For sale is my nice and lightweight "sky blue" Nelson branded, Kinesis 56cm carbon fibre frame set.
These retail at £358 new.
I'm asking £200 Collected from Manchester or £215 posted.
I'm sure you'll let me know if my price is way off.
The frameset comes complete with...
Frame
Forks with 224mm of steerer
Replaceable gear hanger
Seatclamp
Cane Creek ZS2 semi-integrated headset
Downtube bosses for sti's
Unique hydroformed yolk where the seat stays meet the seatpost.
Horizontal toptube (standard style frame, not compact)
Aluminium seat tube. Carbon fibre top tube, down tube, seatstays, and chainstays.
Wishbone seatstays
Weird shaped downtube and ovalised top tube
Headset top cap not included (I never received one)
It has a couple of tiny paint chips on the headtube and forks as you can see and a couple of marks in the laquer on the seat and chain stays but nothing major.
See below for pics, sorry... the flash makes the frame look dusty and scruffy, it's really nice in the flesh...
I bought this frame second hand to replace my current steel frame, but unfortunately it's too small for me.
Cyclebasket which is the sales website for Nelson branded frames shows this to be a 56cm frame.
They base the size on the seat tube height measured from the centre of the BB to the TOP of seat tube (which pokes up quite high), and not centre to centre as most horizontal top tube frames are measured!!
This frame, when measured from the centre of the BB to the centre of the top tube is 51cm so it's way too small for me.
Here's a picture of the sizing from the website to this listing, but there's also a link to it below.
Please make sure to measure yourself and this frame to make sure that it is suitable for you.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
