ISEN 51cm - complete bike or F&F

Posted on
  • Putting this up for sale. I know ISEN has lost a bit of good faith on here but as far as I can tell this frame is great, haven't had any of the structural issues people have mentioned, and its beautiful -- I just don't do this kind of riding anymore, so it's time to move it on. I keep thinking I might so I've been hanging on to it but I've got my eyes on a Neutrino project.

    Will get some better pics soon.

    ISEN 51cm frame - in the cadbury dairymilk colourway
    Chris King headset
    Ultegra 6800 Di2 Hydro disc, 11 speed (160mm cranks)
    105 hydro brakes plus some new rotors
    ritchey carbon seatpost
    deda (?) 38cm bars
    will throw in some flat pedals
    Currrently has 2 sets of wheels - DTSwiss 650c with 30c g-ones and a 26" set (Hope pro2 evo + Spank rims)

    *king cages pictured not included.
    *saddle not included, but can find something if its a dealbreaker

    I'll consider parting it out if there was sufficient interest in everything.

    Looking for £1850 all in. ONO.

    PRICE DROP: £1650

    cheers

  • Looks very well proportioned with the 650c

  • +1 what a fantastic looking bike. How tall are you out of interest? I wish more 650c road bikes existed.

  • I'm 5'5" and its perfect. I think all the small canyons are 650c too.

  • Ah didn't know about the canyons. I'm still trying to figure out options for a bike for my wife as she wants a road bike set up but is 5'1 with short legs. Looking at it, proportionally I reckon it would have to look like a 48cm frame on 700c wheels - if you get what I mean. Downtube and top tube touching at the headtube style. Anyway, I digress.

    GLWS, bike looks fantastic.

  • The small canyons are 650B. Are you sure yours a 650c?

  • Isen sepcc'd them as 650c for some random reason, however 650b fits fine (my wife had one and ran it in 650b guise with 32mm road tyres)

  • What model/size is it? Or if fully custom - some measurements please :-)

  • I need to measure up and confirm but this is the 51cm all-season currently on their website. I don't know if they changed much in the 2nd generation, I'll check, but gives you a rough idea for now.

    attempted the wayback machine and couldn't get the older page to load.

  • Does this take 700c wheels?

  • Maybe with 18c tyres

  • I know people have run 650b just fine. Unfortunately i have no 700c wheels to give it a whirl.

  • price drop bump.
