For Sale: Peugeot Competition 500 Bike

I bought this for myself but a surprise bill means bye-bye to the bike. I was just taking her apart to sell as parts to get the most money but it makes me sad. So somebody want to save her from stripping and ebaying?

22" (56cm) Centre to Centre
Columbus Thron Tubing (The Reynolds 531 equivalent.) in a really lovely deep and dark purple.
Full Shimano RSX Groupset (apparently the best version from my reading up.)
Lovely anthracite coloured Mavic rims
Allot bars and stem
Allot Aero Seat post
Miche Headset
Time Atac Alium Pedals
Gumwall tyres that have seen better days

Rides really nicely. Only got to ride her twice,the first time was from Euston along marlybone road at rush hour with the seat too low, tyres too flat and normal shoes slipping off the pedals (I don't own time atacs). That wasn't pleasant, especially pentonville road hill. But a second go with different pedals showed a nice responsive bike and a comfy ride. Was really looking forward to some long summer rides.

Same as this (Except for the pedals, wheels and chainrings.)

Please give it a good home £150
In london for pickup or would consider posting for cost.

did you put it back together yet?
i would be interested in the groupset if you would be willing to post.

Nice,
I'd snap it up if it were a few cm smaller.

She's forlornly looking at me from across the room begging to be put back together. Nothing is permenant yet except for the cable ends so it can still go either way.

I will post if I do decide to put her down.

Yikes I didn't give a size. She's 22" (56cm) C-C. Updated listing.

It works. Read my first post with that as the background and get ready to fight back the tears.

There better be a happy bloody ending or it's going to be one of the worst Our Tune's ever.

is this still for sale?

I've held this bike for a couple of weeks with a promise of it being picked up but it hasn't been. So if someone can come get it this weekend (it is a long one) can have it for £135 so I don't get in any more trouble for it taking up cupboard space.

Thron's more of a 501 equivalent I thought.

(apparently the best version from my reading up.)

you mean reading upside-down?

Doh. Not of shimano STI's! The best year for RSX STI's.

Ahhh an argument I've seen before after reading dozens of pages ofdiscussion. The general consensus was it's closer to 531 and was marketed by columbus as their alternative.
