Stayer modified touring Trek 990, Diamondback Apex frame

These are all located in Edinburgh and shipping is not included in the price.

£80 + postage | Trek 990 frame. Frame has been powdercoated in Edinburgh since the original ad (listed at £35). I keep making plans for this frame, but the fit still hasn't magically gotten better, so this is back for sale with a fresh new paintjob. Nice and light, 53CTC TT and around 40CTC seat-tube. I'm 172cm or so, and this worked fine with swept back bars. Modified by Sam at Stayer cycles with extra mounts. Takes a 29.8 seat post (new Kalloy one supplied). Also has new BB, original stem, adjustable quill in case you'd like to play around with fit, Shimano SLX Parallax wheelset with Shimano skewers, 1 1/8th headset (needs a service but almost certainly fine to run for another 10 years). Can also include period correct(ish) Shimano crankset compatible with current BB for an extra £10.

£50 + postage | Diamondback Apex 18" Frame. Purchased off retrobike a few weeks ago and shipped from Hungary. Two days after buying it a complete build came up locally in the same size and similar condition, which I ended up buying. A nice and very light feeling frame made from True Temper - very noticeably lighter than the tubing used in the CC. In flawless condition and comes with seatpost collar and original paint matched fork (if you want it - otherwise I'll donate it to my local bike coop).

Sold
SOLD £310 + postage | Surly Cross Check (Size 54). Purchased from @kati about a year ago. Used for some touring and then for commuting and local rides. In excellent condition (f+f unused when I received them from Kati) with just a few small scuffs and a small amount of rust in the steerer. A bit too long for me, so I've lined up a smaller frame.
Comes with Cane Creek headset, shimano Square Taper BB, seatpost collar. Can also include wheels for an extra £30.

SOLD £110 + postage | Diamondback Apex 18" complete build. Built up from a complete build purchased locally, but with some components swapped. A very fun and nippy feeling 26er - On One Swept back bars, Shimano V Brakes, Alivio 3x8 shifters and a Colnago steel fork. Comes with gumwall DMR tyres which are a bit washed out. Despite wanting a smaller frame, this has almost an identical TT length to the Surly so also has to go.
Will get pictures up shortly - this is my daily ride at the moment so not too eager to sell this until I have a replacement - ideally this would go at the end of October.

Sorry the pictures aren't great - I don't have much space nor do I have good lighting

Hello mate, would be interested in the Surly. What would postage be to London? With wheels

Paging @Radski might be something here?

hello, pd's 990 pending some questions. which year is it from and whats the tt and st measurement ctc please. do you remember the original colours? cheers :-)

Hey, the ST is 42 and TT is 52. It was originally a red colour I believe. I'm not sure the year - early 90s

hi, thanks for that. too small for
me so undibs :-)
year on most of the lugged treks was often the first 2 numbers if the frame/serial
number (from
memory) on the bb. glws :)

Some price drops. Up till the weekend and then will sell locally - cheers!

Pmed about the surly

any chance of some more pics of the surly please?

also can you confirm its 700c wheels, cheers

Hi, have you got any of these three left ?

Also might be interested in the surly if still available? Am 5"10, wondering if the 54cm would work?

Diamondback complete build is sold, everything else is still available.

Cross check is 700c.

I'm 5'9" and find the CC a cm or so too long, it could definitely work for you at 5'10" but I suggest you compare the geometry to a bike you already ride and decide from there.

Aw man I have no need for it and it's probably too small as a tourer but I'm really liking the look of that 990

Ad updated, with a price drop on the DB frame

How much would be shipping to london? Interested in the trek
