Sad to be offering this for sale but I need to free up some workshop space and funds for future projects.

This is a handmade (by me) fillet brazed frame with Columbus tubing, plate style yoke on the driveside chainstay, eccentric bb and belt splitter in the seatstay. The headtube is an integrated Campy style one, there are braze-ons aplenty. Fork is a nice Pacenti crown on some long Columbus disc blades which were a bit secret squirell when I got them but might be available to the public by now.

Size I'd describe as large, it's 48cm/19" c2c on the seattube and 57cm/22.5" c2c toptube. That seattube measurement sounds kinda short but there are another few inches to the top of the seatube and in the photos its set up for me at 6'2.

I can't remember what the angles are exactly but it'll be somewhere around 73deg for seat and headtubes angles I think. I'll measure them and report back.

BB drop is minimal though this can be tweaked by which way you run the ebb.

I'm happy to sell complete or as frame/fork. Or probably, anything in between so if you fancy some of the bits but not others we can work it out.

Current set up is a three speed Shimano rear hub, Shimano hydro brakes, Deore HT2 cranks with Gates CDX belt drivetrain. Deda seatpost and stem, the bars are from a Cube hybrid and have a nice shape with a bit of back sweep. SKS mudguards over 2" Vittoria tyres which are set up tubeless.

I also have:

A rear wheel with a Superstar hub and a belt pulley which fits this that could be used to go singlespeed (the frame has a hanger so derailleur gears could be fitted).

A dynamo front wheel. Think it's a jtek hub, maybe on a WTB rim or might be an Octane rim, nice and wide anyway, with snowflake non disc side lacing!

Great commuting bike, handles any sort of gravel you could throw at it, just isn't getting as much use as it should so it's got to go.

£750 as a full bike, £350 frame and fork, can talk about component/build options.
