  • Sold!

    Nice simple and unfussy build. Spec as follows:

    Frame - Raleigh 531c, debrazed and powdercoated in a light battleship type grey. Measures: seat tube 57cm ctt, top tube 56cm ctc.
    Wheels - Miche Supremacy (fixed /free). Black hubs/rims, silver spokes. Semi deep V profile. Gatorskins 700x23.
    Cog - Condor branded 16t 1/8.
    Cranks - Sugino RDs, 170mm. Sugino Messenger 42t 1/8 chainring.
    Chain - KMC 1/8th, newly fitted.
    BB - Sugino, 68x103. Little use.
    Headset - tange, newly fitted.
    Brake lever - RH Dirty Harry - newly fitted.
    Brake caliper - Tektro
    Saddle - Wingflex Pave HP, newly fitted.
    Seatpost - Condor, 27.2mm.
    Stem - 3ttt, 90mm. pretty scratched on top.
    Bars - Fuji track, 25.4mm clamp, 420mm wide.
    Tape - Fizik, newly applied.

    Downsides, not many. I've fudged the driveside crank removal in the past and damaged the first 1 or 2 threads. Not a problem to remove the cranks, just requires a little finesse. The powdercoater left a spot of the old paint on the underside of the top tube and powdercoated over. About a third the size of a 5 pence piece. Convieniently its exactly where I needed the top tube protector to be!

    A nice subtle build with new and old components. The stem and cranks show the teethmarks of use, though only superficial. The drivetrain is effectively new.

    I've estimated the build to have cost c.£330, using actual prices paid and estimated values for bits already in my possession.

    As such, offers over £300 would be grand.
