This is how you do a Baracchi in yellow.

(I bought mine second hand, wasn't my colour choice)^ What he said though, nice comfortable frames. Have a bump.GLWS

Looking like I might have to split this... last chance for the complete bike at £999?

I can't understand why anyone would want to buy a brand new bike when there are bargains like this around!

• #7
Seconded, what a bargain, someone has to buy this.

Daft isn't it. Could be the time of year I suppose, no one's thinking about their summer bikes. Maybe I should just hold onto it until the spring...

Ulp. Lovely bike but can't sell in two places. Hope you sell it either way.

Oh, really? I do apologise, didn't realise - I really ought to read the rules a little better. I can't delete my lonely bikeradar ad either.
58 cm Condor Baracchi full carbon frame. Think it's the 2009 model, built up/bought in Feb 2010.
Campagnolo Centaur 2010 groupset, compact 50/34, 172.5mm cranks.
12-27 rear Centaur cassette, newish, done around 200-400 miles at a guess.
Pro-lite Bracchiano wheels - incredible light mid-range wheels, great for climbing.
Conti GP4000s tyres, in yellow. Yeah, I know. This colour scheme might offend some people. I've got some black conti ultras I can chuck in if you want.
Won't be sold with the yellow fizik saddle - will have a black Planet-X instead.
Carbon bars with... yeah yeah, yellow tape. I can re-wrap some black if you're boring, or have taste, or something.
Will also be provided with a spare Centaur chain and some brand new, never fitted.. oh god, these are in the store too so I can't fully remember... I think they're TA chainrings, forged and CNC finished. They're the good ones, anyway. There's loads of life left in the chain and chainrings on the bike, but in a splurge of consumer lust, I decided to buy new ones. New things are shiny. Caress them.
Overall it's gorgeous. As I said, the yellow detailing may not be to everyone's taste, but that's cosmetic. Lightweight, handles well, eye catching and comfortable to ride for hours - it's a perfect Sportive bike, and light enough to race on too. A beautiful bike from one of the UK's heritage brands.
I'm based in Dalston for the next couple of weeks, then Peckham. If you want it posted, that's possible but bear in mind I can't do that until I've actually moved house.
I'm 6'1", by the way. Would suit a rider an inch or two either side of that.
I've just dropped the price to £999 (have been advertising it on another forum).
(shown with the old aksium wheels here)
Quick run down of the value this represents:
Baracchi frame (currently retailing at £1500)
The glorious Campag Centaur groupset (that's £450 at a bare minimum)
The sprightly Pro Lite Bracciano wheelset (£300)
YELLOW Conti GPS4000 tyres (35 quid a pop)
Black Conti Ultra tyres (for those of you not man enough to go yellow)
Some miscellaneous bits of carbon (bars, seatpost, another hundred quid or so)
Spare chainrings (50 quid)
Spare chain (40 quid)
That's two and a half thousand pounds worth of top quality bike. For under a grand.
£999. Go on.
