FS: The Cursed Exploro

Piece of crap Italian engineering. Come and get your cheap aggro aero gravel bro frameset.

It's a medium, 54ish

It's white

It was cracked at the seat clamp, I home repaired it, it's absolutely solid now but still won't hold a seat post in place

You will need a solution to hold the seatpost up, I used a strip of inner tube and a butt load of tape and it stayed put fine. I also considered permanently carbon wrapping it in place to turn it into an ISP frame. Do whatever you want.

The rear mech hanger is a stupid design and is a bit bent. Replacements are available.

Fork is slammed only.

Takes a 47c at 650b or about a 42 at 700c

I think these are a couple of grand new? I got it cheap with the crack

100 quid collected from Putney?

Frame, fork, seatpost, headset, Rotor BB for GXP (maybe Shimano without an adapter, I can't remember)

Oh and I'll chuck in the prologo carbon saddle because the post only comes with oval clamps

I'ld instadibs if local. #spiritoftheforum

Oh and the fork is 15mm thru axle because reasons.

This is the sort of frame and fork sale we need more of round here.

Genuinely feel sorry for you. So much money for a piece of garbage. Everyone involved in those frames should be ashamed.

Favorite bike of Insta chads around here, GLWS

was there ever a well designed frame that had cable entry into the toptube behind the stem?

Nice pub bike. Tempting

An integrated dropper post should be considered an essential feature on a modern gravel bike

I've got a couple of frames like this its a very cleverly balanced design that manages to both partially integrate the cables enough to make them a pain in the arse to work on but leaves just enough exposed to look untidy and get in the way. Fucking genius 👌
I really wanted an Exploro when they came and still think they look cool but i am a bit of a trendy cunt.

Oh mate! If I was closer that would already be in my shed.
If you consider posting…

Choice of when it drops is extra

The mockup looked so good in the office, all those years ago...

Yooo, what happened to my dibbbsss?

Brakes are ready btw. Totally forgot to tell you sorry.

Is this still going? How tall are you? I am interested but it could be a bit on the small side and I don't back myself to improve on the fix here...

70 quid, still needs a home.
I put some renthal flat bars on it for 5 minutes but I just can't be bothered

Do you feel like a weekend in Berlin anytime soon?

Or do you feel like boxing it up and we figure out a way to send it over without it getting lost?

Hi @PhilDAS I'll take the 3T off your hands if it's still available?

Hey Chris,

I'm gonna give first refusal to @c.h.e as they asked first but I'll let you know otherwise

I'm not planning any European adventures for the near future but I'm happy to box it up and send it if you're keen

Happy to claim 3rd in line behind @ChrisB143 if both unfortunately fall through. Just need an all white kit to do 1 gravel lap through Richy P and show people how dirty I can get. Max gravel bro levels

As much fun as the plan to make one stupid plastic bike out of steel rando and steel road bike is, Brexit says no.
Of course it's still possible to send stuff over, but it got so expensive, and when you make a mistake with custom stuff it stays in Frankfurt forever.

If someone local wants to look like a gravel bro that makes way more sense.

Go for it!
