Size: 57cm seat tube ctt, 55cm top tube ctc

Just finished building this up - took me a while but alas I can't afford to keep it. Everything straight and true, no dings etc, couple of small paint touch ups.

Frame:
Dedacciai Zero Tre micro alloyed steel, air hardened seamless joints VGC.

Components:
Wheels - campag chorus hubs on campag omega v rims, conti gatorskin tyres
Drive - 8 speed block, rear mech and bar ends all campag chorus, campag record front mech, Stronglight 107 chainset, campag bottom bracket
Brakes - campag chorus levers, shimano deore xt cantis generic blocks
Up front - 1A stem, giro d'Italia bars and tape - all cinelli, tange headset
Saddle / post - flite 1990 titanium saddle, campag post
Extra tyres & tubes - kenda kwicker 35c cyclocross, kenda tubes

The following parts are brand new / nos / never sat on etc:
saddle, brake lever hoods, inner and outer cables, headset, bottom bracket, cantis and pads, front mech, chainrings (inner chainring thrown in - see pics), pedals, chain

The lurvely white kendas have only been ridden down the street and back, gatorskins about 5 miles, rear block and cranks almost mint. The wheels whilst being straight and true, have cosmetic issues with the hubs - lost their shine and the rear has an ugly scar on it - does not affect performance however.

**Unridden in it's present state so gears need tuning.

[B]UPDATE **
I wanted to mention that the seatpost is a little tight, London fields cycles measured the frame aperture as 27.0, so I went out and got that size post, it fits ok but it is a little tight. The post I bought is a lovely vintage campag and barely used so if you did want to change for a 26.8 you would have little probs getting rid of this one.

Because of that and just 'cos I really need the money the price is now reduced to £SOLD

Viewing welcome! dibs and pm please[/B]

nice!

cheers Malaysian, wish I could keep her but needs must,

forgot to mention that the short top tube means it has quite an upright geometry compared to road bikes

£560 for a steel bike with 8 speed campag, I wish you luck.

Gabe, you'll be going for the 11 speed super record then?

Venom frames were built in Birmingham! Somebody bring it home! (but perhaps for a bit less).

nice one n3il, I'm up for offers, just to say I'm making a loss on this bike, the money reflects the new drive saddle etc. means the bike will ride like new - cheers

super bike, absolutely gorgeous... wrong size though :(

cheers swingsblues,

FreeBornAde you seem to know more than me

price reduction £480 - practically giving it away!

I love this frame........did you get it from that auction site about 6 months ago? I only ask as I was outbid on one very similar..........

Aye that was the one, was looking for a steel cx frame for ages when this one came up, it's taken til about now to find the parts and build it up, but unfortunately now it's gotta go. Raise your hand if you've done something similar...

I ended up with a paul milnes steel cross frame..... Not as nice as the venom tho, ya bugger!!

I remember seeing those Paul Milnes, there were a few different ones on at the same time weren't there, some were pretty nice...

Another Venom price drop - now £470 - escape the Royal wedding in style!

Or (catering for all crowds) turn up to the royal wedding in style!

now £460 - comon cx fans!

Why not be a bit more patient? sometimes takes days for the right buyer to come along...

yeah you're right, unfortunately though, having slight financial meltdown at the mo..

It's a nice bike..... Hold out a bit if you can.
I did get one of those..... It's tange and a bit heavier than yours, but I think if it as momentum!!
