Hi everyone!
I am selling my Vigorelli frame! It is a ‘L’ with 56cm seattube C-T. I got this frame almost exactly 2 years ago and it had one previous owner before me. I believe it to be a 2010 model but I am not 100% sure. This frame has been from London to Glasgow, has won races at Herne Hill and is an alright commuter.
I (mistakenly) stripped the paint off - but saved the smily face on the bottom bracket! Looks real cool in the summer when it’s shiny and blinding everyone that dare look at you. I will remove all stickers and clean the frame for you!
At Newcastle-upon-Tyne Velodrome:

You can see the tiny, tiny dent in the top tube (near the front) in this one:

There is a v small knock in the top tube from the previous owner, I assume cause by bars hitting it, and recently I stupidly fell off (the only time) and caused a dent in the downtube with my knee (not a sharp object!). The dent has no sharp edges, I would estimate is no more than 5mm deep / off-centre at the worst point and is no where near as bad as stuff I have seen online - although I do see how this could negatively affect the value of this frame quite a bit! Pretty sure the shininess makes it maybe look worse than it is as it highlights the contours of the dent.

*Looks as if it makes the downtube a weird shape but it doesn’t actually affect the straightness at all - try lining up something straight against the image if you don’t believe me!! The Vigorelli just has a funky, fat downtube.
I am also throwing in a Shimano (I think it is!) BB, the FSA headset, seat clamp, some Stronglight cranks (no chainring) and an aluminium Cinelli seatpost.
I’m looking for about £250 for the lot but I am open to offers as I am leaving the country for 3 months in just 11 days so I need a v quick sale. I am based in east London (E11).
Please PM me if you are interested or have offers so I am alerted via e-mail.
I also have some other parts up for sale in the components section - including carbon wheels, beater wheels and other bits and pieces.
I hope you are having a lovely day!
Joseph :-)
