I need to consolidate my selection of bikes and have two frames to move on.
All frames are located in central Beckenham.
First up is a Pretorius Outeniqua disc frame in size M/L. I bought this off of @fredtc four years ago (sale thread here) and used it as a winter/wet weather bike. With mudguards, I could only run 25c tyres and I wanted something with more clearance for Kentish lanes so this is now surplus to requirements.
The geometry is available here. I'm 1m 83 cm tall and this was okay for me, possibly a little small.
It's a really nice frame to ride, with the smoothness of titanium, but also able to be ridden fast when required. Condition is excellent with no scuffs or damage to the frame itself. It comes with a Kinesis Tracer fork (an upgrade I did after buying it) and a Chris King headset. I can also provide a pair of PDW mudguards that will slot straight on if desired, for an extra £40.

£500SOLDSecondly, a Colnago V3RS in size 52 sloping. I bought this at the start of the year when it was discounted as I wanted a new road frame and I liked the colour scheme, but realistically it is a size too small for me, and I should've resisted my impulses and bought the right size.
This is an out and out race bike, ridden to many race wins, including two Tour de France wins.
Geometry is available here.
The frame comes with a headset, top cap and spacers, a matching seat post and I can include the tool I bought for the proprietary bottom bracket Colnago used on this frame (which is essentially a mash up of press fit and threaded).
The condition is as new, the frame was partially built up before I realised that it was going to be slightly too small for me. There is one, minor chip on the rear right hand seat stay.
If desired, I can include a 100 mm Colnago SR9 stem, and a pair of Colnago R41 carbon handlebars in size 42 for an additional sum.
