    Guru Praemio R Large Titanium Road Bike Frameset For Sale (RRP £3500)

    Photos - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ekrl7ws72tkxq63/AADbXCk9FRSx8rzjalg-7WaGa?dl=0

    For sale is my awesome Guru Praemio R titanium frameset. It comes with an Enve Tapered 2.0 carbon fork, Rotor PF30 bottom bracket, headset and three spare derailleur hangers. It's a size large (see below for further measurements) and would suit anyone around 5'11 to 6'2. Selling due to a house move.

    Thanks to it's striking paint scheme and raw titanium rear end, it's a real head-turner at any cafe stop or club ride. While the reasonably aggressive geometry and oversized titanium tubes mean this bike is very fast and stiff, the thinner seat stays and famous ride quality offered by titanium, means it's certainly comfortable enough for longer endurance rides too. It's compatible with mechanical groupsets only.

    As it's only been ridden lightly, it's in good overall condition. There are a couple of signs of use as shown in the photos, namely (1) a slight mark where the front derailleur clamps, (2) the brakes bridges and (3) a scratch to the paint on the downtube near the bottom bracket. Importantly, it's never been crashed, and there are no dents or any structural damage whatsoever. All the bearings have been regularly checked and regreased. Sold as seen.

    Enve Tapered 2.0 Fork
    Seat Tube C-C: 510mm
    Effective Top Tube Length: 560mm
    Head Tube: 170mm
    Chainstay Length: 360mm
    Wheelbase: 980mm
    Bottom Bracket Drop: 85mm
    Rear Dropout Spacing: 130mm
    Front Dropout Spacing: 100mm
    Steerer Length: 244mm
    Seat Post Diameter: 27.2mm
    Bottom Bracket Type: PF30
    Wheel Size: 700c
    Maximum Tyre Clearance: 25c
    Includes: Frame, fork, headset, bottom bracket, seat collar & 3 mech hangers

    Looking for £1500, but open to sensible offers. If you've got any questions, please let me know and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can. I can either package and post it securely, or arrange for local cash on collection from Manchester and surrounding areas (respecting social distancing, of course)

    Due to a move and a resulting lack of space, I am selling my 2006 Specialized Rockhopper. It is a size Large or 19" and will fit anyone around 5'10 to 6'2.

    Everything works as intended and the bike is ready to ride away. It would make a perfect sturdy commuter, second trail bike or an introduction to the dark side for a curious roadie. Alternatively, it can be used for parts and I am willing to separate.

    As you can see from the photos, there is some damage to the frame with a few dents and paint chips to the top/seat tube which were there from the (mis)use of the previous owner. They have given me no cause for concern or presented any issues during my ownership over the past 18 months or so.

    Over the course of time I have changed pretty much every single component on the bike, other than the headset and seat post.

    • Complete Sram GX 10 speed drive train which has been modified to a 1x set up.
    • Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes w/ new pads
    • Adjustable Rock Shox Revelation forks (110mm - 140mm travel) w/ remote lockout
    • Mavic Deetrack Wheels
    • Pro handle bar and stem

    The bike does not come with the XT pedals shown, but I can provide some flats if needs be.

    £175. Collection from Sutton or I am happy to post at the cost of the buyer.

    I am happy to take/send more pictures or answer any questions you might have.
