FOR SALE: Foffa Prima Premium Edition FS/SS Bike - Black/Chrome - 52cm C-C.

Hi All, I know Foffa is basically a swear word on LFGSS, but my clear out must continue and up next is my Foffa Prima Premium Edition which was bought new in 2012.

This was actually my first FS/SS bike and I bought it before realising the merits of fixie conversions. In my eagerness I went and spanked £675 on this configuration which in hindsight was pricey, but this earlier example was one with the better quality TIG welded double butted Maxway made Cr-Mo 4130 frameset, the limited edition chrome fork, and I opted for nicer finishing kit including the Brooks B17 Narrow saddle and Deda track drops wrapped in Fizik tape etc, as well as the deep section chrome wheels.

Anyway the bike is in really good nick as it hasn't seen many miles, cosmetically its in very good clean condition and mechanically it's A1. The frame is 52cm C-T and current stem is short'ish at 80mm.

Apologies for not posting photos of the actual bike, I will do as soon as it's stops raining outdoors, but the photo below is basically identical with my bike except I opted for the chrome fork, my wheelset is also the chrome deep section version with a 16T freewheel and 16T cog fitted and I recently reinstalled both callipers, although the front rim has never seen a brake.

The bike's in London E14, I'd like £350 for it, but if I'm way off please say and contact me with any offers, cheers and Happy New Year!

£350

eBay/Gumtree is your best bet.

Oh God, I knew this was going to be contentious... yeah will most likely move this elsewhere in a day or two, cheers.

Hahaha, thanks man, no need to butter me up just because I sold you that carbon post for peanuts! Good luck with that Lee Cooper lo-pro build...

Right. Where do I start?

(straps on hard hat for incoming)

straps

... would indeed be a useful addition to the bike!

GLWS.

you guyz, give the man a brake, he needs one on the rear

ha, nearly as funny as the two incorrect 'you are' abbreviations!

Come on, not everyone on here is a native English speaker....

Good point, didn't mention that but it's got Cinelli Kink straps fitted...

I knew this was going to be contentious...

Nothing to do with it being a Foffa, I just think it's expensive for what it is and you're more likely to realise that sort of money on eBay or Gumtree.

What he^ said.

yeah, eBay or Gumtree, don't think anyone here's gonna pay that much for that

The saddle is nice at least. Even if it does have that 'foffaesque' negative inclination so redolent of the marque and the aggressive, aerodynamism it creates in total defiance of both perineal comfort and the ability to slow oneself once this awesome velocity has been reached.
