Thanks!
Mostly self indulgent bike photos are all I can find (this could be you) - will try to get paint closeups in a few days - not that it matters much as it'll look like the photos here and the purple will be the envy of your mates

I mean those photos are doing a great job of selling it!
Probably not in a position to buy right now, but out of interest how tall are you?

The less glamorous pics
Although I realised I didn't list/factor into the price more specs I added:
Force 165mm Cranks
Hexlox security axle/skewers
New quick links for more spares
Wheel is dished slightly toward the NDS to increase clearance for 43mm rear tire - no perceivable effects on handling
On that, I'll throw in my other Hope Pro 4 XDR rear wheel and extra tire for £150Currently weighs 9.2kg but with Quadlock mounts, tubes, plastic pedals and random saddle - so definitely a 8.x kg build!

Price drop to £1100
or £1200 but including the hope wheel
If this doesn't sell by the new year I'll keep this -

Back in London - final bump before keeping - £50 off
-
• #11
Bump - work fell through a second time so a final (final) drop to £1000
Has been some interest so hopefully I've not been off the mark the whole time -
• #12
Bump, new deadline to sell before keeping is April as I ended up stuck in London
Might even throw in a Revelate Spinelock as per pics if it goes for full price.. -

Hey! Would you be interested to send it to Stockholm (Sweden)?
My well used Trek Crockett 52cm 2017,
Originally a mechanical brake, 11 speed , 50t by 11-36 CX bike that I used for weaving through London traffic - this has been a super lightweight and utilitarian platform that went from commutes to being dragged around the world on different adventures on and off-road
To be honest sad to see part of my cycling history go, especially as it hit the sweet spot of functionality but affordable enough to lock up around town or pack into a bus for said adventures - but need to fund other trips whilst work is stuck pending
Its final incarnation is now with:
Additional specs
165mm Force Crankset
Hope PF41 Bottom Bracket
Thomson Masterpiece layback post
Deda ZeroNero 100mm Carbon stem
Novatec-Hydra 700c wheelset - Tubeless taped (tubes in at present) with Gravelkings/rotors included
Beater saddle, tape, pedals and 40cm Bontrager bars
Security skewers supplied
Main flaws - mostly aesthetic
Paint chips and marks throughout frameset, shifters, mech and cranks
Filed and smoothed the L brake hood after an abrasion
Dremel marks to the front axle after a previously seized axle that has now been replaced
Rear mudguard stay use to spin, now bonded with Aruldite
On the old cassette, shifting slightly hesitant on the top 2 gears - to be resolved with fresh Garbaruk stuff
Ratty bar tape, to be swapped to your preference
Pics are in bikepacking mode - sold without most bags and TT bars, some temporary plastic pedals will be included
(£1200) now £1000 will hopefully count for 'used' prices for all the parts, despite the new bits, with all of the labour that's gone into this comped in, though give a shout if I'm off
Welcome to have a look around London until the end of November, and could drop off to you, otherwise beyond that pickup from SE26
