bother at 6'2", it'll look like a clown bike underneath you.
But cheers for the interest.

Frame n fork.
Pic of fork crown top shows where I emery papered the patina away.

Other bits.

Rear derailleur needs jockey wheels.
Seatpost has been cut to the length shown below, was used at the same height as the silver one in my initial post for reference.

Cassette and bb, pic once I've taken off the wheels and out of the frame, and cleaned.

Right, running order for frameset, headset, brakes, and mudguards (sold as one).

There's also a pair of Shimano ES600 pedals available. See above chainset photo.

Ta, and I'm glad you don't have room, waiting for pink bike to land with you was one of my more stressful weeks, don't think I'd like to repeat that anytime soon.

Thanks again for that :) I am very much enjoying riding it; whoever gets this one will not regret it.

I thought the price was realistic, given that someone else has to fork out for painting, but it's nice to see such interest in it, and it'll be going to someone on here, so gotta price it right. If I'd had it painted the price would be considerably more.

Sorry pal, missed your post earlier when I was sifting through.
Come on, you already have a Winston bike, let's spread the love around a little.
Hope you is well, how's your little human bean doing?

Yes @Cupcakes - absolute bargain that!
