Morning kids,
Just seeing if there's any interest in picking up my 'metallic' (actually just sparkly) orange Piovra. About a year and a half old, used pretty much every day so the usual bumps and scrapes to the paintwork, but it's an absolutely solid workhorse and has never let me down. Plus it has a sweet Cthulu on the head tube, which will get you laid by goth chicks.
Parts list is pretty generic, but there's a Nitto pearl stem, a Dura-Ace (or equivalently badass) brake caliper, and a black Gran Compe lever (the two sided ones). Wheelset is mismatched, velocity deep v laced to BLB hubs on the back and Halo on the front. Cranks are Pista Vera, drops are BLB steel versions of the Nittos. Not much else of note.
Never crashed, never abused. Can supply with black Anatomica saddle or white BLB for maximum Finding Nemo points. Will also consider swapping for a nice (and RELIABLE) retro road bike. Some pics:

Collection from Stoke Newington or SE1 preferred. Have at it!
