FS: Talbot ISP CX bike/bike-packing-bike/whatever is the most fashionable at the moment bike

It has looked like this:

But please bear in mind that a) it's not coming with the wheels, b) it's now got a Rodeo Labs Spork (painted to match the frame), and c) I've stolen the flat-mount adapter off the front brake caliper for a different bike. Of and d) I've taken the SMP off but will stick an Arione on.

I'm 187cm, ride either a 56 or a 57 depending on the frame. There's some scope for the saddle to go up (a saddle other than an SMP will move you up significantly with no other changes), and you can saw off as much as you'd like.

I'd like £800.

So everything apart from wheels? Is it full Ultegra?

Ultegra mechs, Ultegra CX crankset, 105 level shifters and calipers as I suspected they'd bear the brunt of running out of talent at speed.

Mad bargain. @TvH your size?

Hnnngggh

Thankfully it can’t fit rear mudguard and therefore I can’t buy it.

Would be a perfect fit for me. No bottle cage bosses so likewise I am out :(

I'll throw in some waterproof shorts

I did debate that, decided that (because race bike) I wasn't going to have them, but did also plan on putting a bladder in a bike packing bag (either bar or frame) if I wanted to use it for something other than racing.

Hawt

your size?

Yes indeed. Not my type tho

Do you have some geometry on this? What's the max seattube length? Very interested!

I'd have to ask Matt what the geo is, doing so now.

I can put a tape measure on the seat-mast tomorrow.

Achingly lovely......but obviously, no funds (public sector poor Cunt).

Anything you want as a swap? Bartering.....it's the future, get in at the start!

Afraid no swapping- have to pay for the Serotta.

Buyer can choose their preferred saddle:

Does the spork have mounts that could be used for bottle cages though? If so could be a quick fix (if not quite as convenient / aero as traditional bottle mountings).

Beautiful bike btw, good luck with the sale.

That's a good point - the Spork is that rare beast, a full carbon fork that is specified as being rack-suitable: http://www.rodeo-labs.com/rodeospork/

You could mount bottle cages to those with a very minor amount of ingenuity.

Is this in London?

no ingenuity whatsoever needed. they screw on. At least the spork I'm currently looking at.

Winner. Could you tell @el_presidente that please?

could you get your next bike made in my size pls?

You could cut-n-shut this?

cut-n-shut

LOL

I love the Klein, one of the best riding/handling bikes I have ever ridden, and I've had a few.

But, it stays hung on the wall - I should probably sell it as well.
