Testing the water here.
I built this up about 8 years ago, rode it for a couple of lush summer rides and centuries etc but then I had kids and didn't get out so much.
Did a bit of commuting on it when the weather was good and I could take it inside the office.
Apart from that it has been criminally underused.
Then it sat in my office and was used as a Wahoo/Zwift rig through the pandemic.
It's all pitlocked and hexlocked for that London commuting flex.
It's in excellent condition.
No dints or dings, never crashed or pranged, regularly washed and lubed.
Next to no wear and tear.
I have just moved out of London to near the South Downs and am fixing for something more gravel-y so I can manage the shitty road surface and make the most of the paths and what not.
Full spec below.

Bike is near Lewes, but I commute into London Bridge once a week or so so could meet central.
