Van Nicholas Mistral 54cm with Full Ultegra 6700
I bought this as F+F online and then built it up at Condor. The overall cost was £2400 I have the receipts as well. Here are the specs and geometry:
**
Frame:** Van Nich Mistral 54cm
Fork: Van Nich VNT elements Carbon with Carbon Steerer (http://vannicholas.com/componentsdetails.aspx?id=74)
Headset: FSA Orbit
BB: Ultegra 6700
**Drive-train including shifters and brake calipers and cassette: **Ultegra 6700
Cables: Gore Ride On Ultra low friction
Wheels: Ultegra 6700 hubs on Mavic Open Pro Silver rims; hand built at Condor
Seatpost: Condor Carbon
**Saddle: **Brooks B17
Handlebar and Stem: Deda aluminum
Pedals: Crank Bros Candy
The reasons for sale: I built this bike up in Oct 2010 then I was (sort of) deported back to India in November 2010 (while the bike was stored in my friend's room). I was in India till Aug 2011 and when I came back I used it for couple of months and built a fixed gear bike at Tokyo Fixed, since then I have not used it and hence can't justify to keep it. I also need money to fund a sub 125cc motorcycle (CBR or YZF 125?)
**
The condition of the bike:** This bike is my pride and joy. I have looked after it more than I have looked after myself ; ) I am really sad to let it go. Many forum members have helped me to source components on this as well (thanks Hippy for recommending Shimano over SRAM). This bike is my first 'project'. The bike is pristine as you can see in the photos. I have just put a new set of Swisstop (green) brake pads and serviced it at evans westend. It was ALWAYS stored indoors.

Please note the photos were taken just after I washed my bike, I just rode once after it on Christmas day for around 20 miles.

I am based in N4 (Manor House) if anyone wants to collect or view the bike. I'd rather not post. I will split only if I get individuals offers on F+F, Grouppo and the remaining stuff. If this gets sold at the asking price £20 goes to forum.
