For Sale: Small Frame 48cm Gitane Match 700 Road Bike with SPD pedals & shoes - Columbus Tubes

For sale, a small 48cm Gitane Match 700 Sport 2x7speed Road Bike in Gitane/Tour de France colours with SPD pedals & shoes.

It is a small bike which would suit people between 5'1 - 5'4 (155cm to 162cm).

Some of you might have seen it in the Current Project thread here:
http://www.lfgss.com/thread82077.html
I cleaned and serviced it on Saturday and it is good to go!

The spec is as follows:

• Seat tube is 48cm CC, top tube is 50cm CC - Columbus tubing TIG weld and chrome forks;
  
• Shimano RS100 double crankset (FC-A550) 170mm with 46T outer and 42T inner;
  
• Shimano RSX 7 speed rear mech;
  
• Shimano RX100 front mech;
  
• Shimano RSX STI levers (only used for braking - gears are on the downtube);
  
• Shimano STX headset;
  
• Saccon brakeset (not seen one before but very nice stuff);
  
• Aero seatpost;
  
• ITM 40cm bars;
  
• ITM 90mm stem (now with plastic cover as I found it);
  
• New downtube shifters Shimano Z408 friction levers with fresh cables;
  
• New inner/ yellow outer cables - stretched and adjusted;
  
• Recent wheelset - Sachs hubs on yellow Rigida rims 700c 10sp one with a 7 speed cassette 14-25 + spacers;
  
• Fitted brand** new** colour coded Vittoria Zaffiro tyres (700x23);
  
• New computer battery and refitted along the new cabling;
  
• New yellow bar tape;
  
• Fizik Pave saddle;
  
• New bell;
  
• Look Arc auto pedals;
  
• Diadora TRIVEX II cycling shoes Size 39 (snug 39 so 38/39)+ Carnac overshoes - good clean condition with good Delta cleats to use on the Arc pedals
  The frame is in good nick, the stickers on it aren't that good but I thought I would keep them on but they are easily removable.
  
  

The aero seatpost is currently stuck and I've not tried to force it out - I figured out that whoever tries it will be the right size - I'm happy to provide more measurements.

The gearing is quite small (46T-14T max), making it ideal for somewhere hilly or for someone liking smaller gearing. I'm happy enough to change it for you.

Price wise, I think that £SOLD -> £SOLD is a good price for it since it's all cleaned, serviced and comes with SPD shoes & pedals.

The bike is in central London (Chancery Lane) so please come and see it and ride it home!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers

Vince

What a polite sale thread. Bravo.

Very polite indeed!

Here is a picture of the shoes & overshoes:

had to pull out of this purchase due to buying a bleeding house (no central heating, desperate modernisation required) here in sheffield. so, here's a bump to get you lot back in the game.

huge apologies to vince who sorted a box for it to be shipped in and everything.
