OK, 1 year old First Edition Cooper T100 Monza. See pics and blurb below. £300.
Come have a look and a test ride...
Metallic blue (photo's don't do it justice) single speed / fixed wheel bike. Only a year old and the same bike is selling for £650 in Evans now.
Really good condition. The only marks are the small chips to the paint from carrying a lock and some surface rust on some of the bolts.
Everything works perfectly, the bottom bracket, headset and wheel bearings roll perfectly smoothly with no play. The tyres have loads of life left and hold pressure perfectly. The chain is not stretched and the wheels are true.
Cooper Bikes only started in the bike business in 2010 but the Cooper name is well known from the world of motor sport most notably because of the iconic Mini Cooper. This bike is from their first edition.
The frame is made of Reynolds 520 butted steel with matching straight blade steel forks. This gives a light, fast, smooth ride.
BikeRadar gave it a rave review - 4.5 stars out of 5.
The frame is 57cm which fits me (5' 11") perfectly with the saddle at the height shown in the photos. Obviously the saddle can be lowered or raised to suit. Also the stem can be flipped.
I've only ridden the bike single speed with both brakes. The back wheel has a flip flop hub and comes with a 16 tooth fixed cog as well as the 16 tooth free wheel. Obviously the brakes can be removed if that's the way you roll.
If you have any questions, want to see any more pictures or arrange a test ride then please get in touch.
