For Sale: Byercycles Aravis Audax 52cm bike - Campag Centaur 10sp Triple - now £600

I'm not using this enough to justify keeping it, so I may as well sell it so that it can be ridden.

£600 (collection) or make me a sensible offer (it's not bad given a brand new Centaur Groupset is more than £500!).

Aravis Audax 52cm (Centre-to-Centre) bike in beautiful Flamboyant Red. Reynolds 631 tubing.

Big photo: http://www.greenbank.org/misc/aravis_sale/IMG_4215.JPG

Suits me at 5'9" with a 30" inside leg.

Purchased (by me) from Byercycles in October 2006 but with a few bits changed over the years. I still have all of the original receipts.

Good condition, a few nicks and scratches on the frame (take a close look at the photos) but otherwise good. Happy to provide more photos upon request.

Paintwork still looks lovely glinting in the sun.

It's probably done ~3500km in the 7 years I've had it. Mostly Audaxing (including being lent to Panoramix to do LEL in 2009!). Wheels have done a bit less than 3500km as I used a SON front wheel at times, and a PowerTap rear wheel.

Carbon Forks (probably the Tifosi ones as that's what Byers sell)
SKS Race Narrow Mudguards (no mudflaps)
Campag Centuar triple chainset (53x42x30) with 170mm cranks
Campag Centaur front mech
Chorus long cage rear mech
Centaur alloy ergos
Shimano A550 Deep Drop brakes
Cane Creek S2 headset
Cinelli Vai bars
3ttt THE Stem (10cm).
13-29 10sp Centaur rear cassette (giving a 30x29 lowest gear, ideal for very hilly rides)
BBB micro adjusting seatpost
No saddle (pictured saddle to be sold separately probably as I don't get on with it, just put it on to stop it looking odd)
Wheels are hand built by Dick Byers (of Byercycles). Mavic Open Pros and Centaur hubs. Panaracer Pasella 25mm tyres (tyres in ok but not great condition).
Tortec Ultralight rack (with some free spare spokes taped to it!)
Cheapo Tortec bottle cage
Extra long fork crown bolt (makes mounting a fork crown mounted light easy). It had an IQ Fly mounted on there before I sorted it all out.
Shimano A520 pedals are a bit rusty but they work fine.

So, to be clear:-

Rear light will probably be removed (it's broken).
Missing the bar plugs, but they're only a couple of quid to shove in new ones.
Saddle not included (Selle Italia SLK in white, bit grubby, would accept £30 for it probably).

Collection from SW15 or arrange meet up somewhere served by a train. Open to discussion.

Also listed on Cyclechat and YACF.

Does the 52 measurement refer to the seat tube? Could you give a top tube measurement? Would it be able to accommodate 28c tyres?

I'm sorely tempted but I think it'll be too long for me. :/

Hi GB

Have a bump and a heads up, you're likely to get a bit of grief for listing in more than one place. See the classifieds rules. Cheers.

Nice practical bike :) glws

It's one of these frames:-

http://www.byercycles.co.uk/Bikes/002-Aravis.steel.audax.touring.frames.html

So it's a "large" (52cm is centre of bb to centre of top tube; they provide centre-to-top instead) so "[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Centre of seat tube to centre of head tube" is 54.6cm.

[SIZE=2]It will take 2[SIZE=2]8mm tyres. I usually use 25mm[SIZE=2] for Audaxing.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]
