SOLD: Kinesis Aithein rim 54 f+f alu/full carbon fork

Here’s the road bike that I bough mid/late last summer which I’ve racked up a grand total of 581kms on since.

Sexy ad quotes from Kinesis:

The Kinesis Aithein is a fast paced British designed racing machine.

Stout and stiff Tapered Headtube with Matching tuned full carbon fork.

The Kinesis Aithein is ready to ride fast and take on your local Crit league

Specs:

• 54cm Aluminium frame and full carbon fork
  
• BB86
  
• 31.6mm seat post
  
• 34.9 seat clamp
  
• F+F weigh roughly 1500g
  
  

I also stripped the “racelight” logo/branding that comes on the lower down tube on these bikes because I thought it was kinda ugly. This was super easy to do with a quick nail polish remover wipe as the branding wasn’t lacquered over or anything like that. It came off super easy, no scrubbing or damage to the frame. I think it looks a lot more clean without the graphic.

The good:

• rim brakes
  
• looks sick
  
• mega light (to me anyway)
  
• stiff
  
• big hh potential
  
• demonstrates taste and sophistication in the face of vulgar aero MAMIL chariots
  
  

The bad:

• rim brakes
  
• Probably wouldn’t clear much more than a 28 though I’ve never actually tried

https://www.lfgss.com/profiles/86519/ a wanted ad here for a ultegra groupset.

I'd take the groupset at that price!

Still keen on wheels - will PM first thing (am currently out camping)

Edit: also keen on bars and stem maybe

@mattyc is first on wheels

@calumxbrookes currently first on group

If either haven’t confirmed by end of Monday I’ll go to the next

P.s. someone buy the frame :)

This is rad. Would love this if I had the cash spare

Not wanting to stop anyone getting a bargain but I'd have thought parted out it would cost more than the whole bike? Given the labour required to disassemble, as you say.

Not often someone gets encouraged to increase the asking price on here 😅😅

Did I miss something?

im too nice for my own good 😇

and I don’t want to have random bike bits around for weeks so I’ve maintained the ‘priced to sell’ approach that I used to price the whole bike in the first place.

Though if anyone wants the whole thing pls buy it and save me the time 🫡

Haha you're a better man than I!
GLWS, bargain.

PM’d

Dibs on saddle

Sorry I should have mentioned, wheels dibs’er @mattyc is tentatively interested in saddle and bars but haven’t heard back. Which is my fault, took me ages to make the time to take this apart, I only did so last night…

You’d be 2nd

I assume the wheels have a long queue, but I'd be interested and could collect from HH

reduction to £140 for the f+f

Drop to £130

Really interested- PM incoming
