Bought this frame around 10 years ago. I think it’s from 1998 when they were still being made by Sandvic. Someone here might know for sure.

It’s quite large, slightly trad geo compared to modern frames but it fits like a 57 imho. Has a lovely horizontal top tube as a consequence.

Seat tube 55 ctc / 59.5 ctt
Top tube 55 ctc
Head tube 14
Saddle height in pic is 80cm
For reference I’m 184cm

Full Dura-Ace 7900
Colombus Minimal fork with uncut steerer
Mavic Cosmic Pro Carbon Exalith currently w 28s fitting comfortably
3T stem Arx II 100mm
3T bars Ergonova Pro 40cm
3T carbon seatpost Dorico Team

The decals are coming away but easy to order replacement stickers.

A similar titanium GT sold on here recently for 2k. This has slightly less good finishing kit (3T vs. Thomson) but better group (Dura Ace vs. Ultegra) so I’ll start at the same price £2000 and if I’m in the wrong place I’m sure the hive mind will let me know.

Located in Bounds Green N22 if you want to throw a leg over

Nice, but I’ve not seen a rim brake bike go north of £1000 for months, no matter the spec

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
