For Sale: MBK - Lopro / Pursuit Complete Bike (Columbus SL)

New motorbike means I have to let my pride and joy go. This is a rare frame and fork. Built to a high quality. Hand made in Italy using Columbus SL tubing on the frame and forks. Very very light. The complete bike weighs in at 7.2kg so the frame and fork possibly weighs in at about 2kg! I built this from scratch after getting the frame and fork. Has been more of a weekend/summer fun as opposed to a serious commuter. Sadly never seen a track as of yet while I've had it. To be honest it has probably only been ridden in total no more than 20 odd times. Only ridden in the sun and good weather.

Very solid bike, super stiff, responsive and fast!

Bike always kept in house and never left out in the rain. There are no rust marks, dirt or oil build ups at all.

I have uploaded very clear pictures to show you some of the small chips on the frame. About 6/7 in total. If this really bothers you touching up isn't too difficult or you could seek a pro painter who could easily do this. Just been to busy with my new toy to find time to do this.

This bike is in the West Yorkshire area, is ready to roll away now and can be viewed at any time.

I am willing to break the bike down or sell as complete. Would ideally like to sell the frame and fork together as it is almost one of a kind (I think only 8 or 10 where made for the MBK team in the early 90s).

Will ship to UK only.

Rear clincher?

Both wheels are Clincher...

Frame size ?

As stated in the listing: 57cm - Headtube center to Seat tube center (though a little difficult on these style frames to truly determine. But my best guess from measuring and actually riding is 57cm.

Ill take the rear wheel!!!!!!

I didn't want to do it but looks like I have to bring the beard out.

I am going to thrown in a fully grown beard and free coffee at LMNH.

This is an unbelievable offer.

Let me know if interested.

This offer is for the the complete bike only.

I'll eat 3 human babies to own this, that or a trade for a frame from a bike that cost the same as your frame alone, choice is yours.

Let's not bring cannibalism into this.

As for frames I am OK.

Cold hard cash or nothing.

The bike is still available complete and I would rather sell complete, not gone down the Fleabay route yet but just might have to.

Well maybe one day i'll see it in the street under its new owner and i can catch a whiff of it shooting past.

It's a fast bike so that might be difficult.
But if you do manage to get a whiff you are in for a treat.

Dibs rear, PM on its way.

Hi, was watching it on ebay and was going to bid don't blame you for splitting, the ebay price at the mo is a joke.

Andy

Yeah maybe the bike as I built it isn't to everyone's taste.
Personally I loved it. Not to bothered about classic this or njs that. If it looks good and feels strong and makes you happy then do it.

Offers coming in now for parts so if considering anything I'd get ya moves out.

Undibs rear.

Dibs rear if still available and pm'd

Hi would like to buy the full bike

Update..

The rear wheel has gone, but the bike as it is is still for sale.

I would rather sell whole. Without the rear wheel as a whole bike the price is £650.
