Lovely bike!
I'm based in Fenham and have been after a Newcastle bike for a while now, been outbid on a couple of M. Steels on the old ebay, so no luck yet. Unfortunately that bike is too big for me too, but good luck with the sell, i'm sure someone will take pride in owning that.

Thanks, bud. You're bang-on, it's certainly a bike to be proud of. I wouldn't be surprised if someone bought it just to hang on the wall in their living room! ;) Would be a damn shame though, 'cos it rides an absolute treat. Good luck with your search.

whey shu's canny man!

Everyone who's seen it seems to think so ;)

Oh, and I've been asked for more dimensions, so here they are:
Seat-tube c-t 59cm
Top-tube c-c 57cm
Head-tube 16cm

In answer to questions, the bike is in Cramlington, 10 miles from Newcastle and yes I will post if required.

very nice, the tyres look wicked. what are they?

Tyres are Michelin Axial Sport

Nice bike if I wasn't so poor i'd be able to help keep it in Newcastle. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks!!

Hello,

I'm interested. I live in Central London, can you let me know how much to post so I can work out if I can afford it?

I used to work in dentons, based between london and fenham as well! Way too big for me, but looking for a denton or m steel too.

Also, they did used to be built by mercian, so it'll be a good build!

Hi there. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. There seem to be plenty of courier firms and cycle delivery firms who quote 20 bucks or so. If you can find a cheaper courier, then feel free. You wouldn't wanna miss out on a bike you like for the sake of 20 quid! Make me an offer if you're interested. Good luck.

To be honest it might be a bit small for me. It's a hard one to call seen as it's the other end of the country but I do like it. How about £200? I'm off on a stag do today so won't be online till tomorrow afternoon. Let me know.

Cheers

Just re-measured the frame and it's nearer 60cm c-t on the seat-tube and the 3ttt barstem is a 110mm. So it's got a fair old reach. Also the seatpost can be raised a fair way.

I can appreciate your nervousness, not being able to see the bike in the flesh and even have a test ride. Buying a bike at a distance is always a bit of a gamble isn't it?

If you are still interested, let me know when you're back online.

Yeah I'm still interested. £200 what do you say?
