Hello - looking for a bike for my bro's birthday and wondered if anyone's got anything in really good condition that they're looking to move on? Flex in price for the right bike but definitely want value. Would like something classic and ideally steel (genesis/Jamis/Surly) with decent parts but happy to consider alu or other materials for the right bike...

Cheers

Too classic?
If not, I will take more pictures as I have changed the wheelset, chain and saddle since this picture:

It is a 1988 Pinarello Treviso, the size is 56cm square (ctc).
Equipment is all Shimano 600 (Ultegra 6400) bar FD and RD which are RX100.
So that is seatpost, headset, BB, Chainset, brakeset, shifters.
New parts include: cables (inners/outers), brake pads, NOS Rigida X-Cite wheelset, BBB 8 speed cassette, a chain (when I fit it), 3T 42cm bars with Condor bar tape.
There is also a good San Marco Rolls on it as well as goo Gatorskins.
It will come with a Sigma BC800 wireless computer too - I need to change the batteries in the head unit.
As you can see from the pictures, I need to fit the new chain and it's good to go!
I'm after £450 for the full bike

This is a little bit too classic for me I'm afraid... definitely want integrated shifters etc, he's not into retro bikes particularly.... cheers tho!

Some really beautiful bikes have been suggested, both here and via PM - thanks everyone who's sent one. I'm still hoping someone might have a slightly newer steed that needs re-homing - anyone got anything they'd like to throw into the mix? My bro isn't a classic bike geek in any sense and likes newer tech in general...

Cheers

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.
