This (just in case you’re blind to the thousands of logos plastered all over it…) is an Ambrosio Celsius IV carbon frameset. I got it from LFGSS a couple of years ago and it’s been used as a regular missionary-position 10speed; a single speed gadabout for lulz and, latterly, a thing “I really must get after…” that’s just hanging around and gathering dust. As 2019 is my year of not hanging on to so much tat, this has to go. It’s a great opportunity for someone tall to get into carbon without laying out loads of cash with the resulting buyer’s remorse > erectile dysfunction.
Dimensions:
Top tube: 58 c-c
Seat tube: 57 c-c or 60 c-bottom of seat clamp.
Stem is 100m with little rise. O/s.
It’s got a L > XL vibe.
What you get:
Frame, fork, stem, seat clamp, extra carbon seat post (the original has a clamping ‘crimp’ in it, could be used, imo), front derailleur band, Tacx bottle cages. Rad ‘Shoreham skatepark’ sticker.
The overall condition:
Fair. Structurally sound, it needs some looking after, because it’s a bit thrashed. If it were me? I’d spend a weekend out on the patio sanding the frame and fork to a smooth consistent surface, then rattlecan the hell out of it. There’s a bit of chainring rub on the drive side that isn’t fibrous, so I’d say it could be fettled with some high-build primer and a nice topcoat.
Aside from anything else, sanding and painting will get rid of the fugly graphics. Srsly, who stretches type like that? There ought to be a law.
£60 collected from Tooting. £65 if dropped in central.
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: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) 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
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
What the hell is this?
