650B low trail Cycles In Motion French style randonner bike

Another bike, this time £1450 (Or Nearest Offer).

Price reduced, more photos added.

Have ridden maybe 3,500km, end up using it less due to life getting in the way.

My favourite of all bicycle, the Cycles in Motion 650b Randonneur with unique drivetrain and build.

7 speed cassette shorten from a 10 speed cassette to allow not only a close ratio but almost nil cross chaining, it have 13-28t cassette paired with a 46/30 chainset and SKF bottom bracket, it's ridiculously smooth with no grinding feel at all on any range of gears.

The hub is actually a 120mm spaced freehub body type rather than 130mm, to allow clearance with the chainset without needing to bend the chainstay, it's a normal shimano freehub body which mean you can run a 5 speed friction or index with 8 speed shifter 6 speed (with 9 speed) and 7 speed (with 10 speed).

Dynamo is all integrated with connector-less, wired from fork into the rack, and the rear light.

Frames an fork is inspired by Jo Routens.

1" steerer with Campag smooth headset, original plan is to have a steel stem made for it.

integrated decaleur and rack made by Cycles in Motion, bag will be includes, looking a little worn but still excellent.

It got cantilever but can be ridden with mini-v (which in my opinion would have been the better choices).

Paired with Dura Ace derailleurs and shifters (10 speed indexed).

74 degree seat tube, 73 degree headtube, low trail.

Geometry is 62cm seat tube and 53cm top tube (c-t-c) with 74 degrees seat tube angle, this make the top tube more like a 54cm.

Weight is a shade over 10kg, this includes bag too.

Saddle not includes.

Please note that the drivetrain in picture is not the same below, it now have dark brown tape and Dura Ace 7600 in one of those picture.

Gosh. Another BUTE

Why are you selling all your best bikes?

nah the oak and this one was quite fucky, weird geo, scoble being scoble, same for his Brother allday which was 4 sizes too big

then eventually realised a carbon Trek bangs

we need to hold scoble accountable

Lolz

I will also add that I like both this and the Oak.
That's when custom builds are best, catering to the owners niche ideas and whims. (And I guess odd T-rex geometry)

Two seat tubes for the price of one!

62cm seat tube and 53cm top tube

Dang!

I have uploaded more photos.

Price will be drop to £1450 .
