For Sale: Small 20" 853 Steel Edison Cycles Road Bike - Daytona Group

20" Edison Cycles Reynolds 853 Frame - Built with Campagnolo Daytona 18-speed

Hiya guys

I'm off to Uni next Saturday so I'm unfortunately having to downgrade:(
The fear of taking this up with me and locking outside has forced me into buying a cheap beater. Sooooo I'm in need of someone taking this off me before next weekend. I'm in north-Bristol so if you want to view it drop me a line and we can arrange something.
I'd prefer cash on collection but am willing to order a courier to collect. If this is the case, the bike will be packaged with lots of protection and will arrive in the same condition as when it left me.

Background info:
I built this up at the start of the year didn't properly ride it until the summer. It's only been used for short rides, has done limited time on rollers and done some runs around town. It's a great little bike which looks nice and performs well. It could be used as a winter trainer or would be great for a beginner. It's built with Campagnolo Daytona (old-Centaur) 18 speed and Campagnolo Centaur hubs (2007) on Mavic open pro rims. ITM Millennium post, bars and stem with Selle Flite Titanium Saddle.

The frame was bought off a Chap up in Sheffield who said it was built with Reynolds 853 tubing , I was a bit dubious because there wasn't a sticker (this is due to being 're-proofed' and repainted back in 2008.) but it was confirmed to be 853 by Chris at Edison Cycles. I don't know if all the tubes are 853 but I'm guessing they are as it's a very lightweight frame set.
Being built with high quality steel tubing you can expect it to be stiff and responsive. I've found it to be a very nimble ride.

(Nowadays It's hard to come by an 853 lugged frame with nice skinny (non-OS) tubing. )

Frame details:

• The frame was built by Edison Cycles up in Clowne, Chesterfield.
  
• The custom built frame has Reynolds 853 tubing and Fancy Cinelli lugs (believed to be the same used on supercorsas)
  
• Unknown Bottom Bracket Shell (any idea people?)
  
• No down tube braze-ons. Only STI compatible. Cable guides off head tube.
  
• Seat tube clamp-on di: 28.6mm for 27.2mm Seatpost.
  
• Tecnociclo Dropouts
  
  
  

*Geo: *

• Seat tube (centre to centre): 20"
  
• Seat tube (centre to top): 20.5"
  
• Top tube: 21"
  
• Head tube: 10 1/4"
  
• Wheelbase: 39.5"
  
• Fork rake: TBC
  
  
  

(I'm 170cm and it was perfect. I imagine there will be some leeway around this height. I'd give a conservative height range estimate of 5'6 - 5'8.)

*Specs: *

• Stem has a reach of 100mm
  
• Bars are 40cm wide (c-c)
  
• size
  
• Although the group is 18 speed, the rear mech is actually 10 speed and so is the front (which is Veloce)., but these are fine working in this set-up.
  
• Cassette is 13/27 and the chainring are the standard 39/53
  
• Cranks are 170mm
  
• 1" threaded fork with Ahead adapted
  
  
  

*Condition: *
The bike is in full working order. There are no dents to the frame set.
All the gears shift well and parts have loads of life left.
The frame has a fair amount of paint chips and scuffs. Some were 'touched up' by previous owner. Overall paint is reasonable.

Daytona gruppo is good: Shifters still work really well, cassette and chainrings' teeth are in good shape, Record C9 chain has around 250miles so in excellent shape, brake blocks have wear left in them, braking strips of rims are perfectly flat and have many miles left in them, wheels still run true and spin well.

A few points to note:
-The brake cabling has been done in the continental manner. I will provide some used (and still perfectly usable) campag cables and housing if you want to change to the traditional way.
-Bike was put together by an amateur (myself) I've found it fine but it might need some fine tuning.
-Recently whilst running on the upper chainring there's been a slight sound of rubbing which I think is down to the rear mech's alignment. This is an easy fix for someone good with bikes. I've tried myself but, without a stand to aid me, I didn't have the patience… It runs perfectly in lower ring, so I've only been using that since problem occurred.
-Oh and the pedals are not included.
