For Sale: Jamis Sputnik 2011 55cm full bike

For sale is a 55cm square white Jamis Sputnik bike. I will be able to upload photos tomorrow (I hate it when people say this but since I’ve typed the advert I just want to get it on here).

I have had this bike from new, bought in Summer 2010. I have ridden it a fair bit since then, so there is the usual chips and scrapes to the paintwork.

No major dents or structural issues though and is still a good ride. I’m selling because since I’ve bought this bike I’ve fallen in love with cycling and really want to build my own bike (so anything you pay will go straight back to people selling parts on here!).

The frame is 55 cm square made from Reynolds 520 steel (supposedly as good as 531 but I don’t believe this). The majority of the bike is as I bought it (link to original spec here - http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/thebikes/road/fixies/11_sputnik_spec.html).

The parts I have changed are:
Stem and bars – bike now has the charge straight bars and a 25.4 stem (I can supply original bars and stem if you prefer).
Saddle for a charge spoon.
I changed the back cog for a Surly 17, then again for a BLB 18. You can have either of these with the bike. I also changed the chain for the Surly chain when I changed the cog over originally.
I changed the foot retention from cages to diagonal restraps.
Wheels run true and bike rides well.
EDIT: Also have added some gatorskins.

I would like £225 (including 10% to the forum). If this price is way off the mark let me know – this is the first bike I've sold on the forum (or anywhere in fact).
Any questions drop me a PM and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I don't have any way to post, so it would be collection from Brentwood, Essex, or somewhere near Liverpool St station. Thanks for reading!

Obligatory sorry for poor quality photos. I have tried to show the bike as realistically as possible, all marks scratches etc.

Any questions or more photo requests please feel free to ask.

Dibs. Couple of questions. PM sent.

what is your new frame Jack?

Haven't got one yet, waiting for the offers to roll in from this thread - http://www.lfgss.com/thread98014.html

(Hopefully!)
Then I reckon I will get some of the V Sprint wheels, and get parts here and there to fill the rest. It's not going to be a build of note to share with the forum, but I'm looking forward to it.

get the Soma! and get on this! otherwise you will be bike-less surely?

Bike now sold. Thank or the interest!

Pete, I sprained my ankle last week, so no riding (or dancing, or anything that fun) or me for a while. Will probably borrow a bike for a month or so, or cruise round on a sweet Barclays bike!
