• As much I really will regret it, I need the money to fund my latest watch purchase....
    Lovely old Alan Shorter frame in a red/orange colour, obviously it's not mint, with the odd chip and scratch, but it's in very good condition, the writing "shorter" does exhibit some wear, but it would be easy enough to get some new decals made, though personally I think the wear suits the aged look of the frame. Frame and fork have Gipiemme drop outs, sadly no indication of what the tubing is, but it's light! Found something on the internet suggesting it could be Columbus SLX....Oh it's a 10 x 2 set up, so a vintage frame with the benefits of modern wheels/hubs and gearing!
    Spec is,
    Mavic CXP 22 front wheel (brand spanking new as the original front wheel was stolen, with an equally new gatorskin)
    Mavic CXP21 rear, 105 hub, Gatorskin with plenty of life left in it(although in the picture it has a different tire fitted)
    Campagnolo chorus rear mech, appears to be quite decent, shifting is silky smooth
    105 front mech
    105 cranks
    Cinelli bars and stem (not seized in the fork btw)
    Sora brakes
    RSX levers (need new hoods as they let the bike down)
    105 headset
    I think that's everything. Right now I have on order, 4 new brake blocks which will be fitted for the buyer. The seat is comfortable but ripped and doesn't suit the bike, and if I was keeping it I would probably get a nice fluted seat post....47cm seat tube a 53cm top tube.

    For all this, I'd like 350 pounds....based in Stratford E15, could meet within reason....plenty of people will vouch for me as a seller. Apologies for the crappy iphone pics, didn't realize how blurry they were.

    Will try and get some better pics up tomorrow.

  • you might want to rethink your price

  • I'll take an offer on it. The new front wheel cost me 45 quid alone, plus the tire.....rear mech is worth about 45 on ebay.....and a very similar frame sold on ebay for 150... then all the other little bits...so I just guessed 350 was reasonable. Anyway, I need it gone so will consider any reasonable offer.

  • Drop to 320....anyone?

  • I'll chuck in a nice fizik saddle!
