Ok, so I finally got the pictures of this from my cousin (some are pretty random angles but I've put them all up anyway), giving this a little bump and a price drop to £475! Has to suit someone.
He's also told me that the frame is actually 61cm, and it's got a sticker which verifies that (don't know where I got 56/58 from, sorry about that!).
Basically, I was visiting my cousin earlier today and noticed that he had a beautiful SS up in his room. The guy recently completely shattered his collarbone by going head over heels after hitting a pothole on a Boris bike.
It's a crying shame but he bought this Seibring Cooper brand new from Evans a few months ago for £750, he's rode it MAX five times, and it's definitely not covered more than 100miles (and the day before he went off the Boris bike he got it serviced at Evans so it's literally as new).
I would love to have taken the bike from him but I don't feel like I could make a fair offer on it so said that I wouldn't mind listing it on here for him and seeing if anyone was interested as it's a shame to see it just sit there and gather dust, and he missed a month of commission centric work when he was in the hospital/rehabilitating so selling the bike might help him make a bit of that up too.
The bike is exactly as here: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/cooper/t100-sebring-2010-single-speed-road-bike-ec022428
but he switched the Brooks saddle for another one as he felt it wasn't comfy enough (I know, I know!) and has upgraded the tires to Michelin Pro-Race 3's which are as new too and cost nearly £40 a pair. Flip-flop hub so can ride fixed or ss.
I hadn't seen one of them before but it really is a nice bike, pretty light and everything is finished really well and it's clear its a high quality build.
I figured £500 was a fair price for the bike given the condition it's in. If anyone's interested let me know! He lives in St. Katherine's dock and should be available most evenings.
Hopefully someone can take this gorgeous bike and give it the use it deserves! Cheers guys.
