SOLD 1990 "Pyrenea Sport" Racer // 56cm square Vitus SM steel frame // Shimano Exage 300EX 2x7 speed // Serviced with new parts // £165 SOLD

SOLD SOLD SOLD

Hi all,

I have just finished putting together this 1990 "Pyrenea Sport" in Vitus SM tubing over the bank holiday weekend.

Frame size is 56cm square so good for someone around 5ft10/ 178cm.
The seatpost is unbelievably long at 400mm so it would also suit someone with long legs / a bit taller.

Condition of the frame is used - I would say average as I am picky and it has a few scuffs / paint chips, in line with being a 30 years old bike really.
All the consumables are in good order and I serviced the bike so you'll be good for the next year or so.

Equipment:

• Bars / stem are both 3ttt 42cm ctc / 100mm wrapped with new cork type tape
  
• Groupset is full Exage with 300EX FD / RD / chainset with Biopace "Oval" rings and aero Super SLR brake levers. Hoods are good.
  
• Cassette is a 7 speed 13-30t so will get you up any british hill
  
• Wheels are mismatched 700c clinchers but visually similar alloy box sections on Shimano hubs. Wheels have been trued and bearing adjusted.
  
• Tyres are new Vittoria Zaffiro 700c x 23mm clinchers with a blue strip
  
• Saddle is a new NOS Selle Italia Gel Blue (not Flite unfortunately!)
  
• Pedals are new Wellgo steel cage
  
  

All in a good honest bike that I serviced. Seatpost / stem move freely, gears are indexed and work well. Wheels are true, no play in bearings (BB/headset/hubs).Brake cables are new.

Yours for £175 ->SOLD FOR £160 and you can ride it away as a good reliable daily ride.

Pick up from The City EC2V near Guidhall.

What is Pyreanea Sport?
It is a now defunct french brand - this one was a brand belonging to ETS José Alvarez (based in Auch, near Toulouse, south east France) who used to be a key player in importing / selling big brands & mass selling complete bikes.

His establishment was the first one to import Specialized MTB in France.

He had deals with many brands and was buying frames from Peugeot at one time then adding Miche / Deda / ITM / Shimano components he used to negotiate separately in very large quantitities.

The death of his shop / system was of course globalisation, which ultimately undercut his margins. Death by internet if you will.

I can bring the bike to my work in The City if that helps a sale.

Between St Pauls & Bank.

The bike rides well and the indexing has been adjusted to perfection :-)

Can be tried in The City or I can take it back to New Cross.

It is a nice commuter bike with potential to get out of London every so often!

Now back in London following the harvest.
