SOLD: Principia REX

Danish produced Principia Rex alu frame for sale. Top of the line from Principia when they made them. Super stiff and very responsive.

Has been custom repainted this spring in blue and grey with glimmer effect (blue from the sides and grey if you look at it from the rear). Though got some smaller scratches and imperfections on the frame.

What's included:

1. Frame
   
2. Fork - Carbon - lightweight, stiff and compliant - quite nice ride feel tbh
   
3. Headset FSA Orbit (can also leave it out if you like) with headset reducers from 1 ¼ to 1 1/8
   
4. Cable guide
   
5. Derailleur hanger
   
   

Optional I can throw in a front derailleur clamp that fits the colours (free)

Condition
No dents and only some scratches and paint mistakes. All threads are in very good condition. I would say 8/10. If stripped and repainted 10/10

Size::
Top tube - 54,5
Seattube 51 C-C, 56 C-T

Price:
Asking £300 + shipping from Denmark (looks to be around £30)
NEW PRICE 270 included shipping
NEW PRICE 250 included shipping

***NEW PRICE £200 ***

Payment:
I guess PayPal is the way to go for international transfers.

Standards
Seatpost 27.2
Box: Standard BSA
Clearance - Depends on tires but rear brake bridge was tight at 25mm - if you are creative you can probably fit 27mm
Headset 1 ¼ if I call - hence the headset reducer set

EDIT: I see pictures dont work well. I will fix ASAP.






Scratches from chain such and front derailleur clamp

Paint surface problem on fork

I am not really into the prices in UK. Is the price too steep?

That colour is gorgeous!! GLWS.

Maybe a little steep. i paid a bit less than what your asking for a mint condition track jet recently and sold a 2005 sx ltd f+f in good condition for £250 and a 1999 Rex the same as this frame and headset with a small dent for just £140 also a nice principia 700 frame with columbus minimal fork just sold on here for around £250 i think so maybe that could be your upper limit for this ? Maybe flag this in the principia appreciation thread on here too? Quality frame with a nice paint job though so good luck with it

It's just a bit niche, not quite old enough for (most) collectors but a bit old for the WE warriors. I don't think you're going to get more on DBA or the FB neoklassikere group though, plus as market places go here is quite safe.

Agree with @Retro_bastard and @Lolo, I figure it is a little steep especially as needing some touch up - bloody lovely colour though and we all know the Principia quality. Good luck

Thanks a lot for all the inputs. Its much appreciated :)
