• I'm still having a clear out to raise funds for a good road bike so this time around, my Charge Plug Racer, medium, silver galvanized colour is for sale.

    I bought this new in May 2011 (I have the receipt) then changed pretty much everything on it (only frame & headset are original). I've only use it to cycle to and from work and never locked it / left it outside so it is in excellent condition - see the pics - no dents or scrapes.

    Frame size is medium, which corresponds to 54.5cm top tube and 59cm seat tube. The current set up is for me at 5ft10.5 - I would say that it'll fit someone 5ft8 to 6ft.

    Here are the built details:

    • Tange plain gauge frame, galvanized (so no rust), horizontal dropouts;
    • FSA Headset;
    • Boardman Carbon Pro forks (full carbon);
    • Shimano Tiagra front brake caliper with recent pads;
    • Dia-Compe Dirt Harry right brake lever (black/black);
    • 2 sets of handlebars - 90mm Giant stem with risers & Sunline Mushroom grips + PZ 90mm stem with 42cm drops with new black bar tape and Cinelli gel pads;
    • Front wheel: Varno built - 700c clincher, White 40mm Weinmann Pegasus rim, Black Formula hub, Schwalbe Blizzard tyre;
    • Rear wheel: Aerospoke 700c clincher, originally pink then coated matt black, Continental HardShell tyre, Miche 16T sprocket (3/32), KMC S1 Chain (1/8);
    • SRAM S300 GXP crankset with external BB, 172.5mm, 110BCD, used for less than 100 miles (so far) http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=31618
    • RaceFace 44T chainring (3/32) & chainring bolts - was used on another project before so looks a more tired.
    • Alloy pedals;
    • Ritchey WCS 'Wet Black' 27.2mm seatpost; and
    • Fizik Arione Kium rails (a bit of road rash on one side - I had it since '09).
      As you can see, it's a pretty good built with loads of nice parts - it rides really well, so feel free to come and see it and take it for a spin.

    I'll take to bike to work this week so you can come and see it at Chancery Lane and ride it home.

    £SOLD takes it home complete

    Cheers

  • Just out of interest, what's the name of those sunn grips?

  • Hey dude,

    I live in Smithfields so super close to your work. Would be really interested in coming and having a look. I can't PM you yet as I'm super new to the forums.

    But here's my digits, 0787 202 4214. Drop me a line and hopefully I can come and take a look.

  • Also interested in the rear and saddle/post if it ends up being split.

  • Mega dibs on the aerospoke if you split!

  • 2012 is the year of the Aerospoke!

    I remember when it was shameful to own one...

    The bike is priced to sell, it has loads of good parts (tastefully?) put together so hopefully I will not have to split.

    A new rear 'Spok is £300 on its own, the Arione is £90 so that alone pretty much covers the asking price.

    Thanks for your interest, I'll keep you posted

    Stanley came to see the bike, said he'll take it if I was holding it until payday then text me today to say his 'bonus' wasn't as big as he thought he would it and pulled out - classic newbie move - he even sent me a text saying "Whatever dude, I'm not going to loose any sleep over it". Poor show and poor grammar.

    [Cool story bro ^]

    Bike is back on the market!

  • Apologised profusely and offered to try and help in any other way to get it sold. Not really sure of any other way to pull out. Next time I just won't answer the phone.

    Love Newbie

    Try genuine honesty, directness and a certain respect for peeps trying to sell stuff. Huge neg for even attempting to not answer a phone regarding a sale. Bad crack Newbie, you have much to learn.

  • The bike is still available - I can do a £380 deal for the bike fitted with the drops only and no front brake lever/caliper.

    Cheers

    Vince

  • If this is still available I'll take it! Not sure if I can PM yet, think I might still be in the nursery...
