    I bought this frameset last fall but can't find the time to build it up the way I want to. It is a size XL (59cm) standard geometry frameset with thru-axles, custom painted seat post, stem and bars (all Cinelli Neos). The colour is a custom "Light Blue" instead of the more pale standard "Blue Sky" colour. I paid €2750 for frameset, Neos custom set and saddle. For €2250 I'll post it anywhere worldwide. Also included are Columbus headset, front derailleur hanger and axles. The fork is uncut and the frame was stored inside. No parts were mounted. Please contact me for details or make a good offer.

    I bought this bike 10 years ago when I collected Chris Chance bikes. It is currently my last Chris Chance and I want to make room for something else. This bike has never been ridden and is in museum condition. It was a custom that Chris made for the owner of the Bicycle Exchange shop in Massachusetts to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the shop in 1984. It has some very exquisite details like sterling silver head badge, logos and stars. Lugset is a custom HJ set including fork crown. The frame measures 55cm cc both seat tube and top tube. The Campagnolo Record pista groupset has custom cut-out stars. The rims are Nisi tubulars that read "for professional use only". Bars, stem, saddle and toe straps are all Cinelli. It is a bike that does not deserve to be ridden (sorry) and belongs in a museum or on a wall (above a bed). I once paid over GBP5000 for it and although that is quite a lot I do not expect to get that 100% back. It needs a good new home and I can ship it anywhere you want from the Netherlands. Because the tubulars are dried out, I'll send it without.

    I could be wrong, but in the rules I read:
    "Advisory (not rules):
    Update the thread (or close it) when your item has sold and say how much it has sold for.
    Put a price in the first post, with ONO (Or Nearest Offer) if you're willing to negotiate."

    Good idea, could definitely do that. Please allow me to keep it here for a few days see if someone this side of the world is interested.

    I really think it needs to be kept as a museum piece, but that is up to its new owner...

    One day I had a very large collection of Chris Chance (and Fat Chance) bicycles and this bike was the pinacle of that collection. I have been reluctant to sell it, but have decided a while ago to let it go if the offer is right (I paid quite a lot for the bike 10 years ago). The bicycle is a one-off custom track bike built by Chris Chance and shows some very nice details in sterling silver. It come with full history written by its first owner and it is needless to say that the bike is brand new and unused. I have included some pictures I shot years ago (which do the bike justice), but since then the tubulars and bar ribbon have been replaced. The tubulars were never glued on, so the wheels are brand new as well. The whole setup is very lush Cinelli and Campagnolo Pista. The bike is located in The Netherlands and can be collected, but I could bring it to the UK as well, since I am a frequent visitor to that side of the pond.
