For Sale: Sirius Micro Lo-Pro

I'm selling my Sirius Micro Lo-Pro after finally realising that riding so hard that I feel sick is not for me. Actually, I'm not the one who is selling it - my 15yo daughter is off to Peru in July to help at an orphanage near Cusco and is raising money for the trip. She doesn't want to ask for donations (apart from those I'm providing.....) so she is selling stuff to pay for the flights etc. She will also be running a pop-up food station for the Dunwich Dynamo, located in Gosbeck, Suffolk so if you're doing the ride look out for it. Ahywho, she caught me in a weak moment and presuaded me to donate the amount this bike raises to her trip fund, so as the LFGSS crew seem to like the weird lo-pros here it is. Asking £300 ono for it, can't post (don't want to really) but can meet at anywhere within about 50 miles of Ipswich. May be travelling further afield on business, ask and I may be able to meet somewhere.

Details of bike as follows;
Frame I'm told is by Sirius, it's a copy of the micro lo-pro ridden by Martin Pyne, time trial legend of the 1980s. Probably 531 or similar, takes a 27.2mm seatpost.
Size - top tube c to c is 51cm, seat tube is 50cm c to top but the geometry is so odd I'm not sure how this sizes up to conventional bikes.
Wheels - rear is a relatively normal Zipp 340 rim on a Mavic hub in reasonably good condition fitted with a Vittoria Corsa CX19 tub (I think this has a slow leak). The front is a 24 inch v section rim built onto a Hope hub. Apparantly this might have been made by Mick Madgett of Diss, he certainly remembers bulding an identical one. Fitted with 24inch Vittoria Comp Juniores tub. It's the tiny front wheel that gives it the low slung look.
Bars are Profile bullhorns with some no-name tri bars on top joined by a Flite Control connector that holds the single 7 speed Shimano 600 shift lever. Forgive the splash tape, I can change it to black if necessary.
Brake levers are Blackwell carbon reverse action jobs
VDO Computer included.
Chainset - Shimano 600 with single 52t ring fitted (there is no provision for a front mech as there is only one shifter boss on the downtube). No pedals but might be able to locate some at a pinch.
Rear mech - Shimano 600 Tricolour
Brakes - Shimano 600 Tricolour
Stem Nitto Dynamic 12
Seat post 27.2mm not sure who it's by.

PM for any further information needed.

Absolute bargain

Amazing bike, good luck with the sale, nice to know the funds are going to a worthy cause as well.
Love micro lopros....

I would have thought you could more for that peach!

If it was in east london, not ipswich it'd be a lot pricier i'm sure.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I have provisional dibs on this from Dandy, if this falls through I'll post again. BTW, the saddle is a Prologo Choice, forgot to add that to the post.

Looks like I'm going to have to be the purchaser of all Emily's bikes...

This deservers a BUMP back up top. She sounds like a real good kid to me.

Although I don't want to post this one I'm travelling from Ipswich to Solihull and back on Monday and from Ipswich to Gillingham and back on Thursday, so if anyone is interested and lives or can meet on route, delivery would be free. If you don't like it when you see it, no problem.

Got a similar frame and from what research I turned up it's probably 653 (mine is and I think the later ones were 731 or something). Looks lovely so have a bump!

I have a lovely and very rare 24" HED DEEP front wheel the buyer of this is welcome to purchase from me!
