For Sale: 14 Bike Co. ESB- Amazing Spec

When did Goldtec start making left hand drive hubs?
quoted for next generations

14 Co are shifting a new frame such as yours for around £500, new.

I really don't see another £900 of kit on the bike above.

Please, pretty please, convince me otherwise or kindly leave the building.

I love these sort of threads :-)

as i said, you're wrong. shop 14 are selling tig welded ESBs for good prices. fillet brazed ESBs cost a considerable amount more.

may as well buy two p-fix's

and have two quite average in comparison 26inch specific otp bikes? no thanks.

Second the fillet brazing comment, it took skillz to braze this. How old is this?

And why joke around dibsing things you're not going to actually purchase? It's just pointless.

Hipster tax rears its ugly head again,if it hasnt got a inverse shim fitted to that reversed bottom bracket this bikes a deathtrap

Just a suggestion, possibly put more detail into the Spec. I know if I was serious about spending £1400 on this bike I would want to know every detail. For example, I may be wrong, but it looks like you have a Gusset seatpost?Not an Odyssey one. And I am definitely curious to know what inverse shim you are using and which stickers you have plastered onto the forks. And maybe some more detailed pictures. Especially of the LHD set-up.

Just trying to help you get a sale. Looks like it's already got plenty of attention.

there is no such thing as an inverse shim, just pisstakers doing their job. the seatpost is made by macneil. to the OP- get some more pictures of the paint and parts, give a better description.

Good thinking Kerval that inverse shim on the reversed bottom bracket is essential

Reversed bottom bracket is essential for the left hand drive set up. Now for the OP to enlighten us on the specs...

That's a typo right, £140.00 you say. Bargainous! HF?

"incredible"

Thread of the day.

Lol!

I beg to differ! What is that thing attaching my 1inch cinelli integralters to my 1 1/8th steerer?

lol im selling my fillet brazed esb for £350 frame and fork

I love these sort of threads :-)

i am sure they are wind ups
every so often a troll comes along and get this kind of response ^
i'm sure the op isn't being serious

just out of interest has any one added up the value of the parts attached to the bike ? there aren't a huge amount of them so it shouldn't be tough
give op an idea of where he should be marketing his bike

Quick estimate on named parts brings a figure of £850.00

Which type of Goldtec Hub? That'll affect the price a little. Seat Post, again, anything from £24.00 to £45.00 based on pricing and best guess from the above pic.

Filet Brazed ESB frame as mentioned comes around £550.00 to £440.00 in a quick search.

In reality, someone could self build a similar spec for around £850 with some savvy searches, so based on that a figure of around £600.00 is more realistic

That's based on quick searches. As people have said, splitting may generate more dollar, but the price above seems a bit steep based on the modest spec detail above.

NB - If I was pitching for £1400.00 for a full build, I'd put a lot more detail in tbh. Just saying.

1400? thats hilarious. you'd be lucky to get half that.

filet brased? WOW

filet brased?

Not as good as braised fillet

Serious question: Please can you explain all of this... I can see the english words, but dont actually understand the meaning.

Isn't that the case for you with anything that does not come with pictures?

If you dont ask, you never get. And right now, I want pictures.

Braising primary cuts??

Needs fat... according to masterchef last night.
