What?! NO!!!!

Yeah, sad times but I need to fund a rohloff hub for my brompton.
I've already had a couple of enquiries if I decide to split the bike. I will split it if I've got firm offers for most of the parts, but obviously priority goes to anyone who is interested in a complete bike. So post your wants and desires here and follow up with a PM x

Parting with this as a complete bike as I’ve moved to Sussex (which is hilly) 5 yrs ago and it's been in storage for even longer. Built it up with all new parts so everything has been fitted once and that's it. Overall it's probably been ridden for two summer commute seasons in London plus a handful of long rides.
Frame is hand built by Rychtarski using Dedacciai CroMo. The ride quality and responsiveness is testament to what a great frame builder can do even with rather average tubing. Paint and chrome finish is poor, i haven't abused the bike too badly but the paint has taken a few scrapes, mostly from being in a van when moving countries and between storage units. Anyway, the main paint damage is visible in the picture and I have priced the bike accordingly. If it bothers you get it resprayed. Never crashed, no dents, cracks or whatnot.
Wheels were been handbuilt by @broken_777 (<3). Still pretty true and very strong. H+ Son 32h rims laced to Phil Wood HF hubs, stainless steel spokes, 3x rear, radial front. Currently on the second set of tyres since being built. Phil Wood 19T sprocket with Phil Wood Lockring. Chris King Headset. Cranks are Sugino 75 165mm on a Campagnolo sealed BB, 50T Sugino chainring. Cinelli 1R stem and Criterium 65-40 bars with a Paul E-lever. Seatpost is a Miche Supertype with a Fizik Arione saddle. All moving parts run very smoothly and headset and BB were professionally fitted when I bought the frame. I'll throw in a BB tool and lockring remover if you need it as this is likely the last last fixed gear I'll own.
I love this bike mainly because of the ride quality of the frame, it's not a fixie skidder so if that's what you're after this isn't for you.
Sale is for collection from Hastings but I could meet you at London Bridge, Brighton etc. station or possibly ship, all by arrangement. Shipping fees are at buyers cost.
