• Heya, looking to sell / swap this build from last year. It's a versatile and reliable commuter / overnighter / weekend bike-packing / do anything bike loosely based on that Stridsland rock lobster build .

    Build includes:

    • Alum GT Tempest 1997 frame sz M (I thiiink it's 18", will double check). I'm around 6.1" and ride this comfortably
    • Ambrosio Ontario 26" rimbrake wheelset in black, laced to Shimano LX w black sapim spokes & running Vittoria Booze Light's with a tonne of wear left. Handbuilt by Lewisham Cyclery last year from NOS parts. true and bombproof, never crashed. Rear has SRAM PG-950 cassette.
    • Kona Project II straight blade fork, also NOS at the time of build
    • White Industries 175mm classic MTB cranks, 94BCD
    • Nukeproof Neutron EVO flat pedals, nylon composite
    • Stridsland Journal 36T purple chainring (also have this chainring in blue; mint and unmounted, that I'll include in sale) + Stridsland self-extracting crank bolts in pink
    • SRAM XO-9 9-speed rear derailleur and shifter
    • Purple Hope 1/1'8 headset and matching seatpost collar
    • Avid 20 rimbrakes and Avid levers
    • Surly Sunrise bars that I stripped but never got round to clear-coating, so a nice patina has built up but could be de-rusted and sprayed if you prefer a clean look.
    • Pelago Commuter front rack, one of the best on the market
    • ESI XL chunky grips
    • FSA seatpost
    • Nitto bar ends
    • Halo hex key skewers

    The bike is in great condition but could use brake/gear cable replacement and the derailleur needs reindexing. It's a great autumn/winter bike I'm just looking to replace it for something more practical.

    I'll probably hang onto the saddle but everything else in the build is yours on purchase. Spent a fair amount of money putting all this together so looking for 650 ONO or will consider swapping for the right mid-spec gravel/commuter in 56/58cm. no splitting.

    Pickup from Sydenham SE26 or I can meet you anywhere on S>E overground, no postage sorryy
