Donohue 631 Touring Bike 59cm Chris King Thomson Fulcrum Dura Ace Shimano 105

Yellow beast! :)

I've taken this on 2 tours & love it but due to a knee injury i'm going to be out of action for a while.

FRAME SIZING

TT // 58.5cm
ST (BB to Center) // 58.5cm
ST (BB to top of seat tube) // 61cm

Frame has quite a few little scrapes and chips but no dings, just general cosmetic wear and tear which IMO is ideal for touring. 631 tubing & includes all the rack bosses you need for touring. Havn't seen another Donohue like this! The paint is ace.

BUILD/PARTS

→ Dura ace shifters (some scrapes but function great)
→ Fulcrum Racing 5 wheelset (smooth & solid)
→ Thomson stem (great condition)
→ Chris King 1" ahead headset including converter for threaded set up
→ Shimano 105 Crankset, 10spd (few scrapes but all straight and plenty of life in rings)
→ Shimano 105 front brake, Shimano R415 long drop on back to work with frame
→ Think bars are Deda Piega but cant actually remember + barely used fizik tape
→ Super Solid Tubus rack (could be set up flatter, I was rushed)
→ Time 1" carbon fork (some cosmetic damage which has been sharpied over but totally sound and lovely shape)
→ Original steel 1" fork also included (see photos)
→ Flite titanium (lil bit ratty but comfy)
→ Carbon seatpost (fairly cheap & old, probably worth something more solid for touring but i never had problems)
→ Shimano 105 Front / rear derailleur
→ Basically brand new ultergra bb
→ SKS rear and front mudguard (front trickier to fit)

OTHER INFO

→ ATM it's fitted with a slightly short chain (I transferred everything over from another frame onto this including slightly shorter chain). I'll include a brand new 10spd chain.
→ Probably benefit from a light service if going on another tour, just to tune gears/brakes a touch more, but rides totally fine as is
→ The front derailleur is shimmed as it's a 31.8mm band, works totally fine/solid

I love this bike and wish I could foresee myself using it more but alas being realistic i wont, so rather it's getting ridden. It's last outing was across the Scottish Highlands & it was a beautiful ride. Very comfy but also responsive.

Price SOLD. Willing to post.

Any question let me know!

What is the max tyre size the frame can accommodate? This would go nicely with my yellow 853 road Donohue...

That's a very good question- let me check. I'd imagine with original steel fork 32s would fit. Probably slightly less with the carbon fork on there atm as that's a road rather than touring fork

Price drop to £575 ONO before putting on ebay

Hi, presume that this has gone?

It's very nice. But is it a touring bike?

Yes, could do with a sub/compact chainset. But otherwise it is a lovely bike.

Sold now :) I did a big tour of Scotland on it, thoroughly enjoyed. It's a touring frame (with all the bosses, longer chainstays etc) but tbf groupset is more road
