Pearson Touche, 54cm price drop £225

Well used and much loved fixed Pearson for sale, now that I no longer commute by bike. It has also done a fair number of night rides to the seaside, and is pretty comfortable for day rides. But I am probably going to revert to gears for the time being.

Top tube is 54cm ctc, seat tube 49cm ctc, 53cm ctt. Light alloy frame, a few superficial scuffs from a happy life in London and a chip in the paint where the front brake (Shimano R650 deep drop) bumped the down tube. Carbon fork with mudguard eyes.

Currently set up with dynamo lighting at front and rear, but I plan to keep that for another bike so will find a replacement front wheel. The rear is an Open Pro built onto an Ambrosio hub by London Bicycle Workshop. Tyres are Conti GP 4 seasons, the rear having only 60 miles on it. Full ESGE mudguards. Prologo ti-railed saddle.

Bars and levers are stock from Kona Paddy Wagon, so about 10 years old and showing their age a bit, but fresh bar tape would work wonders.

The bike is in South Oxfordshire but I may be able to deliver within reasonably distance, including the western fringes of London as I work in Uxbridge.

I am hoping for £225 (without the dynohubbery) but let me know if I am way off on price.

Great price glws

Thanks @jv - I will try to do some cleaning and removal of extra parts this week so the I can show it off a bit better.

Open to reasonable offers, of course.

@smiff

cheers @NurseHolliday

will have a think about this.

Are you still just off Brixton Hill?

i am up the hill on streatham high road now. opposite kingscourt road.

soon to be moving to penge / anerley.

A few more pictures, now with some of the clutter out of the way. I've also established that I no longer seem to have a spare pair of brake levers. Also a price reduction to £225 or thereabouts.

The sun is out again. Look at the sparkle in the blue paint!

Price drop before I stash this in the shed for all eternity.

Is the rear hub fixed and free or just single sided?

Gosh, I have never checked - but will do so tonight. I have only ever run it fixed.

A friend is very interested but needs to run a freewheel.

It has a single thread on the other (unused) side of the hub, so ideal for a freewheel.

Perfect will relay

Have you got a front wheel sorted?

Not yet, I'm afraid. I had a bit of a clear-out before leaving London, which I now regret. There are various suitable wheels kicking around on ebay. Might see what I can find locally.

How does £200 without front wheel sound? I can collect from Uxbridge during the day.

That sounds fine - will PM

Sold - great to meet you, citron.
