Hello All,
I'm putting my beloved Argos Lo-Pro up for sale, I bought it and built it up to try and connect with my inner roadie but it wasn't to be.
The frame is a Bristol-built Argos, built some time in the late '90s from double-butted high-grade steel. 24" seat tube, 700c front and rear, clearance for up to 23s or skinny 25s, Allen key brake drillings, semi-vertical dropouts with screw adjusters, braze-ons for DT shifters or stops and front and rear derailleur hangers, stunningly executed top-tube internal cable routing and plenty of gratuitous tasty lugwork (brake bridge, front mech plate etc.).
The fillet-brazing and paintwork is gorgeous as one would expect from Argos, paint condition is 8/10 with some small scratches and very slight surface rust around bare areas (BB face, brake drillings etc.) as expected of a used racing frame.
The original Argos forks have a 1" threaded steerer and the frame comes with a silky-smooooth Campagnolo Athena headset. The frame takes a 27.2mm seatpin, the bottom bracket is British threaded and all the frame's threads are perfect.
The frame is in Bath and photos are available here:

I'm asking £200.
Get some constant downhill in your life!!
Ta,
Ben
