Reluctantly selling my Fairlight Strael as I'm just not using it since I got a gravel bike and became a dad. Bought around 4 years ago and loved it. But I bought a gravel frame and switched everything over to do Badlands.
Around 2022 I had it checked over by Fairlight as I thought the paint was bubbling in once spot, but rather embarrassingly they worked out that it was a solidified lump of Gel and the paint was fine. They gave the frame a rub down and also gave it an internal coat of rust protector Dynax S50 to prevent surface rust in the frame. This model didn't always have it done as standard and I think surface rust in the seat tube was occasionally an issue.
About a year ago I rebuilt it with a brand new 105 R7020 11s groupset. New stem, seatpost and the pdw mudgauards that I had on it before. Sadly I'm just not riding it enough to justify keeping it. I'll be keeping the saddle as it's my saddle of choice that isn't manufactured any more.
Condition of the frame is used but good, a few scuffs and dull areas from saddle bag etc, but generally in good condition. I would like the buyer to see it in person to make sure they are happy as condition is very subjective. There is some paint bubbling on the rear brake caliper and the chain has slight surface rust as I didn't let it dry before putting it away on my last ride.
Looking for £1650 but let me know (nicely) if I'm way off. Collection and viewings in person in E10, just off Lea Bridge Road.
