Offered for free

Basso Reef
58cm
Alu frame with carbon seatstays
Full carbon fork

The good:
- Free
- Made it Italy
- Nicely smoothed over welds
- Quite light
The bad:
- There is a slight misalignment in the rear. It means you have to put the rear wheel in at a very slight angle for it not to rub on the chainstay. This is the main reason the frame is free. The frame only really has clearance for 23C tyres so the misalignment is quite small.
- It needs a clean
- The front brake is stuck in the fork. As in, the hex bolt is rounded off. So you get a free front brake.
Pick up only from Clapton

Edit: the frame is the correct way up in real life

Do you know how it became misaligned?

No. I bought it second hand. The tolerances on the frame are very small so it doesn't take much for it to be out.

Formatting Help

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:

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
