SOLD
So this 'ere is a bit of a bargain but also a bit of a curate's egg - good in parts!
The frame was really high end back in the day, triple-butted CroMo so the Superlite name was not just marketing hyperbole this really is a light, quality frame. Sadly it's had a very hard life including a dent in the top tube which is only cosmetic but relegates this to a bit of a beater. RSX-100 8speed groupset with indexed (or friction) shifting all works as it should but is also very challenged cosmetically. Wheels are the RSX hubs with Mavic OpenPro SUP rims, but the rear bearings in particular are rough, it will roll on for a good while yet but grumbles a bit. Saddle is a bit odd and smells of damp shed. Bottom bracket and headset both sealed bearings with loads of life left. In short, it goes, it stops, it's not pretty but it's pretty light. Great frame back in its prime. What's not to like for £100??
Size - 59cm(st) x 57cm(tt) c2c, saddle height as shown 78cm, would suit someone around 6'+/-
Viewing/test ride welcome, I'm in SE1/Waterloo.
