• I've kept this for the bike porn it is (it's not had any duties in my stable except to look good) but the time has come to move it on.

    I'm selling as a complete bike but have priced up the components for reference:

    • Unbranded 14 Bike Co. Frame (£300)
    • Omnium 165mm Silver track crankset (£150)
    • H Son Plus Silver rims with Mega hubs (8bar-bikes.com) (£220)
    • 25mm Continental Gatorskins (£30)
    • Nitto drops / Nitto 95 stem (£30)
    • San Marco Concor Supercorsa saddle (£30)
    • Campagnolo Centur front brake (£10)
    • Campagnolo Record headset (£20)
    • Kalloy seat post (£10)
    • MKS pedals with Cages (£20)
    • Diatech Goldfinger lever (£5)

    Original frame sale:

    From the original ad:
    "...an unbranded 14 bike co lopro. the tubing is columbus and the frame was build by cooper. the seat tubes is 57cm center to top but rides like a 55cm. top tube is 56cm... i paid £790 for and i want to get about £400 (now £360)..."

    My history with this:
    I'm bang on 6ft - 184cm and I don't think you'd want to be any taller to ride this. As the previous owner vouched for, it rides like a dream. Smooth as butter. Everything is aligned, wheels are true and roll forever - it really is a choice build if you are into this sort of thing.

    The bike is not new - it has light marks and scratches all over it really - as pictured. It has never bothered me, actually it encouraged me to get out there and use it (occasionally). So please don't expect a garage queen - even though I've used it as one. I had the front fork drilled to fit a brake and put it together to create the bike you see. IMO - the geo, the component match and look is perfect.

    I'd price it up as individual parts at £820 or thereabouts (I'll only split once I have dibs for the equivalent of its sale price). Hoping for £600 £500 all in - plus I'll throw in a set or BLB risers if you'd prefer that look.

    PM me if you are interested. Thanks for looking.

  • I love any advert that lists the individual prices of the components!
    Why don't we do that for everything?

  • Dibs omniums if it comes to it > what length are they?

  • I had this frame at some point in my life and can confirm it is stunning to ride.

    Sadly it’s not right time now, otherwise I would buy it back.

  • Very interested in some of the other components (headset, etc.). Will dm you in the coming days!

  • @Cloak/Dagger - stunning isn't it? Looks like the frameset may be split too...
    @n3il - very nice of you to say!
    @Mungbean has dibbed everything minus cranks, wheelset, tyres and lever
    @ojwithbits has dibbed crankset (on confirmation of length) and is thinking about the wheelset.

    Not exactly what I had in mind but if I can shift it all minus the frameset... I'd take that.

  • Price drop: £500 before I execute the split.

  • 2nd dibs crankset if you split please :)

  • Dips wheelset if you split
