Hi, I bought this frame earlier in the year from Zieleman, and then bought all the other parts and built it up myself. I did a few hundred miles on it, and am selling it due to lack of funds.

The Bat Pro is such a lovely frame! Someone please buy it and save it from it's current set up. Think you may need to reduce the price a bit though...

Tel, true the current set-up is basic spec but more than does the job. Do the math on a new wheel build set up and you'll see this is good value overall.

Bump.

OK, the price is now £300 - I can't say fairer than that, Rodney!
